Kitpas Dustless Chalks - 6 Basic Colours

A gentle way to explore colour

These naturally soft chalks invite children to draw, blend, and experiment with colour in a safe, playful way. Their smooth texture allows for bold, vibrant marks, whether on chalkboards, paper, or other suitable surfaces. Each stroke becomes an opportunity to explore creativity, line, and movement.

Crafted from natural, thoughtful materials

Kitpas Dustless Chalks are made from recycled scallop shells blended with calcium carbonate, transforming what would otherwise be discarded into a beautiful, eco-friendly art material. Free from harmful chemicals, these chalks are non-toxic and safe for little hands, supporting mindful and sustainable creative play.

Their naturally soft texture and dustless formula make them gentle on children, keeping art time clean and enjoyable while still offering vibrant, high-coverage colour.

Open-ended creative play

Children can layer colours, blend shades, and experiment with texture and mark-making at their own pace. There is no fixed outcome—just space to imagine, create, and explore. These chalks are ideal for both guided and free-form activities, inspiring confidence and curiosity in young artists.

Safe for little hands

Non-toxic, allergen-friendly, and thoughtfully made, these chalks provide a natural alternative to conventional chalks that may contain dust or synthetic materials.

Made with care in Japan

Each chalk is carefully produced in Japan, with attention to quality, consistency, and responsible manufacturing. These chalks reflect care for both the maker and the child, supporting mindful creativity and appreciation for natural materials.

About Kitpas

Kitpas is a Japanese maker of thoughtful, eco‑friendly art materials with a long history of caring for people and the planet. Since its founding in 1937, the company has focused on creating art tools that encourage creativity while being safe and sustainable. Originally known for low‑dust chalk made from scallop shells recycled from food‑industry waste, Kitpas continues to transform by‑products into beautiful materials that might otherwise be discarded, giving them new life in expressive tools for children and adults.

In 2021 Kitpas introduced rice bran wax as the primary ingredient in its art crayons. This wax is derived from the naturally discarded outer layer of rice grown in Japan, reducing waste and energy use in production while offering non‑toxic, gentle crayons that are kind to little hands and the wider environment.

Kitpas is also recognised for its inclusive approach to work. Guided by a belief that everyone can find purpose through meaningful work, the company has built a supportive manufacturing environment where many employees have intellectual disabilities. Production methods and facilities are adapted to suit the needs of all workers, helping the company foster dignity and opportunity in every part of its process.

Together these values shape Kitpas products that support creative play while caring for the earth and the people who make them, encouraging mindful expression in every stroke.
