  • Crayola Jumbo Crayons are easy to hold and hard to break. They're perfect for the little hands of young artists. And their large size means more long-lasting color! Now Jumbo Crayons come in a 16-count pack that includes primary and secondary colors and more, 8 more colors than the original pack!

  • Pressure Variations

    Vary the pressure on a crayon by pressing hard or lightly to create a deeper or lighter color. Vary the pressure in the same scene to create a sense of depth or distance. Use light pressure to create shadows and heavy pressure to create visual dominance.

    Crayon Etching

    Cover a thick layer of crayon with a dense layer of black crayon. Use a paper clip or toothpick to scratch lines through the top layer to reveal colorful layers underneath.

    Crayon Resist

    Color lines and shapes of the artwork heavily, then cover with watercolor or paint. The waxy crayon will "pop" though the painted surface. Experiment with thinning the watercolor with water.

    Texture Rubbings

    Place a piece of paper on top of flat textural materials, such as leaves, a plastic dish or door mat, sandpaper, a screen, netting or latch hook mats. Rub over the paper with the side of an unwrapped crayon. Watch the textures and patterns appear.

    • The basic ingredients contained in Crayola® Crayons are paraffin wax and color pigment. These ingredients are the same for all Crayola Crayon colors, with some modifications in special effects crayons.

        

      Crayola Crayons begin to melt at around 105° Fahrenheit and have a melting point between 120° - 147° Fahrenheit. The melting point is the same for all regular Crayola Crayons; however, the density and amount of pigment included in different crayons will result in varying thickness or viscosity of the mixture.

    • Crayola® Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment. This process is the same for all Crayola Crayon colors. The paraffin wax is melted and mixed together with pre-measured amounts of color pigments.

       

      We purchase the powder pigments and either use individual colors or mix the pigments to produce the many colors of Crayola crayons. The hot wax mixture is poured into molding machines. In about four to seven minutes, the crayons cool and become solid. We manufacture almost 3 billion crayons each year.

    • All Crayola® Crayons are made with paraffin wax and color pigment. The crayons vary slightly in weight due to the amount of color pigment added to make each color as well as the density of the powder pigment itself. Even though certain color pigments are very light, and others are very dense, that doesn’t mean all dark crayons are heavier. Test this in your laboratory by doing an experiment to see which Crayola Crayons float and sink in water.
