The same crayons, made by Stockmar, have held up well over two years and barely show any signs of wear. Beeswax smells strongly of these colors and they are very pigmented. The colors in these crayons are excellent for blending and layering. Our children colour with them in early elementary school, create block crayon art, and use them in class. Any kid who has one of these should have one. As an inspiration, I strongly suggest that you look at Waldorf art with block crayons. The majority of us use them every day. It is absolutely necessary to buy a pack of Stockmar crayons to go along with them.
The crayons I bought were well worth the cash I spent on They have a block shape that makes them easy to use A friendly person. With either hold, they can be used to draw very narrow or very broad lines that can be used with varying degrees of precision. It's hard for me not to like the beeswax smell of these crayons, with its high quality pigments. As a gift to my kids, I've purchased crayons for myself and am planning to purchase more for them.
The crayons made from bees wax have been used by me in the past. You should be able to apply the crayon smoothly, and it should smell wonderful. There is an almost rancid smell to these. It is the age of the animals that makes them harder than they should be. Having originally planned to order more than one, I'm glad I didn't do so.
The crayons are nice to use, they have nice vibrant colors and a soft scent of beeswax. I found the inside of the box to be a complete mess when they arrived and I opened them! It wasn't hard to find crayon crumbles, and the crumbles of different colors were stuck to each other. I pretty much turned white crayon into multicolored polka dots. There was also a lot of dirt inside of the can. It would be great if the crayons were wrapped or put between two layers of paper, to minimize any mess created during the transport process. The corner of the box was also dented. The crayons my daughter uses every day are loved and well used by her. She is just four years old, and does not care about detail like that. It didn't bother her that the crayon was "dirty," or that the inside of the box was dirty.
The crayons I grew up with are the same ones I use now. The magic of coloring with them lies in their simplicity. I intended to give it to my daughter as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Sadly, some point in the supply chain leads to improper packaging of the products My container contained sixteen items, but three of them were broken when I opened it. I give the crayons themselves five out of five stars, but I give the packaging one out of five stars. A 3 out of 5 rating is the average.
The medium lends itself well to creative work. Initially, I bought the smaller set for my kids for school, but I ended up buying the larger set for myself because I loved it so much. Although there is not much difference in hue between the colors, I wish they were a bit more varied. In contrast, it's not such a big deal considering the incredible quality. The wonderful tins I've acquired have replaced the dozens of boxes of crayons that always got lost and broke. They never break and never get lost, and I haven't lost a single crayon box. As well as that, they last forever.
The price tag of this brand would lead you to assume it would be 100% pure and 100% beeswax, but that is not true. I really regret not reading that before purchasing as I would not have made the purchase, but besides all of that, they don't blend well together nor do they write as well as I had hoped they would.
It smells like honey and has an amazing color. My 1 year old's blocks fit in a wooden organizer that I bought off Etsy for ease of access, and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Since he still tries to eat his crayons, it is worth it to spend the extra money. All of my kids love the way these colors layer together and have such a vivid quality.
