Product Information

Crayola® Triangular Anti-Roll Crayons guide little fingers into a tripod writing grip for controlled drawing. The texture is close enough to Cray Pas Specialist that you won't be far off in techniques you can use with more expensive brands, and it's almost impossible to take them too seriously and choke up on whether you'll get it right.

They may be a very good choice for signs and posters where lightfastness isn't an issue but covering large areas with bold color could otherwise cost a lot. Schools specify the Crayola brand on supply lists to reduce arguments about sharing when children bring in lower quality supplies. They blend well enough to allow good mixing experiments and Crayola does include both warm and cold primaries and secondaries in this lineup -- Crayola products are always good for demonstrating color theory.Like most oil pastels, they do drop a lot of crumbs, so you have to be careful about getting one colour in an area of another colour where you don’t want it. CRAYOLA COLORS: 25 Cylindrical Oil Crayons in each color, including White, Yellow, Red-Orange, Red, Pink, Rust, Violet, True Blue, Blue, Yellow-Green, Green, and Black. More mature young artists will love the variety of Crayola colors and pointed tips for detailed drawings and subtly blended shades. The smooth texture makes it easy to put down heavy layers of colour and they blend fairly easily when you rub them with a finger; not as easily as artist grade oil pastels I’ve used, but certainly better than the Faber-Castell Creative Studio oil pastels I reviewed at the start of the year. The oil pastels are not especially large but go a long way and have a really good set of usable colors.

These funCrayola® Oil Pastels lay down bright, vivid opaque color that blend to true secondary colors, which are perfect for any arts and crafts project. These come in 16 color and 28 color packs or in a classpack with 24 each of 10 colors and 48 each of black and white. My daughter wanted me to remove the paper coverings so that she could slide the whole pastel along the paper.Nothing invites childlike creativity so much as having copious cheap supplies that you know are a child's supply and don't have to worry about wasting. The Portfolio Series Oil Pastels Classpack (300 count total) contains 12 assorted colors, 25 of each color. This certainly held true for the oil pastels, which have a medium texture as cheap oil pastels go, only average crumbliness and a good color range in the 28 color set.

These jumbo-sized Oil Pastels are designed for kids with a hexagon shape that prevents them from rolling off tables or desks. ORGANIZED STORAGE: Crayola Oil Pastels are separated into individual sections by color in the organized storage box.Sticks are thick and hexagonal with a crayon-point cone tip and could probably be sharpened in an extra large crayon sharpener. OIL PASTEL COLORS: Pastel colors include Red, Pink, Orange, Peach, Yellow, Yellow Green, Green, Blue, Violet, and Brown.
