Answer and Explanation:
The reddish-brown piece of <u>ochre </u>(natural clay Earth pigment) is thought to have been used 10,000 years ago to color animal skins or produce artwork during the Mesolithic period.
The first, I guess you can say, official crayon was made by <u>Crayola </u>in 1903 by cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith.
The company used paraffin wax and nontoxic pigments to produce a coloring stick that was safe, sturdy and affordable. The name "Crayola” was coined by Alice Binney, Binney’s wife and a former school teacher. It comes from "craie," French for "chalk," and "oleaginous" or "oily."
