About US: Crayon Collection

When my daughter Sofia was barely three years old we frequently visited kid-friendly restaurants where she would receive a pack of brand new crayons. By the end of our meal I would guiltily eye these crayons be dropped into the bin with the remains of our meal. I realized quickly that due to budget cuts in education, children right here in Los Angeles would yearn to have access to these colorful gems. The Crayon Collection was born and since inception we have successfully shifted the wasteful behavior of tossing millions of still good crayons into the trash and instead, we redirect them along with our award winning art education curriculum to the most underserved schools in the United States and beyond our borders. Today, Sofia and I are determined to ensure that every child around the world has access to crayons and creativity regardless of their socio-economic position. We hope you enjoy taking a few moments to learn more about our work and consider introducing Crayon Collection to your community.
