16 Count Holiday Crayola Crayons: What's Inside the Box

Crayola came out with a whole holiday set of products in the late 90's early 2000's. I have the holiday markers, but I do not have the 8 count glitter crayons. This 16 count Crayola Holiday crayon box contains 8 standard crayons and 8 metallic crayons. Metallic crayons came out the year before in 2000. They were called the Holiday box because of the inclusion of the metallic crayons, that were slightly glittery. Other than that the colors are pretty standard, not only reds, greens, silvers and golds. The markers only contain reds and greens.

Crayola 8 Count Boxes

Here are the classic 8 count Crayola boxes. The 8 count box has been around for over 100 years, with the first box appearing at the 1904 world fair in St. Louis. The difference between the two boxes shown below is one of them, the one on the left is a tuck box and the one on the right has a hanging tag at the top. For school one year my daughters back to school list specified a 24 count tuck box. I had no idea what a tuck box was until then. But now I know.

Crayola Promotional 4 Count Boxes: What's Inside the Box

Crayola makes promotional boxes for different reasons. Sometimes they are for promoting a contest or event like Dandelion's retirement, samples of new crayons, a themed set like this one from 2014 or company sponsors. The Construction Paper crayons, Gel FX crayons, Washable crayons and Metallic crayons. These crayons were given out as samples of new crayon boxes around the same time these boxes were debuted. The Construction Paper crayons came out in 1998, the Gel FX crayons came out in 2001, The Metallic crayons came out in 2000. These boxes were probably given out to promote those crayons.

Crayola 24 Colored Pencils: What's Inside the Box

Crayola classic colored pencils have been around for years. This set is ideal for teachers and parents. The size of the box gives enough variety while still maintaining an inexpensive price point. I have two other boxes that I've had for years and I will post them soon. This box is from 2016. The colors in the colored pencils have not changed, but the design on the wood has. It has always had gold lettering and the names on the individual pencils which I love.

I received this box from Crayola in exchange for an honest review, this blog post contains affiliate links.

10 Count Crayola Color Wonder Markers: What's Inside the Box

We love Crayola Color Wonder at my house. We have the Planes, Cinderella, and a Mess Free coloring pages coloring books. I also just got some Crayola Color Wonder On the Go to review which I will be posting about in a few days. Color Wonder Mini Markers are markers that only color on color wonder paper. They react with the paper to produce a color, but only with this paper. The markers do no make a mess on anything else. Earlier today my son was coloring with them and had the coloring book over his blanket. All of the sudden he said, "I got some marker on my blanket". I told him that the color does color on his blanket. He seemed to believe me after a while. I think these will be a staple at our house for a while.

International 24 Count Crayola Crayons: What's Inside the Box

Crayola has been making International crayon boxes for a long time. I think the earliest international boxes in Crayola's history were made for Canada. They have expanded to all over the globe. These are two international boxes that I have, I hope to get some more someday, but for now these will have to do. These boxes come from Japan and Canada.

The Canadian box is in celebration of 25 years of Staples in Canada. For this promotion Staples ran a contest flying people to the Staples Center in Los Angeles and awarding them with money. I love how Crayola works with companies to promote special events. I know there is a Target box out there somewhere that I would love to get my hands on. The 24 is in silver lettering. There is nothing on the back that is any different for the celebration.

It is a good thing the bottom of the Japanese box is in English, because other than that I can not understand anything on the box. Most of the box is written in Japanese. I will have to find someone to translate it for me. I would love to know what it says.

It is interesting to note in the code numbers instead of a 52-****-0 it is a 52-****- J for Japan or C for Canada. This is how Crayola designates international boxes within the company. The contents of the boxes are exactly the same as far as colors are concerned.

Crayola 100 Colored Pencils: What's Inside the Box

Overview and Review

The 100 count Colored Pencils box is a big deal for Crayola. It is very exciting because it contains the largest selection of colored pencils Crayola has ever made!

Up until now the most colored pencils that have been available were 64 small colored pencils and were not named. The biggest box with named long colored pencils was a 50 count box. The 100 count box along with Crayola Escapes 72 count colored pencils is ideal for people that want lots of colors from Crayola.

The new colors that were added to the 100 count box are:

Brick Red, Jazzberry Jam, Ruby Red, Coral Reef, Cantaloupe, Sizzling Sunset, Light Orange, Heat Wave, Orange Circuit, Harvest God, Unmellow Yellow, Daffodil, Lemon Glacier, Palm Leaf, Olive, Arctic Lime, Granny Smith Apple, Fern, Spring Frost, Shamrock, Tropical Rainforest, Absolute Zero, Blue Bolt, True Blue, Wild Blue Wonder, Cornflower, Outer Space, Indigo, Blue Violet, Purple Heart, Plum, Purple Mountains' Majesty, Lilac, Royal Purple, Red Violet, Mauvelous, Razzle Dazzle Rose, Pink Flamingo, Winter Sky, Tickle Me Pink, Blush, Fiery Rose, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Cocoa, Copper, Antique Brass, Khaki, Almond, Apricot, Beaver, Dark Chocolate, Timber Wolf, Warm Gray, Ash

The following colors were removed from the 100 count box: gold and silver. Why? I have no idea, those are fairly popular colors.

Be very careful when picking the 100 count box in the store. The only box that really contains 100 different colored colored pencils, is the box that says "100 different colored pencils". If it says "The Big 100", it only contains 60 different colored pencils.

