We decided that the best way to test all the colors in these sets would be to draw a rainbow. It just makes sense. But before we knew it, we had a whole scene of vibrant flowers and smiley moons and psychedelic ladybugs before us. These high quality pencils and crayons knock standard brands out of the water and they do it with such grace and practicality.

You look at each kaleidoscopic color and see 100% solid crayon because these coloring tools are unique: they are not covered in paper or made up of two parts wood like most of your other brands. And why should they be? You ought to get the most for your money! Children are able use the entire thing and you (and the earth) don't have to worry about the waste caused by excess wood and paper. Except, of course, when it comes to all the paper your child is going to go through utilizing these artsy aids and the wooden frames you will end up plowing through because the resulting pictures are just too pretty to store in a box.

The 12 crayons are thick and triangular shaped, perfectly ergonomic for little hands and won't rub off on them either. They are easily sharpened and made of totally non-toxic materials, but you don't have to feel as if you are sacrificing fun for the sake of safety and awareness when it comes to these artsy aids; they color smoothly and beautifully and we hope you will be inspired to create some rainbows of your own.
