Setup, Compatibility & Care
These crayons come in a hanging box and are ready for use immediately upon opening. No assembly is required.
- Compatibility: These are compatible with all standard drawing surfaces like sketchbooks, poster board, and printer paper.
- Care Instructions: To keep the wax in optimal condition, store the pencils in their box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as extreme heat may soften the wax.
- Cleaning: Should marks appear on surfaces other than paper, most wax-based marks can be removed using a damp cloth or mild soap and water, though it is always best to supervise use to prevent unwanted wall art.
