Heidi Jo the Artist-It is so hard to pick one favorite, isn’t it!?! I lean towards the purples and blues, and like the Wisteria a lot until you get it on paper, too light! And then I would probably go for violet, indigo, or turquoise blue if I was going to color something. I gravitate towards the cool colors.
When I was a kid, the sea green always stuck out to me for some reason. I really love the whole rainbow of crayons and once I get my hands on some fresh ones, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist taking pictures of them either!!
Lisa-I love these pictures…oh how I love crayons! I think it’s something we never outgrow! Orchid, Green Yellow, Carnation Pink….I could go on and on!
April M -Cerulian, Indigo, and Pacific Blue 🙂 Love the colors – made me smile!
Kerry-Meg, just read through all the comments… PUH-LEASE could you put as a print in your Etsy Shop? 🙂 xx
Laurie -Never mind my favourite colour; I could SMELL those crayons just looking at your pictures! Its been a while since my kids used crayons and your photos just brought my sense of smell to life remembering the days they did!
Anyone else?
Life with Kaishon-I just love new crayons. This year my son didn’t even need them : ( Middle school. I got some any way though. I mean, that smell is divine. And those fresh points…what is not to love.
I think my favorite color is basic green. I love reading all of their names. I LOVE your pictures of the colors. So pretty.
Barbara-This is definitely a post that made me smile.
robin-love your pics…. 🙂
i haven’t gotten a huge box of crayons since i was little (like 25 years ago!)…. but back then, my favorites, together, were spring green and midnight blue! 🙂
hey Meg…can you and Annie (and your other kids, too, if they want :)) sing that birthday song and post it? it’s the one that goes something along the lines of “when you were born the angels sang………..” or something like that? i see posts about it and am really dying to hear the tune 🙂 pleaseeee???? 🙂
Jeanie Rhoades-These are GREAT photographs! Smile-bringers!
Kristin-orange and robin’s egg blue! fun photos. 🙂
Stacy -I used to organize my crayons when I was little. Wait I still do! LOL

Carly Winborne-i need prints of these pics for my sewing/craft/homeschool room. these are amazing!!! i don’t know who would like them more, my children or me!
Wendy -I love it! When I smell a box of crayon, I can remember back to that first day of school. Granted, those were the days when your school supply list consisted of a pencil, a box of crayons and a cardboard pencil box ( I dread getting that list these days). I still to this day love to color and I’m ashamed to say I have my very own box of 64 that my kids can’t touch. Bad mommy! 🙂
Kerry-you guys get Macaroni & Cheese Crayola???!!! My life is complete!! MUST FIND SOME. I like Robin Egg Blue & Mauvelous too. OH I love that they all have names!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
erlfisher -Who doesn’t love new crayons? (oh, the perfect-pointy ends!) And as I tell my kids – please don’t make me choose a color – they are all so beautiful!
lala-cerulean. love, love, love those photos! there is nothing better than a new box of crayola crayons!
alicia @ la famille-school supplies are the best. i could look at ’em and smell ’em all day long.
and turquoise blue and dandelion…they should get married. they’re perfect for each other.
Tam-right now my favorites are turqouise blue and dandelion. I just posted last night about loving the rainbow in every crayola box and the perfectly sharpened tips 🙂 We still have 3 weeks of summer before school starts.
Jill-I’m going to go with Orange and Wisteria today…loving the names of some of the others.
Holly-Spring Green and Mac and Cheese! I love the smell of a newly opened box of crayons.
kat-Oooooooooooh, I love school supplies! I have an entire board dedicated to school supplies on Pinterest.
carolyn-I just have to tell you how much this post made me smile. What is it that’s so magical about a box of crayons? My youngest is heading off to college in 3 weeks so no new crayons in this house … unless I just happen to pick some up for MYSELF! Oh, and I’ll take the turquoise blue please.
Mindy Harris-wow that is a long picture. howd you do that? my fave remains cerluean.

Laura-Wild Strawberry is great! Good choice! I also like dandelion and sky blue.
Danielle H. -I love wild strawberry and robin’s egg blue! I also LOVE the smell of crayons – reminds me of school starting and new beginnings. I also have to keep my crayon tips sharp – no yucky peeled back wrappers for me!
Kimberlee-Well, how fun are you today?!
I’ll take Turquoise Blue.
🙂
Lisa Currie-Gurney-THOUGHT OF YOU THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS TALKING TO HIM… WHAT A GOOD MOM YOU ARE. HOW BLESSED YOUR CHILDREN ARE TO HAVE YOU, AND YOU THEM. THE GENUINE, DEEP LOVE YOU HAVE FOR YOUR HUSBAND, GOD, AND YOUR FAMILY.
