Terrific Color . Finally, a great crayon for the paper we use.

My partner teacher brought these to my attention when "mysteriously" a pack turned up in her classroom. What a find! So we both are working right now on small bookmaking on black paper we got at the dollar store anyway, and these color in fantastically. This is keeping kids actively engaged.
First of all Crayolas are the best but NOT supplied to me or my students, so every year I go buy 16 or 24 color packs for my 1st graders. I have bought 100 color packs, but not the last two years. The cost is more than I can justify. It so helps within our work to use these to illustrate ideas, highlight words, fill in data tables...it goes on and on. But it is true that on construction they aren't hardy enough on richly colored paper to show well. (So then I purchased high end Pentel pencils.) And that's a dilemma because it's all the paper we have and I know they'll soon eliminate that.

What a great thing to find that we can get a couple boxes of these to add into our rooms. This year both of us are enriching the rooms with things like gel pens and supplies that make doing your work more of a pleasure. We've both decided this is necessary. Plus of course teaching art as a part of the disciplines. My package just arrived and in November I'll re-order. It is a study box and the color range is lovely-so that it will engage my class in the "pattern books" Every month my kids make 6 to 8 page pattern books to illustrate and name patterns. One reason is that abstraction is important, a tree becomes named with a symbol and eventually named also as "A" as they'll find in math later on....I like to make the books with colored paper. These work great for drawing the frog, dragonfly, frog, dragonfly and so on.

So...If your sister teaches, your niece, someone you talk to on this site, a favorite person you know, someone you met at the coffeehouse or just it happens you have children in school or want to send a remembrance to a teacher your child had this is a pretty great gift.
If you send it in with your child the year will undoubtedly be a better one. The quality is great and I think what they did was add a bit of white into the pigment to make it a better choice for the darker colors of construction that we so often work on.They feel like all crayolas, full of wonder.
