Today is Crayola Crayon Day

Crayola began its life as a company when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over a pigment business in 1885 that Edwin’s father owned. Since then, they have produced a core set of 120 crayon colours; but they have also come out with many unique sets; including metallic coloured crayons, gem tones colours, and even scented ones.

So, why not let your inner child out on Crayola Crayon Day? Find a colouring book and a box of Crayola crayons, and get to work. It’s a therapeutic and enjoyable way to pass some time, and you can even hang your finished picture on your fridge when you’re done.

I'll be very disappointed if any of you end up in A&E having crayon orifice extraction

Never stuffed them io my nose, they tasted pretty lousy though
