Two childhood favorites, crayons and cheese, have come together to celebrate the new school year that’s fast approaching in a promotion called ‘Crayola Crayon String Cheese.’ Crayola and Kraft are responsible for this awesome, but temporary product.

Instead of the regular string cheese packaging, your stringy dairy will come in Crayola's signature green and yellow crayon box. Inside the package, consumers will find their cheese wrapped up in different crayon colors. It’s available in both mozzarella and cheddar.

The string cheese isn’t just perfect for home-made lunches, but also for back to school shopping. Consumers will find a coupon inside for three dollars off crayola products. This is especially nice since going to stock up on school supplies can sometimes get pricey.
