  • No, they do not. Crayola crayons and markers are packed in random order depending on the manufacturing schedule.

  • All Crayola® Crayons are made with paraffin wax and color pigment. The crayons vary slightly in weight due to the amount of color pigment added to make each color as well as the density of the powder pigment itself. Even though certain color pigments are very light, and others are very dense, that doesn't mean all dark crayons are heavier. Test this in your laboratory by doing an experiment to see which Crayola Crayons float and sink in water.

  • While we don't manufacture a specific sharpener for Crayola Colored Pencils, hand-held sharpeners are the optimal choice for achieving a precise point. We recommend them over electric or crank-style sharpeners. Hand-held sharpeners with dual holes offer versatility for most standard-size and larger pencils.


    Recommended Sharpeners:

    • Standard-size colored pencils: Brass Bullet Pencil Sharpener and Chubby Pencil Sharpener. You can view these sharpeners on the NASCO website or call 800-558-9595.
    • Large-size Write Start Colored Pencils: Helix Hand-Held Sharpener with two holes. Find this product on Blick Art Materials using product code #21401-0100, or call 1-800-447-8192. Some eye pencil sharpeners from beauty supply stores may also work!

    Note: Crayola Color Sticks don't need sharpening, but you can achieve a fine point with any handheld sharpener that has a 15mm opening.
