Crayola
Description
Crayola is an American art supplies and creative toys brand founded in 1885 by cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith in New York as an industrial pigment company, later producing the first box of eight Crayola wax crayons in 1903 — sold for just five cents. The Crayola name was coined by Edwin’s wife Alice Stead Binney combining the French word craie for chalk with ola from oleaginous. Now owned by Hallmark Cards since 1984, Crayola LLC is produced using 100 percent renewable energy and offers crayons, markers, coloured pencils, paints, chalk, art kits and toys across 7 confirmed international markets including the UK and Ireland. With recognised manufacturing in England alongside the USA and Canada, and the iconic Campaign for Creativity educational mission, Crayola products are consistent eBay UK and Amazon UK bestsellers with strong demand from families, schools and educators.
