28 Count Crayola Oil Pastels: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Oil Pastels came out in 1999. I received these Crayola Oil Pastels as a gift and I love them, even though say that about everything I write.  I like that they make strong lines with out having to press too hard.  You can also blend two colors to make a new color. On the back of the box it also suggests to do rubbings with a textured object behind it or to color with light colors, cover with dark colors and scratch out patterns.  My one advisory to parents is that they are not stain resistant.  Do not use them with younger children.

This is the first 28 count box Crayola made of the oil pastels.  Oil pastels are usually an art supply used by professional artists.  Crayola does have a professional line, the Portfolio Series.  They probably borrowed these from that line to introduce them to kids.  Crayola continues to make these pastels in 16 and 28 count box sizes. They are considered by Crayola to be crayons having the 52- style number. I really like the box design too, it comes with a lid and is very easy to store.
