High-quality wax crayons offer warm, luminous and vibrant colours. Stick and block crayons create different possibilities for lines, forms and broad areas of colour, inviting children to express what they see and imagine through the movement of their hands and a direct experience of colour.
Firm at first, modelling beeswax gradually softens through the warmth of the hands and takes form through the imagination. Its natural colour, fragrance and texture offer a rich sensory experience, while the unhurried process invites focused attention, patience and a sensitive relationship with the material.
Watercolour painting offers a living experience of colour. In wet-on-wet painting, colours flow, move, meet and give rise to new shades upon the paper. Children learn through attentive observation and by working with the nature of colour, rather than using it merely to fill predetermined shapes or reproduce a finished image.
