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. The Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902 and first offered to sale the crayon in 1903. We manufacture over 3 billion crayons each year.
