How can I apply for a Crayola donation?

USA
 

Crayola's community relations program makes direct charitable contributions to non-profit organizations in our manufacturing areas of Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania, and Warren County in New Jersey. If your organization meets these geographic requirements, please visit Crayolacares.com to submit a donation request. Due to the heavy volume of requests, please allow 4 to 6 weeks for a response.

 
To assist qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or schools located outside our manufacturing area, we coordinate our efforts through Good360, the world’s leading charity in product philanthropy, Kids in Need Foundation, and the National Association for the Exchange of Industrial Resources (NAEIR). Please contact them directly to receive additional information about their eligibility criteria and Crayola product availability.

 

As an alternative, small packages of Crayola Crayons may be purchased by schools and businesses for promotional purposes or to be given as donations from any of the following US suppliers:


Educators Resource - 800-868-2368
Compass Industries - 877-210-1414

    Pro Tips for Washable Paint:


    • For the perfect mixture, add equal parts Crayola Washable Paint and dish soap.
    • Add a pinch of flour to make the paint thicker.
    • Don't forget to protect the area under your window by laying down an old T-shirt.
    • Painting can be done on the inside or the outside of your window.
    • Because soap is used in the paint, your designs will wipe off windows with a wet paper towel. You can follow up with window cleaner for extra shine.

    Q: Are there any tips for painting pumpkins?

    A: Yes, here are a few tips:

    • Water-based products work best on porous surfaces.
    • Water-based products may run or wash off when exposed to moisture, so it’s best to test the paint on your pumpkin first.
    • Allow a little extra drying time for the paint to adhere properly.
    • We recommend displaying your painted pumpkins indoors to protect them from the elements.

    Q: Can I eat pumpkins that have been decorated with Crayola products?

    A: No, pumpkins decorated with our products are not meant for consumption as our art materials are not food-grade.

  • Your Crayola markers may have dried out if left uncapped. Below are some suggestions to help revive them.


    1. Color-Change Doodle Markers:
      • Replace the cap for 72 hours (about 3 days) before attempting to use it again.
    2. Color Wonder Markers:
      • Not water-based and cannot be revived.
      • Try wiping the nib clean, cap the marker, and store with the tip down overnight if left uncapped briefly.
    3. Fine-Point and Ultra-Fine Point Doodle Markers:
      • Cannot be revived as they are permanent marker inks.
    4. Gel Markers:
      • Rub the marker back and forth on the drawing surface.
      • If still dry, replace the cap for 2-3 hours.
      • Alternatively, dip the tip in warm water for about 5 seconds, recap, and wait 24 hours before trying again.
    5. Non-Water-Based Markers:
      • These markers are permanent and cannot be revived.
    6. Take Note! Gel Pens:
      • Tap the tip against paper to engage and disengage the tip until writing comes back.
      • If unsuccessful, the pen may be empty even if some ink appears to be remaining.
    7. Water-Based Markers (Regular, Washable, Ultra-Clean, Dual-Ended Doodle, Washable No-Drip & Project Paint Brush Pens):
      • Dip the tip in warm water for about 5 seconds.
      • Recap the marker and wait 24 hours before using it again.
