Product Description Is it crayon, oil pastel, or watercolor? Silky Crayons have a wonderful smooth gliding touch and incredible vivid color! Silky crayons come in twist-up tubes and are as easy to use as a crayon but go on like an oil pastel. Silky Crayons are watersoluble and with a q-tip or a paint brush you can create nice watercolor effects. Watersoluble also means these crayons stains will wash off easily with water. Non-toxic and odor free these are the next generation of crayons! Silky crayons are blendable and you'll be amazed at how beautiful the colors are.
Customer Reviews
kids love them, parents love them, caregivers love them     Posted 18 September 2006 Anybody bored with crayons? These silky ones are killer, an order of magnitude apart. They are like oil paint in how they look on paper: deep, vibrant, lucious colors, without the mess or toxicity, plus they're on a stick. Easy handling, two-year-olds can make scribble-scrabbles of beauty. There's no upper age limit, virtually everybody likes these things: the little little ones feel very grown up using them, the older kids love the intensity of color and ease of application, as do the adults. And there's nothing better when the kids want you to do pictures with them. I'm bored out of my skull with most of the kid art supplies: cheaply make, washed-out colors or ho-hum primary colors, or so freakin' messy that I don't even want to set up. But these will get me happily ensconced at the art table, indefinately, especially since we got a paper roll and I have taken to using it to make wrapping paper by making designs or mandalas or geometric shapes or whatever, then coloring them in-with these silky crayons it's fast and surprisingly beautiful. The 24 color case is a gift I give regularly to kids of all ages, and it and ends up being their favorite art supply. One word on the mess factor: while they are mostly unmessy, there is a slight smudge quality to them (lovely effect on the paper) such that with the younger kids a smock, a post art hand wash, and an adult eye kept on the proceedings is a good idea.
