Full details

This 12-pack of Legami Teddy Friends Twist-Up Wax Crayons is perfect for young artists and creative individuals looking for vibrant, easy-to-use coloring tools. The key benefit is their mess-free twist-up design and water-solubility for a unique tempera effect. A potential caveat is that the 8mm tip may be too broad for very fine detail work. These crayons offer soft strokes, intense colors, and eliminate the need for sharpening.

FAQs

Do I need to sharpen these crayons?

No, these are twist-up crayons and do not require sharpening. Simply twist the base to reveal more of the crayon tip.

How do I achieve the tempera effect?

Color your drawing on paper as usual. Then, use a slightly damp paintbrush to gently blend and dissolve the colors. This will create a softer, watercolor-like effect.

Are these crayons safe for young children?

Yes, these crayons are designed for children. However, as with all art materials, adult supervision is recommended, especially when using water for the tempera effect.

How should I store the crayons?

Store them in their original packaging or a suitable container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight.

What happens if the crayon tip breaks off?

If the tip breaks, you can try to carefully twist the remaining crayon back into the casing and then twist it up again. If a significant portion is gone, it may be difficult to use.

Can I use these on surfaces other than paper?

While primarily designed for paper, they can be used on other porous art surfaces. Performance may vary on non-paper materials.

Are the colors fade-resistant?

The intensity of the colors is high when applied. However, like most wax-based art materials, long-term lightfastness may vary, and artwork should ideally be protected from prolonged direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Crayon tip won't advance

Ensure the base is being twisted in the correct direction. If the crayon is fully used, it cannot be advanced further.

Color appears faded

Apply slightly more pressure or ensure the tip is clean. For the tempera effect, remember that dissolving the pigment with water will naturally create a softer appearance.

Crayon melted or deformed

This can happen in high temperatures. Allow the crayon to cool and harden completely before attempting to use it. Store in a cooler environment.

Difficulty cleaning marks

For stubborn marks, try using a gentle art eraser or a specific stain remover suitable for wax. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Variety of 12 colors to inspire imagination.

Cons

  • The 8mm tip might be too thick for intricate details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These crayons require no setup. Simply twist the base to expose more of the crayon tip as needed.

Compatibility:

Designed for use on paper, cardstock, and other suitable art surfaces. The water-soluble feature works best when applying water gently with a brush after coloring.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or degradation.
  • Cleaning: To clean the crayons, wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth if they become soiled. Ensure the crayon is dry before twisting it further. For accidental marks on surfaces or clothing, test a small, inconspicuous area with mild soap and water. For the tempera effect, allow artwork to dry completely before handling.
