In 1900, prior to the introduction of Crayola® Crayons, we produced black marking crayons. These crayons were created with dry carbon black and different waxes. Today these are known as Staonal® brand Marking Crayons and are used in many industrial settings.
The first box of Crayola Crayons was produced in 1903 as an 8-count box. It sold for a nickel and contained the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black. We provide extensive information about Crayola and our products at Crayola.com. Click here to view the History of Crayola Timeline.
