Where can I buy Crayola Crayons and Markers in bulk and individual single colours/​sizes in Canada?

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. 

If you have additional questions, feel free to call or text us at 1−800−272−9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time.

Crayola® Crayons are made using primarily paraffin wax and colour pigment. While the basic ingredients remain consistent across all colours, variations may occur in special effects crayons. 

Our crayons are crafted through a process that involves melting paraffin wax and blending it with colour pigments. This mixture is then poured into molding machines where it solidifies in four to seven minutes. For a behind the scenes look of the Crayola Crayon manufacturing process, check out our video, You’ve Got Crayola Crayons.

Get the best results with these tips for cleaning your Scribble Scrubbies Pets.

Scrub Under Running Water: 

• Gently scrub your pet under running water after play. Use the scrub brush to help release the marker inks from the tiny fibers (flocking). Do not wash your Scribble Scrubbie Pets in the dishwasher or bathtub.

Allow to Dry:

• Allow your pets to dry before a second use. Colouring on damp pets can cause the ink to wick under the fibers, making the colour harder to rinse away. Let your pet air dry before storing it.

Soaking for Stubborn Stains: 

• If colours persist after scrubbing under running water or have been on your pet for several days, consider soaking it in water for 20 minutes. For stubborn stains, an overnight soak may be necessary.

Additional Tips: 

• Fresh colouring is easier to clean. Soap has little effect on cleaning your pets. Fresh colouring typically requires a rinse under the faucet, while concentrated colouring may require light scrubbing under a faucet or an overnight soak.

Have questions about your Color Wonder Magic Light Brush? We have the answers!

For Best Results:

• Always protect your work surface!
• The handle will light up and cycle through all the colours. When that is done, press the bristles in the middle of the paint pad for a few seconds. The handle will temporarily light up the colour of the paint. Brush the bristles against the paint pad several times. An invisible layer of paint will stick to the bristles. Brush onto Color Wonder Paper and watch the colours magically appear! 
• Between each colour change, wipe the bristles with a dry paper towel.
• To store the unit, snap the cover on to protect the colour pads. Since the paint pads will not dry out, the cover does not need to be airtight and replacing the paint pads is not necessary. The paint pads are securely sealed in the unit during the manufacturing process and not removable, so we do not recommend attempting to remove them. 

Battery Instructions:

1. Use Phillips screwdriver to loosen 2 battery cover screws on battery compartment.
2. Insert three (3) AA alkaline batteries. Ensure All 3 battery nibs (+ ends) face to the LEFT — see image below.
3. Replace battery cover & tighten the screws.

Battery Savers:

• To help preserve battery life, the Magic Light Brush will automatically turn off after 5 minutes if unused.
• To reactivate, push power switch to ​“off” and then back ​“on”. Turn the power switch off and then on.

The right paint makes all the difference! Although all three types of Crayola® paint products are water-based, they aren’t all created alike. Check below to see what type of paint will work best for your next masterpiece. 

• Crayola Portfolio Series™ Acrylic Paint and Crayola Acrylic Paint is permanent and somewhat lightfast on many different surfaces. They are generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence.
• Crayola Premier™ Tempera Paint is permanent on paper surfaces. One coat coverage is all you need! It is generally used by adults and older children because of their permanence.
• Crayola Tempera Paint is generally used by older children. It is an excellent choice for educators due to its superior mixability and blending of colors. 
• Crayola Artista II® Washable Tempera Paints offers the same superior mixability and blending of colours as Crayola Tempera Paint, but in a formula that is washable from most launderable clothing and skin. 
• Crayola Washable Paints are typically used by younger children because of their washability from most launderable clothing and skin. They are neither permanent nor lightfast.

While there are currently no plans to hold a United Way sale, Crayola Canada remains committed to supporting the United Way and continues to explore alternative initiatives
