Spontaneous and free creation should be encouraged. The creative experiences improve self-confidence, enable self-discovery through contact with the material. At these ages art allows children to express themselves without words, to process feelings and emotions through creation.

Wax colors or wax pastels, reminiscent of oil pastel but the pigments of the color are mixed with wax instead of grease. Therefore the wax chalks are less greasy to the touch and less soiling than oil pastel. Wax paints are especially suitable for painting for tiny children who are experiencing colors for the first time. Wax chalks are easy to grip, soft, greasy and easily spread. The fingers can be used to blend the layers of paint together. When the paint layer is thick enough, you can use a toothpick and scrape paint while creating drawings by engraving, similar to oil pastel. Wax chalks can be sharpened with a knife (used for adults only) and create a sharp edge for drawing thin lines. The paint crumbs formed as a result of the sharpening can be used for painting using the hands.
