Have questions about your Color Wonder Magic Light Brush? We have the answers! For Best Results: Always protect your work surface! If your set has a paint pot strip, it must be snapped into the base until it clicks for the Magic Light Brush to operate, with the power switch in the “on” position. – The unit is “on” when the switch is under the l. The O indicates “off”. Check the brush tip to be sure it is tightened. To activate the light brush, hold the brush tip over a single paint pad/pot. Watch the bristles turn the colour of the paint inside. Dip the bristles into the colour you want and start painting on the colouring book page (a thin layer of paint works best). The brush tip will stay illuminated for approximately 10 seconds while it goes from paint to paper. Between each colour change, wipe the bristles with a dry paper towel. Be sure to snap on the paint covers after creating, to prevent paint from drying out. Battery Savers: To help preserve battery life, the Magic Light Brush will automatically turn off after 5 minutes if unused. To reactivate, push power switch to “off” and then back “on”. Turn the power switch off and then on. Need more helpful hints? Feel free to call or text us at 1−800−272−9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time.

Where can I get historical information about your company for a school report?
We are flattered you are interested in learning about Crayola! The company began as Binney ; Smith when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over the pigment business owned by Edwin’s father. Early products included red oxide pigment used in barn paint, carbon black for car tires, slate pencils, and “dustless” chalk. After noticing a need for safe, high quality, affordable wax crayons, Crayola produced the first box of eight crayons in 1903 and sold them for 5 cents. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney. She joined the French word “craie”, meaning chalk and “ola” from the word “oleaginous”, meaning oily. The first box of crayon colours consisted of red, yellow, blue, green, orange, violet (purple), brown and black. To learn more, check out the below sites that Crayola maintains.

Throughout Crayola’s history, several crayon colours have been retired, marking significant moments in the evolution of our vibrant palette.
1990
For the first time in Crayola history eight colours were retired and placed in the Crayola Hall of Fame: blue gray, green blue, lemon yellow, maize, orange red, orange yellow, raw umber, and violet blue.
Eight new colours were added: cerulean, dandelion, fuchsia, jungle green, royal purple, teal blue, vivid tangerine, and wild strawberry.
2003
Celebrating a century of bringing colour to the world, Crayola introduced four new colours named by Crayola fans! To make room for the new hues, we bid farewell to blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue.
The four new colours that were introduced are: inchworm, jazzberry jam, mango tango, and wild blue yonder.
Kudos to our hue heroes – the consumers who voted in the “Save the Shade” campaign, ensuring burnt sienna stayed in the pack.
2017
To mark National Crayon Day on March 31st, we announced Dandelion was leaving the pack. To honor this iconic colour, we sent Dandelion on a retirement tour to his favorite places. His replacement, Bluetiful, was announced on May 5, 2017.

Get the best results with these tips for cleaning your Scribble Scrubbies Pets.
Scrub Under Running Water:
- Gently scrub your pet under running water after play. Use the scrub brush to help release the marker inks from the tiny fibers (flocking). Do not wash your Scribble Scrubbie Pets in the dishwasher or bathtub.
Allow to Dry:
- Allow your pets to dry before a second use. Colouring on damp pets can cause the ink to wick under the fibers, making the colour harder to rinse away. Let your pet air dry before storing it.
Soaking for Stubborn Stains:
- If colours persist after scrubbing under running water or have been on your pet for several days, consider soaking it in water for 20 minutes. For stubborn stains, an overnight soak may be necessary.
Additional Tips:
- Fresh colouring is easier to clean. Soap has little effect on cleaning your pets. Fresh colouring typically requires a rinse under the faucet, while concentrated colouring may require light scrubbing under a faucet or an overnight soak.
