Product Review: Crayola Beginnings

Crayola has just introduced a new line of products geared specifically for your toddler. In a day and age where everything has to be electronic and we heavily buy into the idea that we need products to boost our child’s development, I’m happy to see Crayola do some reinventing of their products that actually makes sense.
