Green is the Prettiest Crayon
Date: January 8, 2008 | Category: Kids, Toys
If crayons could be fashionable, these Stockmar babies would hit the mark. Stockmar’s collection of eco-sensitive beeswax block crayons come in a reusable box without the superfluous and messy wrappers that characterize most crayons - so there’s really zero waste. And most kids adore the unique shape and varied textures they create. My tykes excitedly design masterpieces (slightly biased mom) with them. They’re certified non-toxic by the Art and Craft Materials Institute, meaning that they are rendered safe from harmful pigments, pesticides and heavy metals. This is a great green way for anyone to get their inner artist out (just make sure to doodle on tree-free or 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper). Think inside the box and order from Oompa Toys.

Great tip, particularly when we feel like drawing outside the lines!

I bought these for two nephews this holiday season. They actually are also available in the traditional crayon form, but I agree these square ones are cooler (and the ones I ordered)!
