Isn’t it amazing how the smell of crayons can take you back to childhood instantly! When I was little, if you were sick you got a ‘feel better’ box of new crayons and a coloring book. I still buy a box for myself if I’m feeling crummy!

This makes me both panicky and mad on your behalf. My husband would have LOST HIS MIND if this had happened and that would be the end of date nights forever and ever, amen.

While in the moment I’m sure I’d be furious as well, the silver lining might be that Carson and you might be stronger for it. He learned that while bad things can happen, he can survive them – an anxiety vaccination if you will. Knowing what to do when you’re lost is just as important as trying to avoid being lost.

I think I have the exact same tin. The boys have been using it so long now that it has a few dents, some scratches and lots of love. Of course I think it had some of those before the boys took it over. I hope he enjoys his surprise.

In this “antique” collector’s tin, there was also an 8 pack of expired colors! I’ll have to see which ones they were, but they were names like violet blue and yellow green. Poor, retired crayons.

You have an antique! They changed a lot of the color names and I’m such a stuffy old bitty I do not approve. I do agree, though, that the smell of a fresh new box of crayons is delightful.

I’m a little jealous of those, myself. And also feeling guilty about the tupperware container of broken and peeling crayons that’s sitting on our craft table right now. (We *do* have a ‘craft table,’ though, so there’s that!)

There is something fantastic about a fresh new box of crayons! A few weeks ago, my son’s friend was in the hospital because of an allergic reaction. We put together a little care package for him, assembled from items I purchased at Walgreens — including a box of 24 Crayola crayons. His mom said that he was super excited and kept saying, “Wow. A 24 pack!” She reminded them they had one at home, but apparently something about the newness and the number on the box really thrilled him. Had I known, I would have tried to blow his mind with a 64 or 96 pack!
