FAQ

  • Our experts have a few tips to help your creativity bloom with the Crayola Paper Flower Science Kit.


    For Best Results:

    • Protect clothing and work surface before starting.
    • Wipe water and ink spills immediately.

    Cleaning Tips:

    • Rinse and dry all pots, covers, funnels, and watering can.
    • Recap ink bottles and markers.
    • Wipe away any spills from work surfaces.

    Looking for refills?

    • Need another bouquet? White coffee filters are the perfect alternative to paper petals because they mimic the wicking process of the ink into the paper.
    • Have leftover ink? To make your creativity bloom again, rinse the used cores and tips under running water to clean up as much of the ink as possible. Just be sure to wipe up any ink right away and let the cores and tips dry thoroughly. We’ve found this craft hack works best when the ink is fresh and hasn’t had too much time to set.

  • Most of our color names are taken from a book called "Color: Universal Language and Dictionary of Names," which was published by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. We use this reference guide because everyone sees and expresses color differently. Using the Universal dictionary as a base, we can refer to a standard color system and color names. Many crayon names are also borrowed from traditional artists' paints. In addition, we have asked consumers, through various promotions, to help name crayon colors. To learn about any future color naming opportunities, please register to receive our newsletter at Crayola's newsletter signup page.

  • Crayola® Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment. This process is the same for all Crayola Crayon colors. The paraffin wax is melted and mixed together with pre-measured amounts of color pigments.


    We purchase the powder pigments and either use individual colors or mix the pigments to produce the many colors of Crayola crayons. The hot wax mixture is poured into molding machines. In about four to seven minutes, the crayons cool and become solid. We manufacture almost 3 billion crayons each year.

    Is Color Wonder Safe?

    • Just like all Crayola products, Color Wonder is nontoxic. To learn more about the safety of all Crayola products, visit the Crayola Product Safety page.

    What makes Color Wonder different from Washable Markers and Paints?

    • Color Wonder inks and paints are clear, and colors appear only on special Color Wonder paper. Kids love to watch the colors magically appear, and parents love the fact that Color Wonder inks and paints will not appear on skin, walls, or carpet.

    What Color Wonder products are available?


    Can I reuse my Color Wonder Paper?

    • You cannot reuse the same piece of Color Wonder paper twice.

    Q: Are there any tips for painting pumpkins?

    A: Yes, here are a few tips:

    • Water-based products work best on porous surfaces.
    • Water-based products may run or wash off when exposed to moisture, so it’s best to test the paint on your pumpkin first.
    • Allow a little extra drying time for the paint to adhere properly.
    • We recommend displaying your painted pumpkins indoors to protect them from the elements.

    Q: Can I eat pumpkins that have been decorated with Crayola products?
