Go outside the lines with these fun ideas that will breathe new life into old crayons.
If you’ve been a parent for a couple years or more, chances are you have a shoebox full of crayons somewhere in your house. Broken, the wrappers ripped off, half chewed by the dog . . . but a crayon is a crayon and you just can’t throw it away. Since Crayola produced its first box of eight crayons in 1903, crayons have been a staple for households with children. Can you imagine playing with children without crayons and paper? According to the Crayola's "History of Crayons," the first box of crayons sold for a nickel and included black, brown, blue, red, purple, orange, yellow and green,. Today Crayola produces more than 100 colors of crayons, as well as those that are scented, glow in the dark, sparkle with glitter and change colors. Here are some ideas for crayons that go beyond coloring books. Crayon Sun-Catcher Window Hanging
