FAQs

How many different skin tones are included?

The set is specifically curated to represent over 40 diverse global skin tones.

Are these pencils non-toxic?

Yes, Crayola coloured pencils are non-toxic and safe for use by children in classroom settings.

Can these be used for professional art?

While intended for classrooms, the smooth pigmentation makes them suitable for student portfolios and general illustration.

Do I need a specific sharpener for these pencils?

No, they fit standard-sized pencil sharpeners commonly found in schools.

Are these pencils water-soluble?

No, these are standard wax-based coloured pencils and will not react to water like watercolors.

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead keeps breaking during sharpening

Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp; a dull blade will pull and tear the lead rather than cutting it.

Colors appear dull on paper

Use a toothy drawing paper or cardstock; smooth printer paper often fails to grab the pigment effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive variety of skin tone shades
  • High-quality, smooth pigment application
  • Generous 240-count supply for groups
  • Sturdy wooden casing prevents frequent breakage
  • Easy to integrate into existing classroom curricula

Cons

  • High quantity may be excessive for casual home users
  • Requires significant desk space for full set access
  • Lacks primary color variety for standard landscapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep these pencils in top condition, ensure you use a high-quality manual or electric sharpener that does not shred the wooden casing. When storing, keep the pencils away from high-moisture environments, as this can warp the wooden barrels. For classroom setups, we recommend sorting the pencils by shade or grouping them in small containers by skin-tone families—light, medium, and deep—to help students find the colors they need faster. Always store the pencils horizontally or point-up to prevent the internal lead from cracking due to constant impacts within the box.
