Crayons...

Did you know the average American child goes through 720 crayons before they turn 10? Sheesh - when I was a kid we received the customary box of 16 each year before school and if that didn't last the year we did without. I didn't even get a box of 64 until I was well into fifth grade. :)

Geez. The 2 year old is on her first 8 crayons. 4 year old is still on her first box. I think they'll break the curve. *g* How much would you have to color to use up that many crayons?

I think they would have to color 24/7 to use that many crayons. That said, knowing kids 90% of that is loss and breakage. :)
