Here’s a sneaky way to get in a quick chemistry lesson when children (and adults) color – chemistry labels for the crayons. Easy shop Que Interesante has these creative labels in set of 24 for $3. The labels identify the most common compounds used in creating the colors.
While it is doubtful that most kids will be creating science experiments while they are coloring, by the time they do get into chemistry they may be familiar with a few chemical names thanks to the crayon set from younger days. Not to mention that the whole concept is really quite interesting for us older crayon users.
