Wax chalk set recommended for children

It is recommended to allow the little ones to get to know and use the different materials, stimulate the senses and encourage the development of fine motor skills and the ability to concentrate. 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. The supervision of an adult at the time of creation is important, but it is recommended to avoid interference and give creative freedom to the child and provide technical assistance if necessary.

Wax chalks or wax pastels, resemble oil pastels but the color pigments are mixed with wax instead of fat. Therefore, the wax chalks are less greasy to the touch and less dirty than oil pastels. Wax colors are especially suitable for drawing for tiny children who are experimenting with colors for the first time. Wax chalks are easy to hold, soft, putty and spread easily. You can use your fingers to blend the layers of paint together. When the layer of paint is thick enough, you can use a toothpick and scrape away paint while creating paintings by etching, similar to oil pastel. Wax crayons can be sharpened with a simple sharpener and create a sharp edge for drawing thin lines. The paint crumbs that are created as a result of the sharpening can be used for painting with the hands.
