Crayola has been a beloved brand for over 100 years, bringing color and creativity to generations of children. The company began in 1903 when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith introduced the first box of Crayola crayons, containing eight colors and selling for a nickel.

The name "Crayola" was coined by Edwin Binney's wife Alice, who combined the French word "craie" (meaning chalk) with "ola" (from oleaginous, meaning oily) to create a name that would become synonymous with colorful childhood creativity.

Over the decades, Crayola expanded its color palette dramatically. In 1958, the iconic 64-count box with built-in sharpener was introduced, becoming a milestone in many children's lives. Today, Crayola produces over 120 crayon colors and has expanded into markers, colored pencils, paints, and other art supplies.

This ornament celebrates the nostalgia and joy that Crayola products have brought to countless childhoods, transforming the familiar crayons into a whimsical playground that captures the imagination and creativity that Crayola has inspired for generations.

This charming ornament brings together two childhood favorites – playground equipment and Crayola crayons – in a delightfully imaginative way. Artist Orville Wilson has transformed ordinary crayons into a colorful playground where a snowman and teddy bear can play.

The design features vibrant crayon colors arranged to create playground equipment including:

• A slide made from brilliant primary-colored crayons

• A swing constructed from various crayon colors

• A playground base created from additional crayon elements

The teddy bear and snowman characters add a whimsical touch, suggesting that even in winter, the joy of play and color continues. The ornament celebrates both outdoor play and artistic creativity – two essential aspects of childhood development and imagination.
