Edwin Binney had created this "black crayon" in a sense. It was called Stayonal = "Stay on all" and they used to mark boxes for shipping. It sold so well with other companies that they had the idea to test more with the product.

At the time they also had made a new type of slate school pencil and when at the schools they noticed that the kids needed something to color with. So they took the idea of Stayonal (made of wax) and made it smaller, less toxic, and changed the pigment color.

Edwin Binney and Harold Smith got the idea for the Crayon from a candle stick maker Named Britt Sloan in the village of Evanston Wyoming in 1852. Britt Sloan was the Son of Gene Sloan one of the first to make desiger candles for the presidential White House. up to that point they had all been made of white wax. After some creative thinking Gene Sloan found a way to make the candles all kinds of colors. After over coloring a few candles the White House staff became upset at the mess the candles made. However the Presidents children Cray Fillmore and his sister Linda found the candles pieces they found in the trash quite useful in coloring the walls of the White House. Edwin Binney then took the idea and made smaller round versions and this is where we got the Crayons. Britt Sloan sold the wax coloring rights to Harold Smith and wished he never had.

Who invented Crayola markers?

Crayola did not invent the crayon. Records show that Europe was the birthplace of the "modern" crayon. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. Later, powdered pigments of various hues replaced the charcoal. It was discovered that substituting wax for the oil in the mixture made the sticks sturdier and easier to handle. Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902 and first offered for sale in 1903. Alice (Stead) Binney, a school teacher and wife of co-founder Edwin Binney, suggested the company manufacture an inexpensive alternative to imported crayons of that era. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word "craie," meaning stick of chalk and "ola" from the word "oleaginous," meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment.


When was the Crayola crayon invented?

Binney & Smith, the company that created and sold Crayola crayons actually started from one of the founder's uncle who started a small chemical company in 1864 in Peekskill, PA. Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith would eventually take over that business and move their factory to Easton, PA and set up a headquarters in New York City. They didn't invent the Crayola brand of crayons until 1903, a year after they invented a black marking crayon for industry under the Staonal brand name. In June 1903 they began selling the Crayola brand through a number of different boxes and color sizes ranging from 6 colors to 30 colors. Their original palate of colors were 38.
