Crayons and Markers

Crayons and markers are often the first writing implement a child ever has their hands on. Both crayons and markers come in a very wide variety of colors and qualities. Some types can be picked up at the local grocery store, and are responsible for the majority of artwork found taped to fridges. Other varieties are of a much higher quality, and are used by commercial artists to create much more complex work.

When was Crayola crayons founded?

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.

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.

How do you remove crayon mark from painted wall or woods?

To remove crayon marks from painted walls or wood, start by gently rubbing the area with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water. If that doesn't work, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste; apply it to the mark and rub gently with a soft cloth. For tougher stains, try using a small amount of rubbing alcohol or white vinegar on a cotton ball, but test it on a hidden area first to ensure it doesn't damage the finish. Always wipe the area clean with a damp cloth afterward to remove any residue.

This suggestion is meant more for washable fabric obviously but if you are careful I think that you can make it work for you. the WD40 is the trick to break it down and the dish detergent is a grease fighter. I wish you well.
