Description
These wooden crayons come as a set of six, each a chunky stick of colour with a natural wooden barrel and a coloured wax tip. The shades are black, red, blue, green, yellow and pink, and every crayon carries two bands of its own colour near each end, so a child can pick out the one they want at a glance. Each crayon is 12cm long and 1.4cm across, a generous thickness for little fingers to hold, and the set comes with a blue jumbo sharpener to keep every point ready for use.
We see them on the kitchen table, in the playroom and in the craft drawer, anywhere young artists settle in with a sheet of paper. The six shades cover the essentials for skies, grass, sunshine, flowers and bold outlines, while black gives crisp lines for writing names and finishing a picture. The compact sharpener measures 4.5cm by 2.5cm by 2.1cm, so the whole set tucks easily into a pencil case, a school bag or a travel bag for car journeys and rainy afternoons. They make a cheerful choice for children who love to colour, and a handy spare set to keep at home or on holiday.
Each crayon pairs a smooth wooden barrel with a wax tip, and when a point wears down the jumbo sharpener brings it back in a few turns. Twist the crayon gently in the blade rather than forcing it, and empty the shavings over a bin or a sheet of newspaper. Wax marks on a tabletop usually lift with a damp cloth, and the wooden barrels can be wiped with a soft dry cloth. Keep the crayons and sharpener together in a jar or pencil pot on the desk so nothing goes astray, or wrap the set with a sketchbook for a thoughtful little gift for a creative child.
