It’s glow time! We have some tips to help you get the best results from Crayola Glow Fusion.

1. The Glow Fusion technology is a marker-paper system. The paper and marker set combined work together to give your masterpieces up to four hours of glow time.
2. Protect your work surfaces. Glow Fusion Markers are not washable.
3. When the markers (activated or not) are not in use, cap and lay them flat in the marker tray to prevent leaking.
4. For the brightest glow effect, use the markers promptly after activating.
5. To activate the markers:
   • Bend the marker barrel at the star points to crack the glow capsules.
   • Shake the capped marker for 5 seconds.
   • Remove the cap and hold the marker tip down until it glows.
6. Turn off the lights to see your art shine at its brightest!

It is difficult to provide an exact shelf life for Crayola products because it depends on how and where they have been stored.  Our products are generally tested on the basis of how they are used, rather than how long they have remained unused.  We stand behind the Crayola brand name and will work to take care of any quality issue you may encounter.

Crayola Sidewalk Chalk is a molded chalk made of Plaster of Paris and color pigments. Although it is designed to be used on sidewalks and driveways, the chalk contains colorants, which may stain clothing and other household surfaces. If the chalk is used on a newly poured sidewalk or driveway, there is a possibility that the open surface pores in the concrete could absorb the colors.

We suggest testing Crayola Sidewalk Chalk in an inconspicuous area and then washing it away with water. In most cases, chalk markings wash away with the first rainfall if used on a paved or poured surface that is more than two years old.

Crayola offers stain removal suggestions as a service to consumers. You can find this information on the Crayola Stain Removal Tips page.

Please bear in mind that while all stain removal suggestions have been tested in our laboratory, results are not guaranteed. We recommend testing any suggestion in an inconspicuous area first.

Crayola® Markers are made with six components consisting of: a color solution, a porous plastic nib, a plastic barrel, a cotton filament (ink reservoir), an end plug, and a cap. Although specific ingredient information is proprietary, most of the color solutions in Crayola Markers are made from water and dyes. Below is the process we follow to make Crayola Markers.

1. Tiny beads of plastic are fed into a molding machine where they are melted and then molded into marker barrels. The liquid plastic becomes solid, white marker barrels in a matter of seconds.
2. Any extra plastic from the molding process goes back into the molding machine to make new marker barrels.
3. The marker barrels are screen printed with the Crayola brand name and most with the color name of the marker. The process is like screen printing t-shirts, where the ink colors pass through a pre-made screen onto the printing surface. Up to 6 distinct colors can be used to decorate the marker barrel at one time! The ink dries quickly as the marker barrel passes through a drying tunnel.
4. The assembly machine lines up the marker barrels in the same direction as they move along a conveyor belt. The end plug and ink reservoir are inserted into the marker barrel, and the color solution is injected into the soft reservoir. The marker nib, or drawing tip, is added to the open end of the marker, followed by the cap. It takes a minute or two for the ink to travel up from the reservoir to color the nib, so the marker is ready to write!
5. The finished markers are placed in a sorter - a machine with separate sections for the assorted colors. A chute drops one marker of each color onto a conveyor belt, creating the colorful assortment that will fill the marker box.
6. A robotic arm opens the flat marker boxes and sends them down the conveyor belt. Another robotic arm pushes the markers into the boxes and closes them. After the assembled markers are packed in large cartons, they are ready to be shipped to stores.
