For years, Crayola.com has been a great site to learn about Crayolaโs newest products and shop for the toys, crafts, and coloring items we canโt find in Crayola stores. But we just got word that Crayola is closing their online storefront โ and Monday, May 8 will be the last day you can buy stuff from the site.
The good news? Thereโs a secret sale happening at Crayola.com to send off the old site. Some of our favorite product picks, like the Mini Marker Sprayer, are now 60% off, and you can get 25% off toys, art kits, and easels.

Hereโs everything you need to know:

2. Get 60% off during the Crayola.com secret closeout sale.
To close out the existing Crayola.com website, theyโre offering a secret sale with discounts on various products, giving you the best prices on various Crayola products available right now. Iโm talking like 60% off. Hereโs what you can find:
- Get the Build A Beast 3-in-1 Craft Bundle for $9.74 on Crayola.com, which is 58% less than the current price on Amazon.
- The Scribble Scrubbie Peculiar Pets Rainbow Set retails for $26.99, but is on sale on Crayola.com for $10.80. On Amazon, itโs $25.88.
- The Mini Marker Sprayer is usually $17.99, but you can get it for $7.20 on Crayola.com, over 51% off Walmartโs current price of $14.94.
- One activity we love, the Family Tree Keepsake Craft Kit, is available only at Crayola.com and has been marked down 60%, from $29.99 to $12.
- Outdoor products like Sidewalk Chalk are 25% off, and so are toys, art kits and easels.
Tip: Youโll get free ground shipping on orders of $99 or more.

3. Crayola says theyโre relaunching their website to help people find their products at other stores.
So, why is Crayola shutting down their site? We reached out to them via Twitter to ask whatโs going on, and they gave the following reply:
Colorful changes are ahead! We are transitioning https://t.co/lxSvxxpC7U to showcase a wider selection of available products, with a convenient list of in-stock online and local retailers to help you find your favorite Crayola products. Read all about it: https://t.co/A4YDbQ7aNn

They havenโt said it specifically, but it looks like theyโre going to shift from selling directly to consumers, to getting affiliate revenue dollars by pointing people to various retailers who sell their products.
That said, we love the free printable coloring pages and DIY craft ideas on Crayola.com, so weโre happy to find out that the only thing changing about the website is your ability to purchase items directly on it.
