Art is an education in itself, and every child has an interest in drawing and coloring. What makes these art tools unique is that they come in an assortment of skin hues that give a child a realistic palette for coloring his or her world.
These crayons open the door to discussions of cultural traits and insights, as well as set the grounds for historical and societal discussions.
At first I was reluctant to endorse these, explained Mary Waterson of Portland, Ore. I thought they were too PC. But then my daughter, Leslie, started playing with them in the car and matching the color of the crayon to the color of a person she saw. This began an hour-long discussion about the history of mankind and the origin of races. I was impressed.
They are thick for an easy grip perfect for little hands and come in black, sepia, peach, apricot, white, tan, mahogany and burnt sienna.
