When most of us hear the word Crayola, we immediately picture a familiar yellow box and a pile of broken crayons at the bottom of a drawer, or you might think of their 5 Crayola Experience Attractions that bring colors and creativity to life. Crayola has grown into so much more than crayons, colored pencils, and markers! Today, Crayola is about creativity, confidence, and giving kids space to express themselves—and that’s exactly what Crayola Creativity Week is all about.
Through initiatives like Crayola Creativity Week, the brand focuses on fostering creative thinking, self-expression, and social-emotional growth in children. This global event encourages students to build confidence skills that extend far beyond the art table and provides educators and families with accessible tools that encourage imagination, problem-solving, and student voice.
Here’s everything parents, caregivers, and educators need to know about Crayola Creativity Week 2026, including how to sign up and how to participate at home or in the classroom.
