    DID YOU KNOW?
    That
    More than 5 billion crayons are produced each year

    More than 100 billion crayons have been produced so far. The first crayons consisted of a mixture of charcoal and oil. In the early 1900s, Edwin Binney and Harold Smith developed a nontoxic wax crayon. Binney's wife, Alice, attached the French word for chalk, craie, with "ola," from oily, to form the Crayola name.

    The first Crayola crayons came in a box of 8. By 1957, 40 new colours were introduced. Today there are more than 120 crayon colours. Over 5 billion crayons are produced each year.
