Crayola does not control the prices of our products at retail. We sell our products through a network of distributors and retail stores, including brick and mortar stores and online retailers, and recommend they establish fair pricing. Retailers and independent third-party sellers that offer products online through established retail sites can set their own prices and may significantly reduce or increase the cost of a product based on their selling strategy. For example, some retailers will lower their prices on certain products during the back-to-school season to attract customers or compete with other retailers.

Crayola® Portfolio® Series products are generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence. This product line offers the quality of professional art materials without the professional prices. Portfolio Series products include Acrylic Paints and Water-Soluble Oil Pastels. Use our where to buy store locator to help you find local and online retailer for purchasing options. 

Crayola® Crayons are made using primarily paraffin wax and color pigment. While the basic ingredients remain consistent across all colors, variations may occur in special effects crayons.

Our crayons are crafted through a process that involves melting paraffin wax and blending it with color pigments. This mixture is then poured into molding machines where it solidifies in four to seven minutes. For a behind-the-scenes look at the Crayola crayon manufacturing process, watch the video "You've Got Crayola Crayons" on YouTube.

Crayola® and Silly Putty® brand products are sold through a network of distributors and retail stores. Many retailers in your local area carry a variety of our products such as toy stores, superstores and drug stores.
