Product Information

Full details

The Janod Gel Crayons are designed for young artists who want to explore color with a mess-free experience that builds essential fine motor skills. These 10 vibrant, twist-up crayons provide a remarkably smooth gliding texture on paper, making them an excellent tool for developing hand-eye coordination during creative play. While they offer superior ease of use, users should be mindful that their soft, gel-based composition requires gentle handling to prevent the tips from snapping during vigorous coloring sessions.

FAQs

Are these crayons washable?

While the gel formula is designed for a clean experience, it is best to keep them away from fabrics and porous surfaces to avoid staining.

What is the recommended age for these crayons?

These are generally suitable for children ages 3 and up who are developing fine motor skills and grip control.

Do I need a sharpener for these?

No, these are twist-up crayons. You should never attempt to sharpen the gel tips.

Are the crayons non-toxic?

Yes, Janod ensures these products meet international safety standards for children's art supplies.

Can I use these on windows or glass?

These crayons are intended for paper use. Using them on glass or non-porous surfaces may make them difficult to remove.

How long does each crayon last?

The longevity depends on the frequency of use, but the twist-up mechanism allows you to use the full length of the 12.5cm crayon without waste.

Troubleshooting

The crayon tip feels dry or won't glide.

Ensure the lid was fully closed. If the tip is slightly dry, twist it out a bit further to access fresher gel underneath.

The crayon tip broke off.

Gently press the broken piece back onto the base of the crayon or continue using the remaining stub; avoid twisting the crayon up too high in the future.

The twist mechanism feels stuck.

Do not force the mechanism. Check if debris has entered the base and gently rotate the opposite way to clear any obstruction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with these crayons is simple: remove the lid, twist the base to expose a small amount of the gel tip, and begin coloring. No additional setup or sharpening is required.

To ensure the longevity of your Janod Gel Crayons:

Storage: Always replace the lids immediately after use to prevent the gel from drying out.
Handling: Teach children to only twist up a small amount of the crayon, as exposing too much of the soft tip can lead to snapping.
Cleaning: If the crayons touch clothing or fabric, treat the area with soap and water immediately. Store the set in the provided carry case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the gel formula.
