Crayola Discovery Limited Edition Crayons

In the year 1997 Crayola came out with the Crayola Discovery Limited Edition crayons. The crayons had six themes:

• No. 1 North American Wild Animals 
• No. 2 Ocean Dive
• No. 3 Space Walk 
• No. 4 Jungle Safari 
• No. 5 Desert Oasis
• No. 6 Bugs 

The crayons came in crayon boxes and then were put in tins. This smashed the flap of the crayon boxes. Some of the crayon tins, the space walk and the ocean boxes contained new crayon names. The others did not. Both of these tins also contained collector cards and fun activities, the others did not. The ocean boxes and the space walk boxes also contained a crayon box called Discovery Limited Edition crayons. I do not know why only these boxes got new crayons names, collector cards and special boxes. The Jungle and Desert boxes contained themed crayons. The North American and Bugs contained select crayons.

I will do the collecting information on each tin separately since there are so many of them. They all have the same UPC number. The crayon boxes used are generic 24 crayon boxes, but the colors in them are not the standard 24 crayons. The tins were made in the years 1997, 1998 and 2000.
