Many first works of art are created using simple colored wax sticks called crayons. These art tools are such a part of our modern lives, that we take them for granted, but up until the late 1800's and early 1900's, crayons were expensive and difficult to obtain. On today's quest we are going to look into the fabulous history of crayons!
