Gnome Stories and The Crayon Initiative

The Colorful Gnome Stories and IHop Canton, Mi are collecting crayons for The Crayon Initiative.
Join us in recycling used crayons. The Crayon Initiative takes the old used crayons, melts them down, and then recreates new crayons to be given to children in the hospital. The want to bring some happiness to children facing the stress of a hospitalization.

Thank you Kelly. I have always had a soft spot for any child that has to be hospitalized. Also I love to see the younger generations being creative.

That's beautiful, Duane. I'll see if anyone wants to participate. But it will be next week before I can. I have this Festival this weekend.

I love this! I feel like when I was a kid it was completely acceptable to use the school supplies you had the previous year again if they were still good. Nowadays, kids are using devices for much of their learning and yet seem to need a new pack of crayons, new pack of pencils, scissors, etc every year. So wasteful in a day and age when we’re supposed to know better. Anyway, hello to you from the other side of the mitten. :-)

Greetings. Yes unfortunately everything has to be new each year and we just throw away the old. That is one reason why I really like this recycling project and hope to educate others to do the same.
