The first crayons were marketed by the American company Binney & Smith in 1903. They introduced a product called "Crayola," which combined the words "craie" (French for chalk) and "ola" (as in oily). This innovative product quickly gained popularity and became a staple in schools and households, leading to the widespread use of crayons for art and creativity.
The first box of Crayola brand crayons, introduced in 1903, cost just 5 cents. This box contained eight crayons and was marketed towards children, making it an affordable and accessible art supply. Over the years, Crayola has expanded its product line significantly, but that initial price remains a notable part of its history.

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.
the first 'modern' crayons originated in Europe. No one knows who first invented them, but they were probably made of a mixture between charcoal and oil. The first crayons had no color, they were all black (due to the charcoal). Eventually, powdered pigments were used to give the crayons some color! Many years later it was discovered that it was better to use wax than oil, as it made the crayons a lot easier to use.
