Crayon Day : Craft Fun and Facts

 Welcome to my Krafty Home. 

March 31st
Each year, on March 31st children and adults alike, pick up their favorite colors for National Crayon Day. Opening up a box of crayons opens up a world of imagination and hours of fun. Wax and chalk-based crayons have been used by artists around the world for centuries.
What was the first crayon color?
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.

New Color : Bluetiful

Crayola announced the name of its newest blue crayon selected by Crayola fans. Bluetiful emerged as the winner after an online vote. This hue of blue is inspired by a new pigment, YinMn, that was discovered by scientists at Oregon State University, according to Crayola.
