History of Crayons

The first box of Crayola crayons were sold for a nickel in 1903. The crayons came in a box of eight colours: black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red and yellow.

By 1957, 40 new colours were introduced.

Today there are more than 120 crayon colours, including Atomic Tangerine, Blizzard Blue, Mango Tango, Outrageous Orange, Laser Lemon, Screamin' Green and Shocking Pink.

Over 5 billion crayons are produced each year.
