Update: This charity has been overwhelmed by the need and can no longer fulfill requests. They have no affiliation with Crayola and this article has been updated in response to their wish that we no longer send people to their website.
In case you haven’t heard by now, Crayola released Colors of The World products which allows every child to feel included and accurately color using the different skin tones of the world. And one company wants to help bring these products to classrooms across the nation.
In fact, (no longer available) Teachers And Educators Can Receive Free Colors of The World Crayons. Here’s How…
How Teachers Can Receive Free Crayons
The charity is a non-profit organization that was founded to focus on the small act of buying multicultural crayons, markers and colored pencils for schools and non-profit organizations they were familiar with within their local community.

Now they are expanding their reach and giving teachers and educators across the nation a chance to receive these projects.

All you need to do is head over to the Request Form and complete it.
Step 2 – Review Process
Once you submit your request form, a team of volunteers reviews the submission and awards schools and non-profit organizations upon review.
Step 3 – Approval Notification
Should you be selected, they’ll be in touch so be sure to provide your best contact email!
Every Color in the World Represented
Isn’t this just amazing?
The best part is, there is no cost to a school or organization! Thankfully, all care packages are paid for in full thanks to the generosity of donors giving teachers access to these amazing products at no cost.
Make sure you spread the word to all the educators in your life!

Even if you are not a teacher, you can get involved in this really cool project by donating money to the cause.

We teach our children to the best they can no matter their color. All nations matters.
Love this! So true! Everyone matters!
Except “across the nation” does not include Australia
I’m sorry, Vanessa. The organization that does this is only able to ship within the USA.
I teach fourth grade and would love to have these.
Hi, Kimberly! There is a link to the organization in the post. Definitely reach out and see if they can help you! Good luck!
I have a child care and it is incredible to be able to transmit to children the art of creating and representing our ideas. My program is diverse and multicultural since from early childhood we must include them. Excellent support project for children. I would love to be able to access this benefit.
