CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Description:
Stockmar crayons are made of non-toxic and sweet smelling beeswax. Long lasting and brilliant in color, they are a favorite for parents, children and schools. This set of eight block crayons presents endless artistic possibilities. Place the crayon on one side and draw endless skies with a single swoop. Use the edge to print letters and numbers.
Stockmar wax crayons meet the highest artistic standards. Through the addition of pure beeswax as a binding agent, the light-resistant pigments display their purity and full brilliance. Because they are mixed with wax, the colors are able to be used in a wide range of interesting coloring techniques - more than any other coloring material. The natural transparency of the wax and the lack of additives result in a high degree of opacity like that of watercolors.
Luxurious set includes one block crayon in each of the following colors: carmine red, vermilion, orange, golden yellow, lemon yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, blue, ultramarine, violet blue, purple, rust, yellow brown, black, white. Made in Germany.

If you've never used beeswax crayonsMar 20, 2009 Okay, I thought these hip little beeswax crayons were going to be amazingly better than crayola's. Not really so. Unless softened and warmed up a bit one will actually have to push quite hard to get any color. I do like that they are natural and sturdy -the squares are virtually impossible for little hands to break. If money isn't an issue and the heater is always on, go for it.

Dog Owners Beware! Intoxicating to My DogFeb 26, 2009 I bought these partially so I could leave them at kid level without worrying about little pieces breaking off/rolling on the floor and getting lost. Well, my Miniature Schnauzer, who would chew up a round crayon once in a while if it were left on the floor--thus my interest in nice crayons that don't roll--is OBSESSED with eating these. Especially the light green. After 4 attempts he has eaten 1/2 of it. SO much for the set of crayons I thought we'd be able to have through my child's entire childhood. I know it is not a flaw that can be blamed on the maker. I just wanted to advise other dog-owning parents that this could happen with you too due to the materials used. It definitely smells a lot more like food to my dog than the cheapo ones did.
These are nice crayons. The shape is good for my toddler to use. They do dull a lot fast than I expected, not having used beeswax crayons before. They're softer than Crayolas. Also, though I like not having wrappers, it is a little hard to distinguish between some colors once you get to the 16 pack.
