Crazy Crayons

Crayons were originally made in Europe around the 1700s and were imported into this country at a high price. Nowadays, crayons are made in the United states by mixing a few types of waxes, such as paraffin, beeswax, and carnauba wax. The waxes are melted in a huge pot. Workers then add colored powders to make thousands of different shades. Today you can find so many varieties of crayons — basic colors, neon shades, multicolored crayons, and crayons with glitter inside!

Start coloring the path with one crayon. Fill in the whole path from side to side. When you come to a dot, switch colors. Do this all the way to the center.

How many different colors do you think it will take to get to the middle of this maze?

That's A-Maze-Ing!

In 1996, the Binney & Smith Company produced the 100 billionth Crayola™ Crayon!
