The Cap Trapper Giveaway

May 12th, 2008 by Marie

I have just been introduced to the The Cap Trapper, a new crafting product. Rebecca, a mother of 3 and a former teacher, came up with this inventive idea for trapping your marker’s caps. She got tired of losing caps and markers drying out. So she developed a way to keep the markers together and ready to color.

The image “http://www.savvymaycreations.com/images/orig_productpage.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I am a lover of crafty tools, especially when they help crafting go smoothly. I have been lucky enough to try these Cap Trappers out. By simply slipping your marker’s caps into the spaces provided, kids are ready to color away. My kids knew right where to put them back when they were done, leaving the markers capped and ready for the next coloring adventure. No more dry markers to throw out!

They can also be hooked together to form a longer cap train, keeping all your markers in the same place. Or even a fun bracelet. These Cap Trappers would be great for all ages of kids. And I know plenty of Teachers who would go GaGa over them too.

Here’s more exciting news: Rebecca from The Cap Trapper is happy to Giveaway these great Cap Trappers to 2 Make and Take readers. Just leave a comment on this post and you are entered to win. This giveaway will go until Thursday night at Midnight and the 2 Winners will be announced on Friday Morning. So comment today for your chance to get your hands on this fun new crafting tool.

on 12 May 2008 at 9:35 am33 Kara Jayne

I wish I would’ve know about these things earlier!! I just threw out a whole slew of markers the other day. What a great idea. I love people who have a problem and then DO SOMETHING about it. It helps us all out in the long run!!

Great Idea.
on 12 May 2008 at 9:53 am37 Natalie

I could have used that this weekend when my daughter wandered took the lid off a brown marker and then wandered around the house with it and lost it. Great idea!!!
on 12 May 2008 at 10:00 am38 Samantha

These look fabulous!
on 12 May 2008 at 10:01 am39 Kari Follett

What a fantastic idea. I have thrown away too many markers!
on 12 May 2008 at 10:57 am44 Allison

on 12 May 2008 at 11:20 am45 Tricia

What a wonderful idea!
on 12 May 2008 at 11:24 am46 Nancy

this could make it so my kids actually got to color w/ all the markers we own instead of me hiding them in closet until they figure out how not to lose a lid and draw on EVERYTHING… themselves included.
on 12 May 2008 at 11:32 am47 Mariah

What a great idea! I’d love it.
on 12 May 2008 at 11:46 am48 Julie

Oooohhhh! I’ve never seen anything like it! I love it! As a former teacher and now stay at home mom of two girls, we have lost many a cap…especially when we take the art stuff outside to enjoy the day. Thanks for the chance to win such a great product. Wish I would have thought of that :o)

Oh my gosh. I was just thinking that I needed something like this. My markers (and checkbook) would be soooooooo thankful!
on 13 May 2008 at 2:52 pm74 Sarah A.

These look great. Maybe I would actually throw away less markers because the lids would all stay in one place. Thanks!!
on 13 May 2008 at 5:18 pm75 Jessica

~cheryl
on 14 May 2008 at 7:31 am79 Megan

Great! Now only if they came with head-to-toe smocks so my kids wouldn’t be covered in marker, then proceed to cover everything in the house with marker-prints.
on 14 May 2008 at 10:34 am80 Jessica

What a fantastic idea! Wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with this one….
on 14 May 2008 at 2:14 pm81 Erin

I love this idea!!!

Where were these when my kids were growing up and leaving the lids off their markers. My grandson sure could use them, when we are playing I always find lidless markers they are dried out.
