Crayola and Wild Planet’s Crayon Town Play Sets

Coloring, construction and creative play: three great pastimes that go great together in Crayola and Wild Planet’s new Crayon Town play sets. In the Zoo set shown here (Neighborhood, Airport, Ranch and Construction sets are also available), you can use the four included crayons to bring the black-and-white 3D buildings and double-sided play mats to life. The zookeeper, animal and building toys can even benefit from broken or spent crayons when you’re done coloring: Just insert the nubs into the open slots, and you’ve got a giraffe neck, a tree for the monkey to climb, or a pair of pillars for the welcome gate.
