Frequently Asked Questions

• Do they need sharpening? No, the twist mechanism means there is no need for a sharpener, making them much safer and cleaner than traditional crayons.
• Are they safe if a child licks them? Yes, these crayons are non-toxic, though they should always be used under adult supervision to avoid choking hazards.
• Will the wax snap? Because the wax is housed inside a hard plastic tube, these are significantly more break-resistant than standard wax crayons.

Quick Art Hack: The "Invisible" Rubbing

• Because the BIC Kids Turn & Colour crayons are so sturdy, they are excellent for "texture rubbings." Place a leaf or a coin under a piece of paper and use the crayon to rub over it. The plastic barrel gives kids more leverage and control, resulting in a perfect, clear imprint of the object beneath!
