Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902.The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. It was discovered that substituting wax for the oil in the mixture made the sticks sturdier and easier to handle.

There is no "one year" that can be established for the invention of the crayon. Encaustic crayons go back to the Greeks. Modern crayons can be traced back to the mid 1800s. THe first commercial crayons available in the United States came from companies like Eagle Pencil, Franklin Mfg. Co, Milton Bradley, Dixon Ticonderoga, Standard Crayon and Prang. These were all available between 1876 and 1900; several years before Crayola was invented. Europe had crayons from Germany and France going back into the mid 1800s as well.
Crayola crayons have been around for over one hundred years and first came to market in the year 1903. They were superior because of their bright colors, their cost and their coverage on paper.
