Every year, Crayola gives away 1 million crayons in celebration of National Crayon Day. For four years now, Crayola has offered free 32-count boxes of Crayons at each of their five locations in the U.S. However, you do need to register for the voucher that is valid March 31 - May 23, 2025 (limit two vouchers per household). And we recommend doing so soon because registration is first come, first served (and quantities are limited by location and day). In fact, some dates are already no longer available.
Once you have your free crayons, check out our school supplies stock-up price list.
