Why are multiple languages appearing on Crayola products and packaging?

At Crayola, we recognize our products are globally used by kids and kids at heart. We now offer multiple languages on some products and packages. The languages are English, Spanish and French. This is a growing movement in the United States and is very common in many countries around the world. Next to English, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language in the United States; French also ranks high, with the majority of the population in Quebec, Canada speaking the language. We believe this is a good educational benefit for children to learn different languages by using products they work and play with every day.
