The Review

I just got this box and took it into my classroom to try.
I'm thinking about dividing a paper into quarters and illustrating seed, sprout, plant, sunflower or seed, sprout, plant, pumpkin.
Then using the medium as it is intended.You see so many unable to do that. Many struggle with oil pastels, but I love them. They are a thick, physical, messy, material. Ideal for starting to use in childhood. There is a whale of a learning curve in many things, oil pastels are one. That and this box is sturdy and comes with enough pastels per color that my class of twenty can have at the colors and have extra black an white to move it around. I'd like to use it on the construction paper at school. It has some tooth.
16 colors, a wide enough range to be interesting, fairly good, and waiting for a good project. Too bad that I pay for it.
