Identify the text structure of the text below:

Crayons might seem pretty simple, but they've actually evolved quite a bit over time. Crayons probably started to take shape in Europe in the late 1400's. Back then, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci would draw using pastels. These were sticks made of charcoal and oil. In the 1800's, artists began replacing the charcoal with other powders to make new colors for drawing. Later in the 1800's, inventors in Europe and the United States discovered that adding wax could make pastels much stronger. This led to the modern crayon that we use today. In 1903, Crayola made and sold their first wax crayons . They came in a box of only 8 different colors.
