Craytastic! Bulk Unwrapped Crayons Case of 270 (9 colors, Wax) for Crafting, Parties, Kids | Paperless Crayons with No Paper Wrapper | Safety Tested Compliant with ASTM D-4236

These were perfect for melted crayon, student encaustic, projects. Extras were used on their sides for crayon texture rubbing, and background colors for drawing activities. This saved me a lot of time unwrapping our daily use crayons.

Just recently received my box order of Crayons and I’m satisfied with the overall product. The overall presentation and saving of unwrapped crayons is pretty good deal. They are evenly sorted and divided out in organized dividers. They are a bit smaller in dimanetion of size then the average Crayola brand crayons and not as pigmented. Currently, using them for a melting Christmas project which I’m using a silicone mold and heating in a pan over a boiling pot of water. This appointment seems the most effective since microwaving is a bit tedious and dangourouse. The most effective way that I found for the crayons to take shape in heir mold is to carefully place in the freezer for no more then 10 minutes. The end result came out quite nice given working without gloves, there want a bit of non-toxic wax residue on my hands.

Perfect for melting

I bought these for melting for crayons; we made heart shaped valentines for my kids’ classes. They worked great. This is the 2nd time I’ve purchased. They work for coloring ok too. Other reviewers who say that they just run into one color of mush are heating them for far too long. The key is to watch them closely for the moment they are done melting and then remove it from heat IMMEDIATELY. You can’t let them cook for an extended period of time because yes, the pigments melt and become liquid so (DUH) of course they will mix. ANY crayons will do this. Note: brown melts at a slightly slower rate than the rest of the other colors, so if you use brown in a pattern do a batch of crayons that all have some brown in them, or your other crayons in the oven (without brown) will not turn out as well because they will be overheated and blend more than you probably want. All in all, they worked great, and I didn’t have to spend an hour peeling crayons for the project! A+ in this mom’s book!

Might be decent for coloring, but not for melting to make molded crayons. The pigments separated and sank. If you only want a single color, they can be stirred before cooling, but to make multi-colored molded crayons, they don't work. I have included 2 pictures that show the separation. Also, as an early childhood teacher, I wasn't happy with the defined colors - the red and orange are very hard to identify as different. Not a good choice for helping kids learn colors.

I was pleasantly surprised at these crayons. The colors were so vibrant, they are nice and slim for crayon art. I cant wait to use them. I will be getting another box of these.

Worked perfectly. For melting into alphabet for kids names for Christmas. So much easier than taking paper off crayons!!!!!!

Wish there were a few more colors, but overall good selection. Worked great for what I needed them for!
