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

The Crayola Meltdown boxes came out in 2012. I missed the Crayola Meltdown boxes the first time they were available.  They were only available at Walmart and select Walmarts at that. Sadly, my Walmart did not have them. They were made because melting crayons had become very popular. They are some of my favorite design of boxes. The boxes feature themed colors and melted crayons on the box.

 I thought I had lost the opportunity to get these forever, unless I wanted to pay an arm and leg on eBay.  I bought a few of the boxes at Michaels which came in a Meltdown art set.  I bought it just for those boxes, yes.  A few weeks later I saw that they were available at JoAnn Fabrics and online, even better.  A lot of times collectible crayons are not available online. Crayons are so cheap many stores like Target do not even put some of them on their website.  I immediately picked up the boxes, and an extra set.  I am so excited to have them all.  I LOVE the box design.  And I love the color combinations inside the box.

These boxes started the same year, 2012 as the Pick Your Pack boxes at Target.  It was Walmart's themed box.

Crayola Meltdown Crayons Art Set: What's Inside the Box

Melted crayon art is very popular right now. It is also all over Pinterest.  My art piece features a  silhouette of a figure and all around them is the melted crayons.

In 2012 Crayola produced the Meltdown crayon series and released the crayons at Walmart.  I heard about them, but never found them in stores. I later found them online, but did not want to pay 5-6 dollars a box plus shipping.  I was ecstatic to find that JoAnn Fabrics was selling them this year online and on sale. Double bonus.  I ordered them all.  I also found this Meltdown Art Set box at Michaels.  It only includes 2 unique boxes even though it says 24 crayons.  The art set box is the same as a 120 crayon box.  I took the paint out and put all 12 Meltdown boxes inside.  I love that they can all be together in this very unique looking box.  I put pictures of all the sides just because I was so impressed with the box design.  I can not wait to do some meltdown art with the canvases.  I will not be using the crayons that came with it, but will probably pick up a 96 count box, find the colors from the boxes and do some art that way.  Look for this art project later this year after I get all my collection put up on here :)
