How can I apply for a donation in Canada?

While the marker barrel and cap are recyclable, not all parts of the marker are. Because the marker components are securely sealed during the manufacturing process, we don’t recommend trying to remove the marker nib and reservoir. The marker caps can be recycled at facilities that accept #5 plastic. 

Crayola offers an innovative program called ColorCycle that converts old markers into energy as well as wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles. The process repurposes the entire marker, regardless of the different kinds of plastics or how they are assembled. You can learn more about this program and all of Crayola’s other environmental initiatives at www​.cray​ola​.com/​c​o​l​o​r​cycle.

Crayola Canada’s community relations program supports non-profit organizations located across Canada, with an emphasis on the arts and education.

With the health and safety of our community in mind, the Crayola Canada 2022 Annual United Way Sale has been canceled. Crayola Canada continues to develop alternatives to support the United Way. 

Our experts have a few tips to help your creativity bloom with the Crayola Paper Flower Science Kit. 

For Best Results: 

• Protect clothing & work surface before starting. 
• Wipe water and ink spills immediately. 

Cleaning Tips:

• Rinse and dry all pots, covers, funnels and watering can. 
• Recap ink bottles and markers. 
• Wipe away any spills from work surfaces. 

Looking for refills? 

• Need another bouquet? White coffee filters – they are the perfect alternative to paper petals because they mimic the wicking process of the ink into the paper. 
• Have left over ink? To make your creativity bloom again, rinse the used cores and tips under running water to clean up as much of the ink as possible. Just be sure to wipe up any ink right away and let the cores and tips dry thoroughly. We’ve found this craft hack works best when the ink is fresh and hasn’t had too much time to set.
