"The average child in the United States will wear down 730 crayons by his 10th birthday (or 11.4 boxes of 64s). Kids, ages 2-8, spend an average of 28 minutes each day colouring. Combined, children in the US spend 6.3 billion hours colouring annually, almost 10,000 human lifetimes!"

"Crayola crayon colour names rarely change. However, there are exceptions. In 1958, Prussian blue was changed to midnight blue in response to teacher recommendations that children could no longer relate to Prussian history. In 1962, the colour flesh was changed to peach recognizing that not everyone’s flesh is the same shade."

Great clip! I love drawing with charcoals and pastels.

How can I not like "fuzzy wuzzy brown"?

My mum showed me how to use the shavings from the crayon (yes I sharpened my crayons) to make more art. Put some wax paper under a piece of paper, strew shavings in any pattern/image as you like, wax paper over that, and iron...the result, almost like oil paints.

i like scrolling the colors up and down real fast...i know i know....infant!

Wow, thanks for the codes!!!! I reposted on myspace. :->

My daughter's fave is Mac n Cheese. I like Tumbleweed and Razzmatazz.

You can also sharpen them, write or draw with glue on paper, then sprinkle and let dry!

I was looking for a list like this a few weeks ago. Thanks, Alan. You can almost always find what you need on Clipmarks.

I can recall the scent of crayons well, almost as well as play-doh; some things you just never forget!

Now I want my own box of crayons!

This brought back some good memories!

omg i was such a sting about the midnight blue crayon to the point where in 2nd grade a kid stole my crayon pack and i found them and stabbed him on the hand with my midnight blue crayon!!! hey in my day there were lots of crayon fights gooodness goodtimes .

and no i didn't play well with others and sharing to my back in kinder garden was a farce!

I just bought colored pencils yesterday. I used to call them grown up crayons

I remember most of these colors. When I was a kid, they came out with some of the weird ones, like Purple Mountain's Majesty.

Nice clip, love it
