![]() ![]() Some of the lettering was built sideways, some upright, and some using a combination of both. I would constantly refer to the pictures to see were I would need to construct lettering for the box (the wording is not identitcal on the front and back).įortunately I had oodles of green and yellow plates with which to work.Ĭonstruction the various texts proved to be quite challenging but fun. Mostly 2x2 yellow and green bricks were used (no glue). ![]() I had pictures of each side of the original box, so I just picked an appropriate width (102 studs) and started to build upward. The construction was very straightforward. so I decided to only build the heads of those crayons). Using the Peeron Inventory website to get the piece quantities, I calculated that I would need 5 such buckets to build the 'heads' of the purple and orange crayons (of the 8 crayons built, all but the black crayon would been 'in the box' with only there tips showing. Of course, violet (purple) and orange are not the most common LEGO brick colors, but fortunately LEGO has recently been selling a bucket of bricks that includes those two colors (set number 7837). it appears they now sell a box of 16 instead). These were all hues I could build out of LEGO bricks (to be honest, at the Crayola Website I could not even find a box of eight crayons for sale. Plus the text on the box was much more straightforward (though at the time I was still not sure whether I could construct all of the words).Īlso, the older box of 8 crayons used the following colors: black, brown, orange, violet, blue, green, red and yellow. Such a box was only two colors: yellow and dark green. At that size I was afraid that I might not be able to incorporate all of the text that is on the outside of a box of crayons (there is much more than the familiar words 'Crayola Crayons').Īfter some discussion it was decided that I would build an 'old style' box of Jumbo 8 crayons. Originally I had hoped to build a box that would tower as tall as 7 feet high, but due to budget and time constraints this was reined in down to a more managable size of about 3 feet tall. I was a bit concerned because the Crayola Boxes of today are covered with much fancier graphics and fonts than the boxes of years past. It had been a long time since I had handled a box of Crayola Crayons, but I certainly had strong memories of the 'box of 8' and the 'box of 64' (which had the crayon sharpener built into the base). ![]() The Strong Museum in Rochester, New York asked me to build such a model for their exhibit of the National Toy Hall of Fame (of which both LEGO and Crayola are entrants). I suppose few things rival LEGO colorfulness more than a box of Crayola Crayons, so it's fitting that the former is used here to build the latter.
