Watercolors produce beautiful results, but the setup takes forever… and the cleanup is worse.
And somehow, paint water always ends up where it shouldn’t.
Fortunately, there’s a better way.
Watercolor crayons look like regular crayons. Kids color with them the same way. Then you add water with a Q-tip, and the color transforms into watercolor.
Setup takes maybe a minute. Cleanup takes two.
Teachers love them because the prep work is minimal and the results look impressive. Students love them because they’re familiar enough to feel comfortable, but the water part feels like magic.
We use watercolor crayons for Paul Klee, Georgia O’Keeffe, Renoir, and Henri Rousseau. Each artist teaches different techniques, but they all work with the same supply.
A kindergartener can succeed with them. So can an eighth grader.
Here’s what makes them work so well:
- They’re forgiving.
- You can layer colors, blend them, add more water.
- There’s no single “right way” to use them, which means kids can experiment without worrying about mistakes.
- And because we buy in bulk, our prices are lower than most retailers.
If you’re looking at art supplies for next semester, watercolor crayons are worth considering. They deliver the beauty of watercolors without requiring a dedicated art room or extensive cleanup time.
