The paper helps prevent the crayon from breaking.
and it is a label to help kids learn their colors.

You're very perceptive to notice such a seemingly small packaging issue. Most people don't notice the small parts of such a big picture.
But I'd say it's for the grip factor amd to help keep it from breaking. Yes, the lttle things count but try to focus on the things that make the most difference with the least amount of effort.
If you want to recycle crayons in general, make crayon cookies by taking bits and pieces of crayons that you thought were unusable and put them (mixed colors or you can separate out by color genres) into a muffin tin. Melt them gently in a low heat oven (about 250-300 degrees) until they smooth out into a flat "cookie". Let them cool a while til firm and then pop them out onto wax paper.
The kids love the unpredicatable color factor of using our recycled crayon cookies.

1. It helps kids learn their colors.
2. If your hands get warm, the wax melts and later breaks.
3. It is less slippery to hold.
4. It looks better.
5. The wax can get on your hands without paper, making them sticky and colorful.

If they did not have the paper, the warmth of our hands weakens the wax making it more likely to break.

I guess its because it makes it easier for us to hold- less slippy- this way
