Jenny's Crayon Collection: Jumbo Crayons

1955 Crayola Vintage Green Jumbo Crayons: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Gold Medal Drawing No. 33 Crayons are some of Crayola's earliest attempts at Jumbo/Large crayons. These crayon types were designated by the No. 33 in the title. They were packaged in this box until 1987. They came packaged 12 of the same color. It is interesting to note that the crayons say BINNEY & SMITH CO. while the box says BINNEY & SMITH INC. I think these were made in New York before the company moved to Easton. Now a days the jumbo crayons are made in Mexico.

Alex 12 Count Super Jumbo Crayons

The Alex 12 Super Jumbo Crayons are fun crayons. They come in standard colors and are very strong. They are made especially for young children. We have had several jumbo crayons over the years. These crayons color very well, the colors are bright and produce an even lay down. I am so excited for my kids to use these crayons. And I am excited to add some other brands to my collection, because you know me, I love all crayons.

I received these crayons from Special Needs Essentials for a special post for Autism Awareness Day LightItUpBlue. Check out the post and help make the world blue! This post does not contain affiliate links, but does contain links to their site.

Collecting and Shopping Information

The individual crayons have numbers by the colors which I have not seen with any other brand. It is interesting to note they are not numbered 1-12. Numbers 11 and 12 are missing and 13 and 41 are present. Does that mean that they have that many crayon names? The year of the crayon is also printed on the crayon. I love that they provide this information.

8 Count Crayola Jumbo Crayons: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Jumbo Crayons are designed for little kids. They claim that are "easy to hold, hard to break!" I do not know if I would say this is necessarily the case. I have many broken Jumbo crayons at my house. But I would say that my kids really like these crayons. We really like these crayons because they are easy to color with.

The Jumbo crayons have been made as earlier as 1976 with many in the US, Mexico and Canada. My daughter was at an age where she destroyed all the boxes and took off all the wrappers from all the crayons. I bought this box to add to my collection for my kids not to destroy. This is the only box I have, but I would love to find more.
