Is gluten/wheat an ingredient in Crayola products?

Crayola® Dough, Glitter Dots, and Easy Peel Crayon Pencils are manufactured with wheat (flour) as an ingredient and therefore are not considered gluten free. All other Crayola products, including Silly Putty, do not contain wheat or other grains known to be a source of gluten.


Multiple Crayola products are produced in the same manufacturing facilities and on the same machinery. While there is a slight chance of cross-contamination, the machinery used to manufacture Crayola products is cleaned between production runs in a manner that meets or exceeds all regulations.


This does not apply to licensed products, such as Crayola-brand bath, personal care, or food items, which are manufactured by licensing partners. Please check the back of the packaging for manufacturer details or contact us with any questions.

  • 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.
