New York —

Whisper Soft Mills has unveiled six bedding concepts for its new Crayola home license, which will debut in its showroom at the October New York Home Textiles Market.

The colorful new collection features an interactive theme and will be gift packed in a mesh duffle bag with a comforter, sheet set, decorative pillow and box of eight crayons for fourth-quarter shipping.

The six new designs include two girl beds: Crayola Butterfly and Crayola Fairytale; and two boy patterns: Crayola Dinosaur and Crayola Sports. The last new pattern, Crayola Pockets, comes in a version for girls and another for boys. Sheets are 200-count cotton.

Crayola Butterfly has a crayon-drawn effect and features appliqués that Velcro on to the comforter. Crayola Fairytale features glitter in the pattern and comes with two markers. Crayola Dinosaur has dinosaurs that look like molded clay and two dinosaur pillows with sound chips, while Crayola Sports features a three-sport pack-back design with pockets that hold three soft balls inside and a ball-and-mitt pillow with markers. Crayola Pockets is a cut-and-sew bed with art pockets that hold various items that is meant to teach colors.
