Product Information

Full details

The Crayola Colored Pencils 120-count set is designed for students, educators, and hobbyists who require an expansive color palette for detailed art projects, coloring books, and school assignments. These pencils provide a reliable, smooth color laydown and come pre-sharpened, allowing for immediate creative expression right out of the box; however, because they are wax-based, they may not be suitable for professional-grade layering techniques that require high-pigment oil-based pencils.

FAQs

Are these pencils oil-based or wax-based?

These Crayola colored pencils are wax-based, which provides a smooth, soft application ideal for blending.

Do these pencils contain toxic materials?

Crayola products are non-toxic and formulated to be safe for use by students and artists of all ages.

Can I use these for professional art commissions?

While these are high-quality for students and hobbyists, they are not classified as lightfast artist-grade pencils and may fade over time when exposed to direct light.

Are the colors blendable?

Yes, the wax core allows for effective blending, especially when layering colors slowly or using a blending tool.

Do I need a special sharpener?

No, these pencils fit perfectly in all standard-sized pencil sharpeners, whether manual or electric.

Are these pencils water-soluble?

No, these are standard colored pencils and are not intended for use as watercolor pencils.

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead keeps breaking while sharpening.

Ensure your pencil sharpener blade is sharp. If the blade is dull, it will tear the wood and break the core; replace or clean the sharpener.

Color appears faint or streaky.

Increase pressure slightly or check the paper texture. Using a slightly toothier paper can help the wax pigment grip the surface better.

Pencils are difficult to blend.

Try using a lighter touch during the first layer and use a colorless blender pencil to soften the transitions between colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required for these pencils; simply remove them from the packaging and begin drawing. To maintain the life of your pencils, it is recommended to use a high-quality manual or electric sharpener that features a sharp blade to prevent the wood from splintering. When storing the set, keep them in the original box or a dedicated pencil wrap in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax cores from softening or melting. The set is compatible with standard sketchbooks, drawing paper, and most acid-free coloring books. Avoid using these on slick, non-porous surfaces as the wax pigment will not adhere properly.
