Stockmar beeswax block crayons make broad fields of color, layered landscapes, rubbings, and simple form drawings without the fragile points of ordinary crayons. The tin contains eight waterproof blocks made with beeswax and lightfast, non-toxic pigments. Children can use the wide face for smooth coverage, an edge for lines, or a corner for smaller details.

Their saturated color and sturdy shape make them a staple in many Waldorf homeschool art baskets, especially for younger hands developing grip and pressure control. Keep the blocks in their tin, separate very dark colors when needed, and use textured paper or rubbing plates for additional effects.

A durable, saturated-color crayon set for Waldorf homeschool art baskets.
