    There is something almost mythic about a new box of crayons. So much promise in a box.

    I remember that feeling, what do I color Magenta? Or Umber?

    Due to a bunch of cheapskates running the district, she probably had to pay for THOSE, too, out of her own pocket.

    Geez, I thought I was lucky when I graduated from 8 to 12. Only the rich kids had 64 in my neighborhood.

    That’s nothing. I have a box of 120! I think there’s even one now that has over 200 colors.

    New crayons. Doesn’t take much to delight a child.

    The box of 48 crayons was the most I ever had; 64 would have been more than my little psyche could handle.

    LMAO! It was always fun to get new crayons!

    When the kids were little, we melted the crayons into molds and they would color with them. ☺️

    My hubs is 67 and often looks longingly at those boxes of 64 crayons -remembering how he always wanted one but his family couldn’t afford the big box. Maybe I need to buy him one for his birthday ;)

    I love the nostalgia in all of the comments.

    BTW, I had a box or two that our kids got from their grandparents, and never even opened them, so I kept them until they had their own kids … and yes it is true … when you give a kid a brand new big box of crayons, they get “that” look on their face …

    64 colors, and in less than five minutes, they will all want the same crayon.

    I vividly recall getting my first box of 64 Crayons and that was 60+ years ago. I can still smell them.

    Is the sharpener built in? I remembered that size did and thought that was the coolest!

    I dreamt of looking for a box of 64 Crayons in a Wal-Mart Store the night before this cartoon was posted in my email box. Ironic… huh?
