Meaning
A crayon. It stands for children's drawing, colouring and the specific smell of a fresh box of them, which is one of the most powerful nostalgia triggers there is. It appears in contexts about children and art, and figuratively for something done crudely or explained very simply indeed — written in crayon, as the insult goes.
