120 colors. Remember,if you saw someone with a 64 pack plus the sharpener,you thought they were rich.

[@robertgronewold3326]

That was me as a kid. My family was very poor, but my mom would always get me paper and crayons. When it came to her kids, she always had priorities. haha

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

​@@robertgronewold3326same! When I was little I would use construction paper and crayons to write my mom "I'm sorry" notes when I acted up hoping to get her mushy enough to forget about punishing me since the main punishment was no McDonald's on the weekend. 😂

[@dafnabreyette1891]

Yuhhh I remember having that crayon tower that had a sharpener in the middle! It collapsed too so it didn’t take up that much space! Eventually after drawing with them for a bit- we got a crayon maker kit where we would melt down crayons to make new ones in different colors! This was yeeeeears ago tho:3 but I remember having it!

"Crayola makes the best crayons in the world. Let's take a look at how Rose Art does it though."

[@Lady_dromeda]

I know right, its so weird. I think the one mister rogers showed was Crayola when he did a “how it’s made” segment on his show

[@DeathyAS]

What’s weird is it you looks it’s both Rosa art AND Crayola being made depending on the video segment supposedly in the same factory on the same lines in a supposedly dedicated Crayola Factory. Was this AI generated? Any human would know that Rosa art crayons and crayola crayons are COMPLETELY different. Different textures, different pigment payout, different feel, different owners. Like I knew the title card was ai generated but I wasn’t expecting the video itself to be.

[@savannah115]

Yeah, I thought we were heading to Pittsburgh for the Crayola factory.

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

Definitely! And then if you've got the $$, Prismacolor colored pencils are where it's at, if you prefer colored pencils. I like watercolor pencils myself. All you do is draw what you want on the paper, then use a small-to-medium sized, dampened paintbrush to get the watercolor part of things going. It's a great way to introduce yourself to watercolor painting without buying the 7-color "school kid's palette" or a bunch of tube paints you might not ever use if watercolor turns out not to be your jam. 😅

That’s what I came to say. Pencil crayons also. Such poor quality now.

No offense to either of you, but IS ANYTHING OF HIGH QUALITY THESE DAYS?????????????

I'm so glad you wrote this observation. I wondered if it was my imagination that Crayola from the 1960s had a softer more spreadable texture and a richer pigment? I think Prang's are very good too! There are Soy formula crayons now that are biodegradable. They are very soft.

Probably artist grade, if that is in crayons. @@HannTheftAudio
