The first Crayola crayon box was created in 1903 and the first Crayola marker box had eight different colors in it — and look at all the options we have from Crayola now! We’re celebrating Crayola CIY Craft Month with a look at the Crayola craft recipe website and a week full of colorful giveaways!

Crayola.com/crafts is a place where kids can go to find ideas and inspiration for hundreds of crafts projects. Each project features a list of supplies needed, step-by-step instructions with photos, and a helpful video tutorial. With projects like a Paper Bag Star, a Cardboard Dinosaur, a Raindrop Suncatcher, a Paper Easter Egg Wreath, Chalk Unicorn Wall Art, Clothespin Shark Puppets, and Flower Handprints, there’s something for every interest and skill level.

You can learn all about the website and get inspired by some phenomenal arts and crafts projects during our #CrayolaCraftMonth Twitter Party, sponsored by Crayola, on Friday, March 18 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET! Get ready for an hour full of fun, trivia, and giveaways with exciting prize packs. See what you can win below!
