Stockmar 16 Wax Block Crayons in a Tin | Colour Wheel Assortment
Sixteen Stockmar Wax Block Crayons arranged in a harmonious palette based on Goethe’s colour wheel. This Waldorf-inspired colour selection spans vibrant primary tones, nuanced secondary shades and grounding earth colours, offering a rich spectrum for expressive drawing and layered colour work.
Opening the tin releases the natural, warm aroma of beeswax, a subtle sensory reminder of the material at the heart of each crayon. The colours are arranged in a flowing spectrum from reds through greens to blues, with black and white included for depth and contrast.
Natural Beeswax Formula
Stockmar wax block crayons are formulated with 10% beeswax, the optimal amount needed to achieve their characteristic warmth, smooth texture and durability. Beeswax is a precious natural resource, and Stockmar uses as much as necessary and as little as possible to ensure environmental responsibility without compromising quality.
The absence of filling materials allows the pigments to remain vibrant and translucent, enhancing their ability to layer and blend without dulling. Colours shine lightly through one another rather than appearing flat or chalky.
Why Choose Stockmar Wax Block Crayons?
Unlike traditional stick crayons, wax block crayons offer multiple drawing surfaces. Their flat sides, long edges and corners allow children to create broad areas of colour, soft gradients and varied line widths with ease. This is why Wax Blocks are so popular in Waldorf education settings.
The flat, sturdy shape makes them especially suitable for beginners while remaining versatile enough for older children and adults. They encourage broad, confident movements and full-arm drawing rather than tight, controlled outlines. Because they cover space quickly and smoothly, they support generous colour application, blending and layering. Each block measures 41 x 23 x 12mm, providing a substantial and durable drawing tool.
Layering and Scratching Techniques
Colours can be layered so that the shade beneath shines through the one on top, creating subtle, opalescent effects. The included scraping tool allows for etched lines, revealed contrasts and textured surfaces, extending creative possibilities beyond simple colouring.
