Happy National Crayon Day 2025!

March 31st marks the day to honor one of the most beloved art supplies of all time: crayons. Whether you're a budding artist, an art teacher, or simply someone who enjoys a creative escape, crayons are a must-have in any art room or classroom. Crayons have played an integral role in childhood, from coloring books to school art projects, allowing students to express themselves in vibrant ways.

Nothing captures the joys of childhood better than crayons. What better way to celebrate Art 2 the Extreme's favorite crayon holiday than by sharing our favorite crayon gifts for art teachers, students, and creative minds?

Below are 10 unique crayon gifts and art supplies that make great additions to any art collection or classroom (and gifts I would personally love as an art teacher).

Why Crayons Are a Must-Have for Any Art Teacher

Today, crayons have come a long way from their humble beginnings. Modern crayons, like Art 2 the Extreme® Original Rainbow Crayons®, come in a variety of colors, textures, and shapes, making them even more versatile. Whether you're an art teacher planning a new art project, a parent shopping for teacher gifts, or a student exploring creativity in the art room, crayons remain a staple in every classroom.

Crayons are a great addition to any art teacher's supply collection because they offer endless opportunities for students to draw, write, and create. They encourage self-expression and fine motor development, making them a perfect choice for early learners and advanced artists alike.

With options like chunky Crayon Stix® for little hands, personalized crayon gifts for special occasions, and rainbow crayons for a fun and unique twist, there’s a crayon for every need.

Beyond the classroom, crayons also make a great gift for any art lover. If you're searching for the perfect teacher gift, a group gift for a school event, or a thoughtful way to support artists, crayons are a timeless choice.

They pair beautifully with a teacher mug, sketchbook, or a gift certificate to a local art museum, making them a thoughtful and practical option for any favorite art teacher.

No matter how you use them, crayons bring color, creativity, and fun to any space, inspiring both teachers and students to express themselves in new and exciting ways.

Where Can I Find an Easy-to-Hold Rainbow Crayon That Won't Roll Off the Table?

I highly recommend these chunky rainbow Crayon Stix®. They’re perfect for little hands and writing, making them a great choice for early learners in the art classroom. 

As a first-year teacher, I had several students with different needs who struggled to hold a standard Crayola crayon. To support and accommodate their needs, I began molding clay in their hands to create custom silicone molds, hoping this would enhance their ability to write and draw in my classroom.

 

The Crayon Stix® collection was born from this experience in my classroom. I have also found inspiration to create ergonomic crayon styles for children, loved by teachers and occupational therapists such as Art 2 the Extreme's Rainbow Rock Crayons and Multi-Crayon.
