Stockmar wax crayons are the leading crayons for Waldorf schools and kindergartens. Their properties are second to none - no crumbling, sticking, smudging etc. These crayons enable excellent color application while remaining nearly break-proof. Made with beeswax and safe, color-fast pigments, children can achieve effects not possible with regular crayons, such as more luminous layering and mixing of colors. The natural beeswax produces warm, well-coordinated color tones. These naturally luminous colors and the pleasant aroma of beeswax make painting a sensory experience. Stockmar crayons will not smear or run. They can be used on most surfaces including parchment, cellophane, wood, fabric, metal, and glass. Block crayons are easily held by small hands. They also offer options for coloring - use the corner for a fine point, or use the long edge for sweeping broad strokes of color.
