This wasn’t just any big crayon though. It was in a special edition Crayola color entitled “Very Hungry Caterpillar Green to honor Eric Carle’s celebrated children’s book which celebrates it’s 40th anniversary this year (Carle himself celebrates his 80th this year). Icecream and cake were served to accompany the regular sized versions of the crayon gifted to attendees.
