That's awesome! I need to get crayons for my Operation Christmas Child boxes. We do them every year and this year our goal is 10 (as a family). I know office depot has them on sale for 25 cents...wonder if this is a better deal....
my human services group in college is doing a "color their world" collection for kinderarten and first graders...nearest toys r us is over 50 miles away...but thanx for the info!

Awesome! I hope they didn't jack the prices up though, you know what I mean? I know that sounds awful, but I see places do that, especially at the grocery store. If I am around one in the next few days though I will check it out and let everybody know! Rosemary goes through crayons like crazy! I don't know where they all go (nor do I probably want to know!).
You can make crazy color crayons by melting a lot of the stubs together (melt a base color and them throw in various stubs), cool in ice cube trays. I'm sure there's directions online somewhere...
I've heard of people pouring them in candy mold trays to make cool shapes, too...

If you are close to box stores like Office Depot or Office Max, check them during September/October. They clearance out crayons and markers after school starts for .10/box. Last year I bought 25 boxes...yeah, I know. Big spender. Colored pencils go for 25 cents for a box of 12. It is one of those deals where you just have to run into the store and check out the clearance rack. In your spare time. haha
