Crayola So Big Crayons

Crayola introduced the So Big Crayola crayon line in 1983. Instead of using standard crayon names they named them with fun names likes birdie Blue, and Candy Apple Red to appeal to small children. They used the strategy of fun names for the Crayola Pip-Squeak markers also. The So Big Crayons were the largest crayons that Crayola had made. It is interesting to note that the 6 count were washable and the 8 count not washable.
