Crayola has already enjoyed a strong start to the year, sending waves of excitement through the art community by announcing the return of eight classic colours — for a limited time. While the revival of nostalgic shades like Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint, and Raw Umber has sent many a budding artist into a fevered frenzy, the American art supplier isn’t stopping there. This spring, they’re unveiling a brand new way to unleash creativity, guaranteed to put a fun, fresh spin on art.
Introducing Colourwhirls, an exciting new toy that merges the classic play of spinning tops with Crayola’s renowned range of washable markers. An innovative concept that takes creative expression to the next level, Colourwhirls allows users to craft mesmerizing spiral designs with every spin. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, Colourwhirls are designed to captivate and inspire, transforming ordinary doodles into dazzling displays of colour. But Crayola’s latest offering isn’t just about making art — it’s also about friendly competition!
Inspired by the high-energy battles of Takara Tomy’s Beyblade, Colourwhirls introduces a dynamic twist on artistic play. Players can challenge their friends to colourful clashes — ripping, spinning, and battling their tops in a fast-paced contest where every spin creates a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It’s an exciting fusion of creativity and action, making it a must for artists and game lovers alike.
To take the fun even further, Crayola has also introduced the Colourwhirls Arena. Showcased for retailers earlier this month at New York Toy Fair, this specialized playset serves as both a battlefield and an art station, with four spin tops that transform Crayola markers into extraordinary expressions of design. Whether you’re playing solo or facing off against friends, the arena adds a whole new dimension of excitement. These spinning tops are also fully compatible with other Crayola products, including broad and fine line markers, Pip-Squeaks, and Super Tips — meaning even more ways to mix, match, and experiment with your favourite colour combinations!
The Crayola Colourwhirls lineup features 12 collectible colours and is available now at major retailers. Individual tops are priced at $6.99 USD, while three-packs are available for $14.99 USD. Want the full experience? The Colourwhirls Arena can be yours for just $19.99 USD.
Whether you’re looking to create stunning spiral art or engage in epic clashes of colour, get ready to rip, spin, and create — because with Crayola, the fun never stops!
