Looks like the minimum order for those are mind boggling.

I found this website. http://crayonking.com/

Looks like you could slap a return address sized label on it with your logo/information.

Cool idea!.....and I was just going to give stickers and my business card....

I love your pics Savvy! You are so generous with us. You should put your name in the corner as the artist and maybe a tiniest font url for your deviant art site. I am so using this idea.

Thanks for that link... I'd have to check how much their shipping would be to Canada.... they say call them for a quote.

Or just go to the dollar store and print your own labels to put on them (as already mentioned) ... I think that would be cheaper.

oh I'm ok with putting my own labels on them... it's just where to find the little packs of crayons for a good price.

Ages behind the conversation.. here are crayons from the Oriental Trading Company http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/search/processRequest.do?Ntt=crayons&x=0&y=0&requestURI=searchMain&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&N=0 Not sure about minimum orders though...

Just thought I would share in case anyone is still interested in crayons... you know how crappy some of those cheap crayons can be and I found a supplier for the little 3 and 4 packs of CRAYOLA crayons... http://www.hotelfun4kids.com/hotelproducts/craft/crayon.htm

Just as a side note, alot of really cheap crayons have lead in the wax, helps to hold the colour. Crayola doesn't.......just saying

At my last event, I covered the 10 foot long table with newsprint (taped down with duct tape Wink

and brought out a box of crayons so the kids could colour while they stood in line. It was alot of fun and in the end there was an amazing piece of art.

Is it just me, cause I can't see the coloring pages in either of your galleries.

I thought up this idea awhile ago, thought I was a genius at the time, HA!

My original plan was to make it a booklet with 4 pages front and back, then to sell small advertising spots on the page corners to help pay for the book printing and keep my fellow party businesses in good with me (bounce house, party store). Some of my other thoughts were to have the kids color a new design on the back and have a place where they turned them into me for a contest with their parents email address. I get new ideas and email addresses for my mailings and I can send a few winners a coupon or something, but I never got around to that.

Now I have changed it to a two sided paper folded in half, with two smaller pics side by side on inside. More like a leaflet? Much cheaper to print, no stapling! All the pics I use were of children I painted and used a computer program to turn it into a cartoon.

Here was my old copy of the front and back covers.

What a wonderful Idea. What computer program did you use?

I think it was called PhotoSuite 6, it came with my older computer, I did have the clean up the edges a bit. Alot of websites like piknic.com will modify pics for you!

I like the colouring the table cover idea! What a neat idea for a birthday activity for them to keep!

Here's a link to Angel Contreras' site. He does caricatures/coloring pages for clowns. He could probably do a child's face if asked. I know it's not a really low-cost option, but for those of us who are drawing-challenged, it's another option.
