 | I've just discovered a fab new brand of crayons by Bambino. When I'm creating colouring sheets I always love trying out new art materials I can use in photos and workshops. I've pretty much avoided crayons, particularly wax as I dislike the texture and mess, then I spied these new clay formula crayons and I just had to try them. I've used them to colour in an Afternoon Tea themed colouring sheet I designed last year. |
Bambino are unlike crayons I've used before, I often colour in and draw with my 2 year old nephew. Even he has moved on from wax crayons as I think he found them frustrating to use. The wax kind certainly don't have a nice texture and depending on the brand they can often be faded and dull. I came across the Bambino crayons on Instagram and ordered a box out of curiosity, I'm so pleased I did! Firstly I love the tiny animal designs on the wrappers, they are so cute and kids will always notice and appreciate little details like those (I know my nephew will).

Straight away I could tell that the clay crayons are much smoother and more satisfying to use, you don't get those awful clumps that you can with wax. The colours pop brilliantly due to the high quality of pigment and they blend beautifully too. I'm going to buy a bigger box for my nephew for his birthday, I'm sure he's going to love them. (They are also easy to clean and erase which is a huge plus.) Although I'm sure these will be huge favourites with adults too because of their higher quality and large range of colours. Thank you Bambino!
