I noticed that no one else has written about crayola washable crayons and thought I would be able to tell you about these crayons.
In New York in 1899 Edward Binney and his cousin C Harold Smith owned a factory that made shoe polish and printing ink. They produced slate pencils for schools. In 1902 they had developed a non toxic colourful crayon and crayola crayons were born. A box of 8 coloured crayons cost 1 nickel.

I am sure a lot of you will have used crayola crayons. The washable crayons are very similar to the wax crayons I used as a child. I am not sure if they were washable then. If your child is over zealous in their crayoning and marks the table or the wall you can clean the crayon of by rubbing with a wet soapy cloth, this is usually successful and marks are removed. The marks do not come off a porous surface or a textures surface so well.

The crayola large washable crayons come in a pack of 8; they also come in a pack with 16. . The packaging an orange yellow card box with a window so you can see the crayons through it a picture of a crayon on the pack and some bubbles floating across the pack. The word washable is there too. Each crayon has a paper wrapped around it with the colour on it and the word washable printed on the wrapper, that’s good so they do not get mixed up with standard crayons.
On Amazon an 8 pack is £1.48


The pack of washable crayons comes in bright colours. I am not sure how many colours are available could be 16.
Overall in crayola crayons there are 120 colours available with names such as mango tango, jazz berry jam, and jungle green over the years some colours had the names changed to be politically correct, special edition packs are sometimes released like the glitter crayons.. The colour selection I have received is good with a range of colours across the rainbow.

These washable crayons are ideal for those first masterpieces. The crayons are fat and chunky ideal for inexperienced little hands.
One thing you can be reassured about is if your child like nearly every other young one eats, sucks, chews the crayon it is not toxic.

These crayons are good and the bright colours encourage thier childs art. Your child will draw you many creative pictures to stick up on the wall do make sure you put them the right way up though as you do not want that picture of granny standing on her head (unless granny does stand on her head to amuse your little one)


Children love to put things in their pockets don’t they? If your child has been using these do check their pockets as they make a pretty mess in the washing machine.
Yes I would recommend these crayons for any child either at nursery or at home. Have fun drawing alongside your child. Thanks for the read Mary

Summary: good early use crayons