Top 10 Essential Crayola Back to School Supplies

Back to school is fast approaching. I was so excited when Crayola sent me a box of supplies to review. I included some of the ones they sent me and added some of my personal favorites. Here is my list of my top ten Crayola back to school items to help you navigate the Crayola aisle at the store. There is an added bonus of the number one teacher item from Crayola. I was surprised to see what it was. My background is a preschool teacher and a mother of two little ones, a girl age five and son age three.

24 Count Crayola Crayons: What's Inside the Box

How is it that this website is almost a year old and I have not posted about the 24 Crayola Crayons boxes? I honestly do not collect as many "normal" boxes as specialty boxes. If I had all the space in the world or a museum where people could come and see all these boxes I would totally collect, but since I do not I usually buy these kind to color with or I see a box design I really really like. I have put all the crayon boxes side by side, the fronts, backs, crayons and bottoms (when applicable). From 2012 to 2013 not a lot changed, but a lot did from 2002 to 2012.

Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers Color MAX: What's Inside the Box

In 2014 Crayola came out with the Ultra-Clean Washable Markers ColorMAX. I love washable markers and would recommend them all day. My son usually colors with them and when he is done I grab a wet paper towel and wipe it up. That easy. I like all the different assortments of colors in the Bold, Bright, Classic and Tropical colors. The best time of year to get these is during the Back to School sales. They are so much cheaper.

Crayola Broad Line Markers: What's Inside the Box

Crayola has had broad line markers available for forever. I love collecting markers, but they do not last forever and I have had to throw them away. I bought these when Walmart was having their back to school special. These markers are not waterproof. I was surprised to look on the back and find out they were not. Sometimes washable markers are not specified on the front like the Powerlines markers, but these ones have a stain advisement on the back. I definitely will not let me children use these ones because I do not want them to stain anything. They may be useful for people that want a more permanent type marker.

Crayola Aged Up Adult Coloring Colored Pencils and Fine Line Markers: What's Inside the Box

Crayola came out with a new line of adult coloring books and pencils and fine line markers in 2015. Crayola advertised their large color escapes cases, 25 dollars, a little pricey for me. They did not advertise this line of "Aged Up" colored pencils and fine line markers. I stumbled across them in Target and Walmart. I grabbed them up because I loved the packaging. I love the white and colors and the vibrant colors. I also loved the dual-ended colored pencils. I have a packaged called blenders that I will post soon. They are some of my favorite colored pencils. I think the pencils in that box were closely related, a shade darker or lighter, but these ones are opposite colors that will go together well when coloring.

I also stumbled across this handy dandy chart of how to make different colors with the colored pencils on Crayola's website. Check it out, you will not be disappointed. I can not wait to use the tips.

These fine line markers are not washable, there is a stain advisement on the back of the box. And another by the way, the name Aged Up is not on the package, but is what they are called on Target's website.

20 Count Crayola Super Tips Markers: What's Inside the Box

I got these 20 count Crayola Super Tips markers as a gift. The fine tip markers are my favorite markers, and Super Tips did not disappoint. Sadly I let people use these markers and they got lost. This is not the first box of Super Tips, I know they came out around the late 90's or early 2000's. An one thing that super bugs me that I say every time is these markers are not labeled with color names. That drives me crazy.

10 Count Crayola Mighty Marks Markers: What's Inside the Box

I found out about the Crayola Mighty Marks markers on Instagram. Instagram is a very useful tool to find out about new products out on the market. There are people that will find them and then post them for the rest of the world to see. I have gotten a couple good "dollar" store finds this last summer that way. I was able to collect the entire series of Pip-Squeaks in Disguise for a fraction of the cost, one dollar a piece instead of four dollars a piece. I found these markers on someone's feed. And it turns out they got them at Dollar General. I have never been inside a Dollar General before. It was so fun to venture in. They had a lot of Crayola products there that had been miniaturized to accommodate the lower cost. I stopped myself from buying everything. These markers were not a dollar but two dollars a piece. They a fine tip marker, way cute and small, a lot smaller than I thought. They are barely big enough to fit the Crayola logo on the marker. The really cool thing about them is they have all the specialty sets, neon, gel and scented.

I love everything about these markers, the boxes are really cute and feature the color names, something I love. The neon box only contains 8 unique color names because the blue and the pink are repeats. How hard would it have been to throw in two more colors?

8 Count Crayola Crayons: What's Inside the Box

I got this 8 count Crayola box of crayons from a friend. It was missing a few colors, but I found out which ones it came with and was able to borrow a few colors from another set to make a complete set.

One of the cool things about this box is the style number appears on the bottom flap of the box. I have not seen style numbers before the 1960's, but I could be wrong. I would love to see more 8 count boxes from this time period to see precisely when Crayola started using the style numbers. It does not have a code number.

10 Count Crayola Classic Fine Tip Markers: What's Inside the Box

I know I say this a lot, but the Crayola Classic Fine Tip Markers are really one of my favorite Crayola products. I love the Fine tip markers and probably have about 5 of these boxes I love them so much. I used to write everything with them. I love how they just glide on a page, but produce a very thin line.

I love Crayola markers, but I do not collect them as much because they have a shorter shelf life than other Crayola products. The ink dries up. The collecting world does not collect them either and sadly there is not a lot of history on the Crayola markers. I hope to alleviate this problem with everyone's help, find all the boxes of markers out there and have a database with all the box names and marker colors.
