National Crayola Day (March 31)

According to Wikipedia, Edwin Binney (November 24, 1866 – December 17, 1934) was an American entrepreneur and inventor, who created the first dustless white chalk, and along with his cousin C. Harold Smith (born London, 1860 - died, 1931), was the founder of handicrafts company Binney and Smith, which marketed his invention of the Crayola crayon. (See More)

Bing Search Engine says that then Edwin Binney, working with his wife, Alice Stead Binney, developed his own famous product line of wax crayons beginning on 10 June 1903, which it sold under the brand name Crayola. The Crayola name was coined by Alice Binney who was a former schoolteacher.
