Enjoy the smooth, creamy laydown of Crayola® Oil Pastels. Their vivid, opaque colors blend wonderfully, opening up a wide world of true color mixing, tinting and shading; and as they're designed specifically for younger artists, they're also stronger, more durable and not as soft or as messy as artist-grade oil pastels. Their no-roll hexagonal shape is also more convenient for young artists, while their tapered points make it easy for children to get started right away.
