Here’s an interesting retrospective of Crayola’s packaging through the years at top. The bottom photo features the recent limited-edition set of three boxes with the original graphics of each era of the brand’s history. The one on the far right most resembles what I remember from grade school! Ah nostalgia.

I just added a lot more photos of older packaging that you can see after the jump. Which Crayola box is from your childhood?
