Is there anything better than a brand new box of crayons to start off the school year? I think not! Sometimes I buy a brand new box just for me, and keep it hidden so my kids can't use them.

Posted by: Dawn | August 17, 2011 at 09:49 AM

very neat photos! I like Orchid, Sea Green, and Melon!!

Posted by: Alice H | August 17, 2011 at 09:51 AM

You should sell that as a print on Etsy! So pretty! I could see framing it and putting it in our arts supply area.

Posted by: Leah | August 17, 2011 at 11:17 AM

Sea Green all the way. Followed somewhere down the line by Salmon.

Posted by: Jenni Bailey | August 17, 2011 at 11:24 AM

Posted by: Natalie | August 17, 2011 at 11:38 AM

Is there anything better than a new box of crayons?! I haven't had one of those in years...yellow green & plum...favorites! I just got off the phone with the teacher I work with. I get to go to school on Friday to meet the new kids and write their names on all their brand new crayons! :)

Posted by: Terrie G | August 17, 2011 at 11:40 AM

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the photos! Awesomeness!!

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!

Posted by: Danielle H. | August 17, 2011 at 12:56 PM

Wild Strawberry is great! Good choice! I also like dandelion and sky blue.

Posted by: Mindy Harris | August 17, 2011 at 02:23 PM

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.

Posted by: carolyn | August 17, 2011 at 02:24 PM

Oooooooooooh, I love school supplies! I have an entire board dedicated to school supplies on Pinterest.

Posted by: kat | August 17, 2011 at 02:31 PM

Spring Green and Mac and Cheese! I love the smell of a newly opened box of crayons.

Posted by: Holly | August 17, 2011 at 03:02 PM

I'm going to go with Orange and Wisteria today...loving the names of some of the others.

Posted by: Jill | August 17, 2011 at 03:05 PM

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.

Posted by: Tam | August 17, 2011 at 03:06 PM

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.

Posted by: alicia @ la famille | August 17, 2011 at 03:23 PM

cerulean. love, love, love those photos! there is nothing better than a new box of crayola crayons!

Posted by: lala | August 17, 2011 at 03:26 PM

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!

Posted by: erlfisher | August 17, 2011 at 03:27 PM

Nothing is better than new crayons!!

Posted by: Katie | August 17, 2011 at 03:45 PM

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Kerry | August 17, 2011 at 04:12 PM

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! :)

Posted by: Wendy | August 17, 2011 at 04:42 PM

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!

Posted by: Carly Winborne | August 17, 2011 at 04:50 PM

Oh you can't beat a freshly cracked box of crayola's. Hmmm forest green, red plum ... oh so many I could go on!!! Lovely post!!!!

Posted by: se7en | August 17, 2011 at 04:57 PM

Posted by: Laura Phelps | August 17, 2011 at 06:41 PM

Periwinkle all the way

Posted by: Elizabeth Gleason | August 17, 2011 at 06:59 PM

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???? :)

Posted by: robin | August 17, 2011 at 11:04 PM

This is definitely a post that made me smile.

Posted by: Barbara | August 18, 2011 at 12:58 AM

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.

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?

Posted by: Laurie | August 18, 2011 at 09:08 AM

Meg, just read through all the comments... PUH-LEASE could you put as a print in your Etsy Shop? :) xx

Posted by: Kerry | August 18, 2011 at 09:15 AM

NICELY DONE! Kelly

Posted by: Kelly | August 18, 2011 at 11:38 AM

Cerulian, Indigo, and Pacific Blue :) Love the colors - made me smile!

Posted by: April M | August 18, 2011 at 01:14 PM

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!

Posted by: Lisa | August 19, 2011 at 12:52 AM

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!!
