How to use

Select the desired color and apply the crayon to paper or card stock with light to moderate pressure. For broader coverage, lay the crayon flat and sweep across the surface; for finer lines and detail, use the tip of the crayon. Colors can be layered gently to achieve subtle blends and simple shading effects. Keep crayons capped in their box or stored upright when not in use to reduce breakage and maintain organization.

Usage recommendations

Use on standard paper and card stock for optimal results; avoid rough or heavily textured surfaces that may accelerate wear. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent softening or discoloration. Supervise young children during use to avoid accidental ingestion and to encourage proper handling.
