What child doesn't love to hold a crayon in their hands?Â But children didn't always have such magical boxes of crayons.Â Before Edwin Binney set out to change things, children couldn't really even draw in color.

Hereâ€™s the true story of an inventor who so loved natureâ€™s vibrant colors that he found a way to bring the outside world to children â€“ in a bright green box for only a nickel! With experimentation, and a special knack for listening, Edwin Binney and his dynamic team at Crayola created one of the worldâ€™s most enduring, best-loved childhood toys â€“ empowering children to dream in COLOR!
