Using these Color Appeel crayons is super easy. Just pick up a crayon and start drawing on your paper or coloring book. The smooth wax makes it glide easily for a great drawing experience. There are 12 different bold colors in the set, so you can create all sorts of colorful pictures. When you notice the crayon getting short, simply pull the string on the side. This will peel away the paper, revealing more of the crayon for you to use. Keep the crayons away from heat as the wax may melt. Also, don't let young children put the crayons in their mouths. To store them, you can keep them in the box they came in or a small container. That way, they'll stay organized and ready for your next coloring session.
