Stockmar 8 Wax Block Crayons in a Tin | Standard Rainbow Colour Assortment

Eight Stockmar Wax Block Crayons presented in a versatile Standard colour palette, combining vibrant primary and secondary tones with earth shades and black. This selection offers a balanced range for drawing, shading and exploring colour.

Opening the tin releases the natural, warm aroma of beeswax, a subtle sensory reminder of the material at the heart of each crayon. The colours are arranged in colour wheel order within the metal tin, making it easy to select and combine shades intuitively.

Natural Beeswax Formula
Stockmar wax block crayons are formulated with 10% beeswax, the optimal amount needed to achieve their characteristic warmth, smooth texture and durability. Beeswax is a precious natural resource, and Stockmar uses as much as necessary and as little as possible to ensure environmental responsibility without compromising quality.

The absence of filling materials allows the pigments to remain vibrant and translucent, enhancing their ability to layer and blend without dulling. Colours shine lightly through one another rather than appearing flat or chalky.

Why Choose Stockmar Wax Block Crayons?
Unlike traditional stick crayons, wax block crayons offer multiple drawing surfaces. Their flat sides, long edges, and corners allow children to create broad areas of colour, soft gradients and varied line widths with ease. This is why Wax Blocks are so popular in Waldorf education settings.

The flat, sturdy shape makes them especially suitable for beginners. Easy to grip and resistant to breakage, they encourage broad, confident movements and full-arm drawing rather than tight, controlled outlines. Because they cover space quickly and smoothly, they allow for generous colour application, layering and shading. Each block measures 41 x 23 x 12mm, providing a substantial and durable drawing tool for small hands.

Layering and Scratching Techniques
Colours can be layered so that the shade beneath shines through the one on top, creating subtle, opalescent effects. The included scraping tool allows children to etch lines, reveal contrasting layers and experiment with texture, extending creative possibilities beyond simple colouring.
