The Origins of Crayola® Crayons\nNoticing a need for safe, quality, affordable wax crayons, the company produces the first box of eight Crayola® crayons, selling for a nickel in 1903. The Crayola name, coined by Edwin Binney's wife Alice, comes from "craie," the French word for chalk, and "ola," from "oleaginous." \n\nSince 1903, when Binney & Smith introduced the first Crayola crayons, people have been fascinated with the history of the color names. Read on (at the site below) for a list of 120 core crayon colors and the years when they were first introduced, along with discontinued colors and names that have changed over the years.\nPlease see the site below for reference and for additional information

just print out lots of color stuff until the old pinkish colors fade\n\nGot to agree thats an amusing gambit

I know they had some flying toys as kids - i.e. rubber band helicopter sort of things. Also it was sort of a craze at the time, google early aviation history or equivilent and you should be able to find some videos and other info.

I would start with the basics, counting to 10, recognizing colors and some shapes, etc.  Also how to use crayons and simple things like that.  They will learn the rest.  Also, you may want to make sure the child is okay with sharing, authority figures besides the parents, etc.

The first lipcolor on grease base (and the color came of a snail the purpur snail) was used by french nobility during the reign of Louis the 14th. \n\nThe first mechanical lipstick was manufactured in 1920. you find the entire history of the lipstick in Jessica Pallingtons Book "Lipstick." You'll also find useful information about lipsticks and cosmetics in "10,000 years of Fashion" by Francois Leon Lois Borcher.

we learned about ink in the good old days, circa 2500 BC. Back then, ink was comprised of various colored juices and exotic extracts including alizarin, indigo, pokeberries, cochineal, and sepia. \nMuch later, in 1772, the first patent was issued in England for making colored inks. In the 19th century, chemical drying agents appeared, giving rise to a wide variety of pigments. Then things got complicated \n\nAt the beginning of the 20th century, ink-making became a complex chemical-industrial process. The manufacture of modern ink takes into account dozens of factors, including "color, opacity, transparency, brilliance, lightfastness, surface hardness, pliability, wettability, purity, and odourlessness." Goodbye, sepia! Hello, methyl alcohol! \n\nInks for low-speed letterpress printing (the process usually used in book production) are made up of of carbon black, a heavy varnish, and a drier to reduce the drying time. Most pen inks incorporate those three main ingredients in different ratios. Intaglio (i.e. -- cartoon) inks are composed of petroleum naphthas, resins, and coal-tar solvents. \n\nTHE COMPONENTS OF INK \n\n(pigments , vehicles , solvents , drying agents , and additives)\nWhatever use an ink is put to it is always made up of certain components. The two main components are the colouring matter, which leaves a visible mark, and the vehicle, which permits the pigment to be tranferred onto a surface. The colouring matter may be either a pigment or a colour. Pigments are solid substances ground to a powdery consistency which are usually insoluble. In the past pigments were made from mineral and animal substances but at present they are chemically synthesized. Colour, on the other hand, is soluble in water, alcohol, or other fluids and can be considered a kind of tint. Colours are often derived from vegetable substances.\nA vehicle is the substance mixed with colours or pigments which are hard to work with alone. Most vehicles are made up of several components, each component serving a particular purpose. Thus binders are used to link and homogenize the particles of pigment. Various types of binders exist such as gum and water mixtures, emulsions, oil, and any other substance having a certain consistency and which can give some body to the ink without weighing it down. When combined with a binder the pigment becomes smoother and can be ground or mixed into a paste. This pasty stage can be achieved with varying degrees of ease depending on the materials used and, in fact, one speaks of the "wetability" of a substance to indicate the amount of binder it can absorb.\nThe resulting paste can be lightened, spread, or softened by adding a diluting agent. Diluting agents (which are often confused with binders) can be as simple as water. Other common diluting agents are cellulose base liquids and oils. The role of the diluting agent is to forestall an excessive viscosity and, at least in theory, to evaporate during the drying process and disappear entirely. The diluting agent must not be confused with the solvent whose task it is to dissolve a dry subtance. However, a solvent can be used both as a diluting agent and to dissolve, as is the case when white spirit is used on nil base inks. On the other hand, the two functions may also be separate. Thus a water base ink is diluted with an emulsion of oil and water but it is dissolved with acetone. Whereas a diluting agent is usually specific, a variety of solvents can generally be used. In practice, however, the diluting agent is often called a solvent.\nThe major problem encountered by a printer once he has finished printing his work is the drying process. In order to activate the natural oxydation of oily inks, ink makers usually add drying agents when grinding their pigments and when mixing their paste. It is also possible (in certain cases only) to intervene when printing by adding accellerators or retarders which expedite or slow up the drying process but whi

You could do a presentation about their art. There is quite a bit information and pictures on the site listed below.

Wow.  You're asking a lot of questions about toys.  Thinking of Christmas or reminiscing??  I think that game is still around.  A lot of the older games and toys are making a comeback.  But luckily with the internet, whatever you want you tend to get now.  You just gotta know where to look.  :)

To see if the crayon you shoved up there when you were three finally came out.

I don't usually either, but this year for some reason I'm more in the mood to start now.  Maybe cuz I don't want to rush at the last minute, and I keep seeing everything they have out in the stores already.  I bought one thing so far, my daughter likes the crayola color wonder books and markers, and I saw a little travel size one I never saw before.  I thought it would be handy, and snatched one now before I never see them again cuz there were only a few of them.

Check their website... it should be under the history section.
