Stockmar Wax Colouring Blocks with Beeswax - 16 Colours

Stockmar Wax Blocks are wonderful drawing tools for young children as they are easy to apply and completely non-toxic. Through the addition of pure beeswax as a binding agent, the light-resisting pigments reveal all their purity and brilliance. As mixed with wax, the colors provide a wide range of interesting coloring techniques. Stockmar Wax Blocks can be layered, scraped and even melted to make beautiful pictures. The beeswax gives the colours a special shine and won't crumble, stick or smudge. Stockmar Wax Blocks as well as their popular Wax Crayons meet the highest educational, aesthetic and artistic demands.

These crayons contain 10% beeswax.

The Wax Blocks, which are made from the same materials and available in identical colours to the crayons, have outstanding drawing properties and appeal to the senses. Their size and flat shape mean they sit well in the hand and are specially suited for small children. What is more, children can draw colourful areas easily, and arrive at interesting effects. For example by dragging the long edge of the block in a wave-like fashion across the paper. From the very first "pencil", Stockmar's assortment of unbreakable Wax Blocks grows as you grow. And so too, the artistic possibilities.

The colour quality and the high capability of varnishing make painting an adventure for young and old. Many lovely little-known techniques of painting offer surprising possibilities. There are charming effects when layering one on top of the other, scraping or melting the colours.
