I always have a tub of useless, broken crayon stubs hanging around. Do you? After years of homeschooling, I have learned something (thank goodness!)—it is worth every penny to buy quality art supplies. Years ago, I purchased an expensive quality set of German beeswax crayons in a tin. After throwing away tubs of broken crayons, I noticed that my "German crayons" were still the children's favorite because of their brilliant colors that apply to paper so smoothly and beautifully. None of them were broken, as they are thick and solid, and easy to hold. And their sturdy little tin had outlasted oodles of paper crayon boxes. After doing a little math, I realized that I actually saved money by buying these excellent crayons. Art projects are more fun too, because the final product is remarkably more vivid in color and texture. These are the top quality crayons used in Waldorf and Montessori schools. Try these—you'll be glad you made the investment.
