## Long description

Crayon blocks Astra — 16 colors, block-shaped wax crayons are a set of chunky rectangular wax crayons designed for drawing and coloring. The 16-color selection covers a range of primary and secondary hues suitable for preschool and school art activities, colouring books, and craft projects. The block shape provides a comfortable grip for small hands and enables broad strokes and fast area filling, supporting early development of fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination.
Advantages
The block-shaped design reduces rolling and makes handling easier for children compared with traditional cylindrical crayons. Dense wax formulation delivers even, opaque coverage on paper and cardboard, allowing quick colouring of large areas. Durable edges withstand typical pressure from young users, while the compact size of each piece makes storage and transport convenient for classroom or home use.
Suitable for
Preschool and early school drawing and colouring activities
Colouring books and activity pads
Craft and mixed-media projects on paper and cardboard
Motor skills development and drawing practice for children

Intended users: preschool and school-aged children
How to use
Select a crayon and hold it with a comfortable grip between the thumb and fingers so the broad flat side can contact the paper. Apply steady pressure for opaque coverage or lighter pressure for softer, more subtle shading. Use the flat faces for filling large areas quickly and the edges for creating thinner lines or details. Store crayons in a dry place away from direct heat to avoid softening and to preserve shape and performance.
Usage recommendations
Supervise young children while using crayons to prevent accidental ingestion. Use appropriate paper weight for best results—slightly heavier paper or drawing pads reduce wax bleed-through and improve colour intensity. For mixed-media projects, test compatibility of wax with other materials such as glue or water-based paints on a small area first.
