Bet you didn't know that the Crayola name comes from "craie," the French word for chalk, and "ola," from "oleaginous," which means oily; we sure didn't. Heck, we didn't even know oleaginous was a word! Seeing a need for safe, quality, affordable wax crayons, the Crayola company took this vision and snapped into action, producing its first box of eight Crayola crayons in 1903. More than 100 years later, Crayola crayons and art supplies continue to be mainstays in every child's craft corner, thanks to an unyielding dedication to quality and safety. It's no secret that high quality artwork starts with high quality art supplies; after that, it's easy to set aflame the fires of imagination, just put those crayons to a sheet of paper and create! Celebrate the joy of creativity by making art an everyday part of your family's activities. Crayola crayons and art supplies will help your child's dreams burst to life! For Ages 2 and Up
