REPOST: I started this swap in one of my groups and I had to cancel it due to the only other swapper that joined was suspended, so I'm reposting to share with everyone, since I'd already packaged up an envy for my son's partner.

Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but I personally “love” crayons. I love the smell of a new box when you open it, and opening up a coloring book to a clean page and just coloring time away.

For this swap I would like to swap out a box of "Crayola" brand Crayons and 2 coloring books. This is actually going to be for our little ones that love mail as much as we do, and love to color as well.

Rules

This swap is for the kids between the ages of 5 – 10, or whatever age you feel your child is able to color with the crayons and not eat them. (HAHA).

You will post your child’s age below in the comment area, whether male/female, and up to 2 of their favorite characters (i.e., pokemon, Disney, etc.). This does not guarantee any hearts, just nice to be able to send something they like if the sender so chooses.

You will purchase 2 coloring books and a 1 box of at least 8 Crayola brand crayons minimum or "more" (they are very inexpensive right now with school starting, I found a box of 8 at Walmart for .50 cents). Please make sure they are Crayola brand. The cheaper brands tend to break easier, and are very waxy and not as “bright.”

Mail on time and don’t disappoint a child, I will ban members I feel that do not meet swapping guidelines, any 1's or 3's not allowed - thats why the last person got suspended, not dealing with that - sorry !

** I hope you’ll join, especially if you have children, it’s a fast and inexpensive swap for kids, and we know they love mail as well.

Again extras to a child is always good, please make sure they are “age/ gender appropriate” to your assigned partner, even if they are not based on their favorite character. Hearts are up to the receiver - not based on extras.

Thank you for joining, any questions you may PM me or post questions here below - RainyC

Unfortunately, the computer automatically pairs up partners, I don't assign them. BUT.. a suggestion to both of you SLWebster82 and HGoodbrad is that after your one partner is assigned that the BOTH of you PM each other with addresses to swap with each other for your extra son/daughter.
(Did this make sense)?

ALSO.. for the both of you, if you could please clarify "which" one of your kids you will be swapping for on this thread, the other childs name and info can be PM'd to each other.

HGoodbrad 08/12/2010 #

My son is Burgess he is 6 ~ He likes firetrucks, TRAINS, construction vehicles and zoo or Jungle animals

RainyC 08/12/2010 #

OH.. also.. to HGoodbrad and SLWebster82 you could set up a private swap between the two of you. :) just a suggestion .. :)

Ok my daughter Chasity will be preticipating :) Chasity is 7. She loves all the girls from the Disney channel. Such as Hannah Montana, ICarly, Wizards of Waverly Place, High School Musical. She's very girlie and loves anything girly!

Hi - this is for my daughter Emma. She is 5 and loves anything girly. Some of her favorite things include Disney Princesses (especially Ariel), Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, Littlest Pet Shop, Hannah Montana, Lightning McQueen, Tinkerbell. What a great swap idea!

sunnylee7 08/12/2010 #

I too love the scent of a brand new box of crayons! I thought I was the only person in the world who loved that smell. And I love to color as well. Alas, I do not have any children though, so I will have to sit this one out. Have fun all...

Hi. This will be my first swap. I love coloring. I don't have any children. But I do have little sisters. My sister Tristan is 7 years old. She loves coloring. She likes Spongebob Squarepants, Littlest Pet Shop, and Tinkerbell.

RainyC 08/12/2010 #

thanks to everyone who's joined so far.. so happy to see you all..

agoodgirlie2 08/12/2010 #

This looks like so much fun for the kids! My son Sid is 3, and he's never been one to eat anything he isn't suppose to really, esp crayons so I'm lucky I guess. He loves Yo Gabba Gabba and any sort of cars, like Hot Wheels, Tractors and Trucks or Dinosaurs and animals. He is totally boy.

MrMcCrayon 08/12/2010 #

I love Crayola crayons too! I once got thrown out of Wal-Mart for opening all the boxes to smell them. Yeah that was mischevious of me. But I was 17. I still love doing that, but am certainly more careful about how much i do at once.

RainyC 08/12/2010 #

wow.. you are a "crayon freak" MrMcCrayon !! LOL..

RainyC 08/12/2010 #

HGoodbrad and SLWebster82 I am deleting your first post so not to confuse your partner on who they are mailing to, since you two have a private swap for your second little ones.. :) thank you!!

I have to tell a little story here to help exonerate MrMcCrayon. My son's preschool teacher is a mega crayon freak. We once helped them all make "new" crayons by pouring the bits into mini-muffin tins then melting and cooling them. When it was time to take them out she kept rubbing them and sniffing them and finally was like "Is it just me or do you really want to lick these?" I almost fell over from laughter! She DID lick one and you could just see her face light up! It was HILARIOUS!!!

lorepuckett 08/15/2010 #

Hi! My nephew Avery is 6 years old. Whenever my husband and I go to visit we always end up on the floor with him and his 3 year old sister coloring, too funny! He loves Super Heroes and Transformers. :)

RainyC 08/15/2010 #

Please remember to list ONE child your partner will be sending - I know many of you have more than one child. This is for 2 coloring books. Also remember this is a "sender's choice" on the books they send, it is up to the sender if they choose to use your suggestions, or even find the type of characters your child enjoys. If you have listed more than one child, please update to list one child only, I will be deleting those post that contain more than one child tomorrow, I want to give you all a chance to update. Thanks ..

erisgrrrl thanks for sharing. .that is just TOO funny !! I love making those leftover crayons with all those colors. my little one did that in preschool.. a great way to recycle all those broken crayons

My daughter is age 9 and loves spongebob, hello kitty, anything girly.

nermalski 08/17/2010 #

I had to hunt down a box of 24 cts for school this year as target and walmarts by me ran out, even walgreens. I had to pay outrageous price at the grocery store.

I'm signing up Allison who's seven. She loves to color and can never have to many coloring books. She loves animal books and the off brand types at the 1.00 store. Not too much into licensed except Littlest Pet Shop.

sherred 08/18/2010 #

My daughter, Jaiden, is 8-years old.
She loves to color, and her favorite things right now are: Hannah Montana, puppies, bunnies, American Girl, SpongeBob SquarePants, Lisa Frank designs and just about any cute baby animals!
THANKS! She will LOVE this! :)

luvscrappin 08/27/2010 #

My daughter is 3 3/4 and loves My Little Pony, Little Pet Shop, Disney Princesses, Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty. My son is 6 3/4 and LOVES Phineas and Ferb, Hot Wheels, Sponge Bob. In general both like Toy Story 3 and animals. As a note: Yes my kids make me say the 3/4 part in their age - I am not allowed to round up :)

luvscrappin 08/29/2010 #

Since this is for one child, my daughter is more into coloring books than my son. I will leave it as sender's choice. Anything is greatly appreciated.

MorahLaura 09/ 1/2010 #

Wow, I'm having trouble finding Crayola crayons and coloring books. Back to school time is nuts. My local walmart was sold out of crayons!! And I don't want to send dollar store coloring books.... But I won't give up!

RainyC 09/ 1/2010 #

MorahLaura I sent you a PM..

RainyC 09/ 2/2010 #

Thanks to whomever gave me a STAR I wish it'd tell you, so you can thank that person "personally".. :) <3
