In reply to the discussion: Friday Art Quiz! - Cray-zee Over CTYankee [View all]jberryhill

My wife has suggested, and it seems to proven out here, that there generational differences in crayon memories.
We went to school when schools were actually funded, and the year didn't start with a shopping list for parents.
There was no "trading" of crayons, because the crayons - of assorted colors and whatnot - belonged to the school. These would be kept in cigar boxes (yes actual boxes that formerly held cigars) which was at that time a common household item, coffee cans (which were pretty large back in the day), and so on, and distributed with random colors and conditions of crayons in them.
Are school art class supplies no longer community items across the board?
