As a parent of two boys I am familiar with crayons. As a parent I have over 20 years of experience with them. Twenty years gathering them up to store in a paper box that inevitably always seemed to break on one side or the other. You know how that goes. The box tears and opens on one side. You try to tuck it back in and pretend the box is whole. It doesn’t work and the crayons fall out.
Crayon boxes just aren’t made to hold up well. Kids use them often, as they color often. As the crayons get shorter the kids have to really work to get a crayon out of its spot. The box weakens and inevitably starts to wear out. And of course, when they do hold up they don’t necessarily stand upright. And it’s no secret that crayon boxes are not designed to travel well. Wouldn’t it be great if crayon boxes were sturdy enough to hold together over time? The new ReadyXO Crayon Box is is a new crayon box designed to solve the problem.
ReadyXO Crayon Box is a crayon box designed to stay together as well as remain standing. How does an ordinary crayon box do such a thing? ReadyXO is not an ordinary crayon box. The ReadyXO crayon box is made with molded plastic. This makes the box durable and reusable. The durable material is constructed with an anti-tip design, so using the crayons is enjoyable fun and not frustrating work.
Choosing the color is a big part of coloring. ReadyXO makes selecting that color simple. The walls of the box are a little lower than your traditional box. This allows the crayons to be taller than the sides of the box, making them easier to choose as they get smaller from use. The base of the box is designed with built-in steps so that crayons stand at different heights, making it easier for children to take them out of the box. The clear lid has a “favorite color” spot in the center, allowing children to put their favorite color in a place where it’s easy to find. The lid can also be turned over to create a well, perfect for children to share their crayons with their friends.
The ReadyXO Crayon Box is seeking funding through a Kickstarter project. If you would love to see a crayon box that lets kids enjoy coloring and means less cleanup for you on the market, you can help make that happen. Click here to learn how to support ReadyXO on Kickstarter.

This has to be the best crayon container I’ve ever seen! I love how durable it is, and that double duty lid is great!
What a great crayon container! Finally someone heard all the complaints all of us parents have been making about the other holders!

This sounds like a great crayon container. I love that it is durable for kids.
This is a really neat invention, I am always chasing down crayons and they are always getting too small, this is super cool!
This sounds like the perfect crayon box. It seems like they put a ton of thought into making it convenient.
This looks like a great crayon box! Very durable and easy for kids to get to their favorite color quickly!
Crayons–slong with my doll house, dolls, stuffed Scotty, cutouts, books–sa favorite toy I took everywhere.
Wow, this is a great idea for my son. As he enters the school for the upcoming school year, products like this are really helpful.
This is a good design for a crayon box.
It has a number of good features.
This is a great crayon box, I love this. Looks like a DIY hack for common crayons problem. Thanks for sharing this!
What a clever container for your crayons. This took a lot of imagination to create!
Now that’s a great idea! Who wants to knock all of their crayons out trying to get the short one? I need to add this to my back to school checklist.
This looks like a great crayon box. As an adult, I still love coloring so I will have to check this out.
The box style and shape really does make it easier for kids of all ages (1-100 or more) get the crayon they want. Even the huge crayons have been a pain to keep in order. The ReadyXO Crayon Box sounds like a great gift for anyone who uses crayons.
As a fellow crayon expert, I think this box is great! This should take some of the frustration out of the coloring experience especially for young ones that get frustrated easily.
My kids love to use crayons. I love this design. I will have to get some to check them out.
I’m expecting a lot of pretty drawings with this contest, I hope they publish at least the top picks for general viewing. I love crayons and my passion for it has never ceased since my younger days.
I need this box for me. I still love to color. This works be perfect. No more having to shake the box and turn it upside down to get a crayon out.
