Inside the Crayon Box with Crayola & Lisa Loeb

on
Crayola believes that creativity matters. It’s a skill that all children can learn and when it’s practiced every day, kids become the critical thinkers, problem solvers, and leaders in the classroom, and they’re better prepared for professions of the 21st century.

Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they’re inviting parents “Inside the Crayon Box,” for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child’s creative thinking. If you find yourself looking for new ways to inspire your children to express their ideas and build their creativity, you’ll want to join us to learn and share!

The first “Inside the Crayon Box” live chat was Wednesday, March 7 at 9 p.m. EST. Crayola and musician, children’s author and mom, Lisa Loeb held a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook Page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit “Stay (I Missed You),” will shared personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter.  Participants were able to ask Lisa questions during the event.

Interested in the topics covered during the chat?
  • Why Does Creativity Matter? Creativity is not about who’s the best artists or becoming an architect. It’s a way of thinking that encourages kids’ original ideas and develops their confidence.
  • Growing Up Creative. Lisa will share stories about growing up in a home where creativity was encouraged.
  • Simple Tips. Easy Ideas. Like most moms, Lisa juggles a lot. She’ll share simple, easy ways she sparks her daughter’s creativity as part of their daily routine.

Be sure to check out Lisa’s book Lisa Loeb's Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs (Sterling Children’s Books, 2011) available at Amazon.com.

Sing, laugh, and play with pop Lisa in this fabulous collection of ten of the silliest songs ever. Fun activities, games, and recipes accompany whimsical songs. Take Lisa's Silly Sing-Along with you wherever you go and get the high-spirited good times started. Includes a 10-song CD recorded by Lisa!

Unfortunately, I was not able to share the information about the first Crayola “Inside the Crayon” live chat with you, my dear readers, on or before Wednesday, March 7th so that you could plan to attend.

But you can view the interview with Lisa Loeb on the Crayola YouTube channel. Crayola would love for you to view and share the video.
