Description
These bath crayons bring eight bright colours to bath time, each wax crayon held in its own plastic casing with a slider built into the side. The set covers black, blue, green, purple, red, pink, orange and yellow, so there is a shade for every scribble, swirl and star. Each crayon measures 9.2cm long and 1.4cm across, a slim, comfortable size to hold and steer. As the wax wears down, a push on the slider reveals more of the crayon from the casing, so there is no paper wrapper to peel and nothing to sharpen.
We think these are at their best in the bathroom, where an ordinary bath turns into a little drawing session. They are suited to smooth, non-porous surfaces, so glazed tiles around the bath become a ready canvas for flowers, swirls, stars and first attempts at letters. Children can keep a few colours within reach along the edge of the bath and add to the picture as they play. With eight colours in one box, the set also makes a cheerful little present for a child who loves to draw, and an easy way to make the evening routine something to look forward to.
Each crayon is solid wax inside a polypropylene casing, with a plastic slider set into a window along the side, so little fingers hold the casing rather than the wax itself. Each casing matches its crayon's colour, so it is easy to see at a glance which shade is which. Once bath time is over, wipe the casings with a damp cloth and pop the crayons back in their box so the set stays together for next time. For a simple bath-time treat, line all eight up on the side of the tub and let the drawing begin.

Frequently Asked
How many crayons come in the set and what colours are they?
The set holds eight wax crayons in black, blue, green, purple, red, pink, orange and yellow, each in a casing of its matching colour.
What surfaces can these bath crayons be used on?
They are suited to smooth, non-porous surfaces, such as glazed bathroom tiles, which makes the wall around the bath a good place to draw.
How does the slider on each crayon work?
As the wax wears down, you push the slider built into the plastic casing and more of the crayon is revealed, so there is no sharpening to do.
How big is each crayon?
Each crayon measures 9.2cm long and 1.4cm across, a slim size that sits comfortably in the hand while drawing.
What are the crayons made from?
The crayon itself is wax, the casing is polypropylene plastic and the slider is POM plastic, giving each crayon a tidy barrel to hold.
How should I look after the crayons between uses?
Wipe the casings with a damp cloth after use and keep all eight crayons together in their box between bath times, ready for the next session.
