Where Our Story Began

Take a look back at the Crayola Factory from 30 years ago...

Colorful beginnings

The Crayola Factory at Two Rivers Landing in Downtown Easton opened on July 16, 1996.

Factory demonstrations

The "Factory Floor" featured a live crayon-making demonstration - a tradition we continue to this day!

Familiar faces

Some of the original items from the Crayola Factory, like the colossal crayon caddy, can still be seen at Crayola Experience today!

Hands-on creativity

Our passion for coloring outside the lines began with creative stations at the Crayola Factory like "Super Sculptures" pictured here.
