Happy Women's Equality Day! Did you know Alice Binney, wife of our co-founder, Edwin Binney, named Crayola? Alice was a schoolteacher with a passion for education and the betterment of children's lives. She coined the name 'Crayola', from craie, the French word for chalk, and 'ola', from oleaginous (because Crayola crayons are made with paraffin wax, and oil derivative). Celebrate all the strong and innovative women in your life! Share this post with someone that inspires you to color outside the line! 🖍 #StayCreative
