In case you haven’t seen these special packs of crayons, Crayola released the Colors of the World 24-crayon collection back in 2020 on May 21, which was UN World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.
This seemingly small move by a big company helped to inspire husband and wife Beth Ann and Kevin Bligh. Beth Ann, who is a teacher, told Boston’s WCVB how limited art supplies and lack of diverse colors make it challenging for children from different cultures to create pieces that best reflect how they look.
Once the Blighs saw the Colors of the World collection, the couple decided to start asking for donations so they could purchase the new crayons to pack up and send to schools in need. The Crayon Project was born and is growing into a phenomenon.
As of Sept. 24, The Crayon Project sent out its 1500th care package and celebrated the milestone on Twitter.
