ORLANDO, Fla. - Crayola is looking to reunite adults with their childhood artwork!
You might have seen billboards put up in the Orlando area depicting elementary school students' artwork from the past. The art supply company is looking to connect with the now-adults who created the artwork back in the day.

"In partnership with Clear Channel, Crayola will showcase artwork created in the 90s and early 2000s by Orlando area youth in hopes of reuniting the pieces with their owners. Each piece has been stored at Crayola’s headquarters as part of the company’s former Dream Makers program," according to the press release. "The pieces started running last week across 14 billboards in the area and will be active in the market through the end of this week."
