EASTON, Pa.\u00a0 \u2013 National Color Day is known for encouraging people to observe and appreciate the colors around them. But today, area children took the colorful holiday to a new level and celebrated by adding even more color to the world while visiting Crayola Experience in downtown Easton.<\/p>\n

The family destination that brings color and creativity to life encouraged kids to use their imagination to create new colors during a National Color Day public event in The Crayola Store this morning. The event included\u00a0book readings of\u00a0the newly released children\u2019s picture book\u00a0Crayola: Ellie\u2019s Crayon Adventure<\/em>\u00a0with author Sarah Glenn Marsh.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the book, kids imagined and created their own new color and built a communal art project\u2014with a little the help from the magical Color Catcher character in Ellie\u2019s adventure. They also participate in a Color Scavenger Hunt through the 4,000 sq. ft. Crayola Store, complete with clues, puzzle solving, and prizes.<\/p>\n
