Crayola Introduces New Scribble Scrubbie Pets, Glitter Dots Kits And STEAM Lineup To Inspire Limitless Creative Play
Latest advances in creative toys coming to the American International Toy Fair 2020 include imaginative play environments, STEAM inspired experiments and mystery glitter-play boxes

EASTON, Pa., Feb. 21, 2020 -- Crayola the brand that sparks creativity through color and encourages kids to expand their imaginations, introduces the 2020 holiday line up at the American International Toy Fair on February 22 - 25, New York City (Booth #403). Building on the tremendous success of fan favorites Scribble Scrubbie Pets and Glitter Dots, this year's line-up will introduce new play environments, mystery glitter fun with less mess, explore kids' love of sciences with a creative twist and fuel creative exploration with DIY art-inspired activities.

"This holiday, Crayola will fuel creativity with innovation from our most sought-after toys and foster a love of learning and play with the new STEAM inspired science kits," said Rich Wuerthele President and Chief Executive Officer, Crayola LLC. "Scribble Scrubbie Pets flew off the shelves in 2019, and the 2020 line up gives kids more of what they love from the original products – while also providing new aspects of imaginative play within more environments. The Crayola STEAM Science Kits will bring science into the home through colorful and fun experiences."
