Well, you start by planting soybeans.
Kids are very tuned-in to the welfare of our environment.
Conceived by students at Purdue University as part of an annual contest to develop new uses for soybeans, the soybean crayon is available exclusively from Dixon Ticonderoga. This product is an example of how the soybean and crayon industries help students learn to use their technical education to innovate, create and benefit society. Crayons have been around for nearly 100 years, and this is the first major advance since that time. Like the Statue of Liberty which was imported from France and has become an American icon, the crayon is an American phenomenon. It is very appropriate that we use a renewable American resource.
