Adapted Art: Painting with Crayon Brix
Crayon Brix can be painted with if dipped in water or used dry like a pastel.
The shape provides a change and a new challenge for budding artists.
If your child has trouble with traditional cylindrical crayons - these may be easier to handle. They are excellent quality with strong true colour. Of course they are nontoxic, although kids should not snack on them! They are not washable so you don't want them used on the walls. And do use a smock!
