Oil Pastels lay down bright, vivid opaque color that blends to a true secondary color. The tapered point is ideal for detail drawing. The barrel, designed for children, is jumbo-sized for longer-lasting use. Hexagonal shape prevents them from rolling off desks & makes them easier to hold. They are tightly wrapped for durability, & the rich colors are nontoxic. This pack contains enough gorgeous colors to satisfy every junior artist, whatever they're creating. For a little extra glitz, it also includes oil pastels in metallic gold & silver.
