Wah! I did not know this, but it IS! As I just found out about this and am at the library, I have no crayons to scribble this post with or do a fast sketch to post. On the other hand, I do just so happen to have an old piece I did on my deviantArt page that LOOKS as if it was drawn with a crayon, so here you go. Anyway, time to get learned a little!
Here’s some handy info for you fresh from the fine folks at Crayola:
Did you know…
– The first box of Crayola crayons was introduced in 1903. It sold for a nickel and included the same eight colors available today: red, blue, yellow, green, violet, orange, black and brown.
– Crayola produces nearly 3 billion crayons each year, an average of 12 million wax sticks daily. That’s enough to circle the globe 6 times!
– The average child in the United States will wear down about 730 crayons by his or her 10th birthday (11,464 boxes or 7 lbs of crayons) enough to cover an NBA basketball court!
– According to Christian Science Monitor, parents buy enough crayons in a year to make a giant crayon 35 feet wide and 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty!
So, yeah, let the kid(s) get away with that wall decorating to-day. Who knows, you could have the next Van Gogh “ruining” your formerly freshly painted walls or other surfaces!
