Crayola manufactures Crayola Window Markers which are designed specifically for window decorating. If you’re unable to locate either of these products, Take Note! Dry Erase Markers or Crayola Washable Paint can be a fun alternative. 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.

Spray the window with glass/​window cleaner as you would to wash the window. Then, follow-up with a quick wipe by using a dry towel. You could also use a water-dampened towel and follow-up by wiping with a dry towel. WETTING THE AREA WITHOUT USING A DRY CLOTH WILL SMEAR AND SPREAD THE RESIDUE RATHER THAN REMOVE IT.

Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and colour pigment. Paraffin wax is made especially for Crayola by companies who extract it from products like wood and coal. Pigments come from various sources. They can be natural or man made substances. Pigments can be found in the earth, minerals and/​or made in laboratories. These raw materials are purchased from outside suppliers and are stored in our warehouse awaiting production. All of our raw materials are delivered by truck with the exception of paraffin wax, which is delivered in railroad cars. Further information is considered proprietary. If you need more information, please call us at (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. A representative will be happy to assist you.

Crayola did not invent the crayon. Records show that Europe was the birthplace of the ​“modern” crayon. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. Later, powdered pigments of various hues replaced the charcoal. It was discovered that substituting wax for the oil in the mixture made the sticks sturdier and easier to handle. Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902 and first offered for sale in 1903. Alice (Stead) Binney, a school teacher and wife of co-founder Edwin Binney, suggested the company manufacture an inexpensive alternative to imported crayons of that era. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word ​“craie,” meaning stick of chalk and ​“ola” from the word ​“oleaginous,” meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and colour pigment. The Crayola brand celebrated its 100^th anniversary during 2003 and today we manufacture over 3 billion crayons each year.
