Pencil crayons. (And marker, which is different than a felt tip pen).

We always had to have Laurentien brand pencil crayons in our school supply kits and it was a Canadian company so I thought maybe they started the pencil crayon name. I’ve just looked at vintage packaging and the are clearly labelled coloured pencils.

In the US, I refer to them as colored pencils & Crayola Twistables as pencil crayons (to distinguish them from the standard Crayola wax crayons). IMHO crayon is pronounced with two syllables ("cray-on"), felt-tip pens are a writing utensil, & markers are for coloring.

I’m in Canada.
I used and my kids use now in school:
Cray-one Pencil crayons
I used felts My kids use markers. These 2 items are the same.
Pencil crayons are (and were when I was in a school) the number one way teachers ask for artwork done.
My kids are told to use pencil Crayons and outline with fine liners. They are marked on keeping their stroke in the same direction throughout each colour.

I'm a teacher in Australia. We call them coloured pencils, the waxy paper coloured ones are crayons (although you can buy twist up ones also) - definitely only pronounced cray-ons. I have never heard anybody say it with one syllable!
And while I have heard of people using the term felt tip pens, we usually call them textas.
I live in South Australia though - maybe people in other states/territories use different terms. We say grarfs for graphs- In Queensland they say grafs! My daughter spent several terms there when she lived with her father and came home with lots of new pronunciations!

Coloured pencils.
Wax crayons (definitely two syllables).
Felt tip pens.
Marker pens. A marker is a felt tip but a felt tip isn’t necessarily a marker.

I am an art teacher in Ohio.
I've never heard of pencil crayons before. They are definitely colored pencils here. Do Canadian ones say "pencil crayons" on the box? Crayola markers are called markers. The only time I've heard the term felt tip pen was when I was little and referred to a very thin marker. I call permanent markers Sharpies, even though the ones I use are Bic or Amazon brand. The kids know what I mean and it is a lot quicker to say than permanent markers.
I pronounce crayons several different ways, oddly enough. The pronunciation I use the most sounds a lot like cran. When I think about how it is spelled I do try to say cray-on, but I guess I get lazy. Every once in awhile the kids get in an argument about how to say it. It tends to be split 50/50 on how they say it.
The kids keep their art supplies in a drawer, which I tend to pronounce like drore. I'm still not sure what the correct pronunciation of that is.

interestingly enough DD14 informed me recently that crayons is a one-syllable word pronounced crowns not the two-syllable word pronounced CRAY-ons that I've always heard and said. I really think it's a regional thing. I say cray-ons. My husband says crayns. I don't even know how to type it out the way it sounds! my friend calls them more lile cry-ons.

Surprisingly, the packaging all says coloured pencils. Laurentien pencil crayons were a standard supply for us in school and it was a Canadian company but I’ve looked at vintage packaging and they are clearly labelled coloured pencils. But if you search “pencil crayons” in Walmart.ca, you get a list of coloured pencils. Walmart knows what we are talking about 😊

yes, always called them pencil crayons - on every school supply list when i was a kid! we also had wax crayons but in our mind, totally different. and laurentian was the standard.... interesting little tidbit about a related artwork installation at a condo development in toronto.... emerald city art quote from the artist: The bright and vibrant colours used on the pylons are a playful nod to the Laurentian pencil crayons that were a part of so many Canadians childhood.
“We all know these colours so well from our youth,” said Coupland. “The colours depict a friendly familiar landscape that speak to a universal experience of growing up in Canada.”

No. Even the Laurentien ones which were Canadian-made and a staple in every student’s pencil case were labelled ‘Coloured Pencils’ (I had to Google and check). We just never called them that.

I grew up in Indiana and now live in Arizona with a grade school age child. This thread is the first time I’ve heard “pencil crayons” used instead of “colored pencils”.
