Crayola uses two types of label adhesives, water-based and hot melt. To remove Crayola crayon labels, first try soaking the crayons in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Rinse and dry the crayons before using. If this method is unsuccessful, an adult can peel the label off by hand and use a dull knife to scrape off any remaining paper.

Crayola® did not invent the crayon. The "modern" crayon originated in Europe, initially made from a mixture of charcoal and oil, later replaced by powdered pigments. Wax was later substituted for oil, making the sticks sturdier and easier to handle.
In 1902, Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith and first offered for sale in 1903. The trade name "Crayola" was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney, combining "craie" (French for chalk stick) and "oleaginous" (oily).
Crayola manufactures over 3 billion crayons each year, primarily made from paraffin wax and color pigment. Learn more about Crayola's colorful history at Crayola.com.
