Break Out the Crayons! Let Your Kids Color Crewcuts Shoes

A tot's touch of color makes all the difference!

A tot's touch of color makes all the difference! Children can make their mark on everything from sneakers to Hermes scarves these days. And, J. Crew just launched a Crewcuts shoe shop coloring book. The five artistic designs include wellies, ballet flats, and sneakers. They can be downloaded (for free) and printed for kids to color or brought to life digitally and then either printed or uploaded to the J. Crew Facebook page for others to see. The artistic activity is much cheaper than buying the actual kicks!
