Additional Information

The Crayola Drawing Club was operated by Binney & Smith Co., known today as Crayola LLC, and held periodic drawing contests which children were encouraged to enter. Membership to the club required sending in a specific flap from the packaging of a Crayola product as proof of purchase. In exchange, children would receive a membership certificate and a pin like this one. Prizes for winning drawings included crayola products, seasonal items, or cash prizes.
