Wax block crayons: Waldorf assortment – Stockmar

A set of non-toxic high-quality Waldorf assortment Stockmar wax block crayons including a tin case, a small scraper and 8 unbreakable wax block crayons measuring 4.1 x 2.3 x 1.2cm each. Their size and flat shape mean they sit well in the hand and are specially suited for small children. The Stockmar wax block crayons contain pure bees wax as a binding agent and meet the highest educational, aesthetic and artistic demands and promise years of pure drawing pleasure. The crayons have a pleasant fragrance which appeals to the senses of the child.

Featuring outstanding drawing properties and guaranteed to not crumble, stick or smudge, these non-toxic wax crayons are an integral part of a sound concept for art education for children. The shape of the wax blocks allows for creating an array of artistic effects such as waves by dragging the block across the paper.

The colour range of the wax crayons follows the extended version of Goethe’s “theory of colours”: each tone included in the assortment has been adjusted so that it can be mixed well with any of the other colours. Harmonious intermediate gradations and boundary-less colour blending are also possible whether drawing, painting, generously applying, layering, scraping or melting colours. The natural transparency of the wax and the absence of fillers result in a glaze ability, comparable to that of watercolour paint.

This Waldorf assortment set includes the following colours from the Stockmar range:

01 carmine red | 02 vermilion | 03 orange | 04 golden yellow | 05 lemon yellow | 07 green | 10 ultramarine | 12 red violet.

After application, the colours are smudge-proof and have a high luminosity.

The Stockmar wax block crayons are suitable for children aged 3 years and up and have been awarded with the Spielgut® seal.
