Wax Block Crayons -Waldorf Colors

As a mom and grandmother to many who is concerned about our family's health and well being (and also an artist!), the quality and toxicity of products we use is very important to me. For many years I have purchased these very crayons, in various forms, for my children and grandchildren. We simply love to make art, and use quality tools to do so. The quality of these crayons are second to none! The depth of color, the pigmentation, of these crayons is simply beautiful! Pictures drawn with these are vibrant, beautiful, and do not ever fade. Also, the availability of both stick and block forms make it easy for hands of every size and ability to enjoy creating beautiful art, right out of the convenient tin! And should a toddler or baby decide they wanted a taste of these lovely sticks, there is no need to worry about upset tummies or discolored lips. With a beeswax base and naturally-derived pigments, there is never a concern for such. So if you're looking for crayons for your little ones that you can feel good about, these are definitely it! Not the cheap versions you pick up at Walmart, but certainly worth every penny!

Stockmar beeswax block crayons are WONDERFUL for toddlers, who are still learning fine motor skills. They are bright colors, easy to hold, and so fun to use. The tin in which they come is a wonderful way to store them (and makes them portable in a diaper bag, as well, for those interminable minutes of waiting for food to come at a restaurant... ). We love these, use them like crazy, and gift them to toddlers on holidays and birthdays all over the place. :) Highly recommended.

I was looking for a non-toxic product for a toddler that loves to put everything in their mouth. These German made (i.e. high quality) crayons are block shaped without any paper and perfect for little hands and made of beeswax. The tin and blocks are a game all in one. It comes with a sharper that an adult will need to utilize and store separately. Most important, the toddler is coloring with them and then puts the blocks back into the tin- love the design!

I bought these for two of the grandkids as their first crayons. They are small but not for a toddler fist. The colors are pastel but again, toddlers aren't usually too picky. I wanted them after I saw my granddaughter bite into a regular crayon as little ones will do. These are not recommended food items, but if ingested will not hurt a child. The two moms were very happy with these crayons!

These crayons are the same ones my now grown daughter used in Waldorf school some years ago. Now my little grandson is using them. They are the best

I previously tried another brand made from beeswax and was highly disappointed because my 18 month old had to press really hard to see it. This brand however, is wonderful!!! It glides on easily and smoothly and my little one is able to see results which builds her confidence to color more. The colors are beautiful!. I was hesitant to spend this much money on crayons because she's a thrower, but they've held up again and again. Definitely worth the investment. Wish I would have bought these originally.

I bought these bright crayons for my one year old. He is not quite ready to draw yet but they are the very best option for early artists. I love that they are easy to hold and that they basically make a mark any way that you put them on the paper. Great intense color too! Wonderful packaging (my little one loves holding the tin they come in). I would recommend these high quality crayons to everyone and will be buying some for gifts.

The tin is about 3 inches square. Much smaller than I expected from the picture but they are as listed.
