Crayola produced its first box of Crayola crayons in the year 1903. The box sold for a nickel, and it included 8 crayons: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black.
Crayola says that the crayon color blue is its most popular color.
Crayola also has a name for the little crayon stubs that are too small to use anymore: Leftolas.
The Crayola company decided to celebrate their 100 anniversary by asking everyone to send in their blue "Leftolas" crayon stubs. They then created the biggest crayon ever: Big Blue. Big Blue weighs 1500 pounds and is 15 feet long!
