Celebrate World Art Day with Crayola!

Every year on April 15th, artists from across the globe join together in an inspiring fusion of culture and color to celebrate World Art Day. Established by UNESCO in 2019, World Art Day was founded on the principle that art could be an international celebration of diversity, creativity, and innovation, giving artists and craftsmen of all kinds a chance to showcase and share their own unique talents. 

From Japanese Origami to Mexican Huichol beading to Ukrainian Pysanky Eggs, and much, much more, World Art Day is a time when we can all slow down and set a few hours aside with our families to learn and try something creative and new. Who knows? You just might find a new hobby or talent you never knew you had!

Whether you’re supporting local artists at a nearby craft fair or perusing priceless works at the local art gallery or celebrating at home with the ones you love, there’s no wrong way to enjoy World Art Day!

Crayola World Culture 

Just like everything else in our day to day, it’s no surprise that tangible activities like arts and crafts have started to make their way from the physical to the digital space. And as technology continues to evolve, so too can our approach to healthy, effective screentime and digital learning. 

That’s where Crayola comes in, introducing the perfect solution for every child who’d like to express their creativity and celebrate World Art Day to the fullest— anytime, anywhere. Here are some of the crafty, creative options Crayola has to offer:

Crayola Create & Play

In Crayola Create and Play, let your kids loose and watch them explore a colorful world filled with more crafts than they can imagine. A world with fan favorites like endless coloring pages and free draw, but also with activities your kids may have never even seen before!

Cherish each moment as they light their way through secret caverns with illuminating glow art, step into the future to create a picture entirely out of pixels, or try their hand at 3D crafting with rockets, robots, dinosaurs, and more. For young kids just stepping into the world of Crayola, there’s no better choice than Create & Play!


Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets 

Do your kids want to adopt their own pet? How about a litter of pets? What about a whole animal kingdom of pets they can customize and design with one-of-a-kind styles, special effects, and 3D art tools? With cats and dogs, dragons and unicorns, Scribble Scrubbie Pets might just be the app they’ve been waiting for! With over a hundred different furry friends to collect, wash, and color, your kids won’t be running out of arts and crafts anytime soon. 

Test your kid’s culinary skills as they craft a pet’s favorite treat or help them snap some pet selfies as they curate their own photo gallery. Alongside their animal pals, your little ones can explore four unique worlds, decorating them all as they see fit with colorable props and craftables. It’s no wonder why Scribble Scrubbie Pets is the best choice for any and all children whose creativity, fun and friendship run wild!

Crayola Adventures 

As the years pass and you find your kids looking for their next creative challenge, why not try our latest colorful creation with Crayola Adventures?

Adventures is the newest way for Crayola fans to craft, author, and take control of their own original stories. Sit them down in the writer’s chair as they draw original characters, mold and color a litany of props, and lend their writing chops to three unique genres. Once they’re done, all they have to do is, sit back, relax, and watch as it’s all brought to life before their eyes. 

You can even join your little creatives and write a story 100% from scratch thanks to the Adventures Story Builder. It just goes to show, you’re never too old to create with Crayola!

Time to Celebrate! 

As we celebrate World Art Day on April 15th, we can’t emphasize enough the important role that global artistic diversity plays in our own individual creativity. The more we can share with one another, the more our own creative outlook can grow and evolve, giving us new opportunities to try or learn something bold and new, whether it’s French Impressionism, Vietnamese Wood Carving, Aboriginal Dot Painting, and anything else you can think of. 

But if you find yourself on the go with no crafts in sight, or if your kids simply want to try something new, step into the colorful world of Crayola with Create & Play, Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets, and Crayola Adventures! Happy crafting!
