Crayons are made by heating wax and adding color dye before placing the wax in molds to dry. While crayons have been used for art since prehistoric times, the Crayola company began mass producing non-toxic crayons in 1903 when cousins Edwin Binney and Harold Smith created them using charcoal and oil. The brand name "Crayola" was developed by combining the French word for chalk "craie" with "ola" from the word oily.
