My favorite Crayola color is Cerulean (The Devil Wears Prada quips notwithstanding!), and now I can find it in water bottle form, thanks to the adorable CamelBak x Crayola collection. You can make meeting your kid’s hydration needs way more fun for summer with this colorful range of drinkware designs that look like larger-than-life Crayola crayons, and that are available now on Amazon

The collection — which launched in November but just went viral on Instagram — includes insulated stainless steel bottles in a 16-ounce size as well as lightweight, non-insulated plastic options in a 25-ounce size in a variety of Crayola’s trademark colors (and CamelBak’s signature styles). Both feature an adorable lid design that echoes the classic crayon shape, and a label design that looks like the storied Crayola logo. The vacuum-insulated stainless steel model helps keep drinks cold, offers a spill-resistant chug lid, and boasts a silicone base that helps reduce slipping (and noise!) on hard surfaces. The non-insulated plastic bottle features a fast-flow chug lid for easy drinking, and a slim design ideal for backpack pockets and cupholders. 

There’s also a 14-ounce flip-straw plastic bottle that’s non-insulated and features a bite valve, which means water only comes out when the straw is gently bitten (it’s designed like this to prevent spills in backpacks and lunch totes). 

The crayons, er, water bottles, are priced from $17 to $28, depending on the model you choose. The colors include favorites like Pink Flamingo, Cherry Red, Aquamarine, Sky Blue, and Mountain Meadow. Whichever size and color you and your kid pick, the crayon silhouette is an unmistakable homage to the classic creativity brand. And according to CamelBak, all three bottles are dishwasher safe.

Positive reviews have been pouring in over the last few months. One Amazon reviewer shared of the flip-straw model, “My kids love this water bottle! No one else seems to have it and is always asking where we got it or commenting on how cute it is. The kids love that they got to pick a fun color and I love that it’s leakproof. My daughter does have trouble opening it herself but that’s not a big deal for me. A good find and honestly not expensive at all.” Of the insulated stainless steel water bottle, another reviewer, who got the Carnation Pink (I’ve always loved that hue!) stainless steel version said, “These bottles are so cute!! I can toss them in the dishwasher, there’s no tiny holes to wash, making it super easy. It seems durable, the quality is great! My daughter said everyone at school likes her bottle.” 

Whether you’re gearing up for summer adventures or getting a head start on back-to-school shopping, the new bottles are an easy way to keep your kid sipping throughout the day. And really, you could get one for yourself, too! As one commenter on the viral Instagram post put it, “I need this for meeee not my kids 😂😂😂”
