My sister

Tell your sister that your kids didn't steal the crayons. She shouldn't accuse your kids.

It can be very hard when we have children and they have arguments with our friends or siblings children. But it is something that you have to leave between your children, as the two of you don't want to fall out over it. Children always fall out about little things but they will then be friends again before you know it. It won't be the same with you and your sister, as adult arguments don't work like that, so you have to be careful not to fall out with her. If your children didn't take anything then they shouldn't have to give their crayons to your sister's child, so you should maybe get them some more as they didn't deserve to be punished for things that they weren't responsible for.

That is sad, how could your sister accuse your kids stole her daughter's crayon. Could she prove it or she just make assumption because your kids has crayons too? It is so bad when someone accuse us or our family member stealing something when we did not do it, if your kids did not steal her daughter's crayon why do they have to lose their crayons? It might hurt your kids especially if they did not do it. What if the cousin's crayons were not stolen, what if she just misplaced it somewhere, some kids are being careless and she make fast assumption that the crayons were stolen. I know you are a good person and you try to solve this problem the best you can, but I hope you talk to your kids and ask them if they really did not steal the crayons, they did not deserve to be punished for something they did not do.

I think you did the right thing so to avoid any more issues with your sister. But what made her think your kids stole her daughter's crayons?

First you have to be very sure your kids didn't do this. You know your kids best though and will know if they're being truthful. If you feel that they are then you shouldn't punish them by giving away their crayons. I think that will just teach them to lie about such things thinking they will get something they want. Parents always want to believe their kids are telling the truth which is probably why your sister is making the accusation. She has to be sure it isn't her child that is being dishonest. But if you're sure you should put your foot down and not cave in to those demands. That's just me though :)
