Stockmar 16 Block Wax Crayons

Stockmar Wax Blocks in a tin of 16 offer children an expanded world of colour, texture, and creative discovery. With a wider selection of beautifully coordinated shades, this set gives young artists the freedom to explore more detailed drawings, experiment with colour combinations, and develop their own artistic style through open-ended expression.

Unlike traditional crayons, the unique block shape invites children to interact with colour in a completely different way. The broad sides create bold areas of colour, while the corners and edges can be used for finer lines, patterns, outlines, and delicate details. This versatility encourages children to explore the relationship between movement, pressure, and colour as they discover the many ways a single art material can be used.

The larger surface area of Stockmar Wax Blocks makes them particularly enjoyable for expressive artwork. Children can sweep colour across the page with wide, flowing movements, layer different shades to create depth, or combine colours to discover new tones and effects. As confidence grows, these simple blocks become tools for experimenting with techniques such as colour blending, scratching and transparent layering.

Each Stockmar Wax Block is made using a carefully balanced blend of waxes, including approximately 10% natural beeswax, together with high-quality pigments chosen for their exceptional colour intensity. The inclusion of high-purity microcrystalline wax gives the blocks their smooth texture, excellent durability, and ability to build up colour without becoming sticky or losing their vibrancy.

The natural beeswax content provides a gentle sheen and subtle honey fragrance, adding a sensory quality to the creative process. Comfortable for small hands to hold, the chunky design supports developing grip strength and fine motor control, making these blocks a wonderful choice for young children as well as older artists who enjoy their unique artistic qualities.

Presented in a sturdy metal tin, the 16 carefully selected colours remain organised and protected between creative sessions. The expanded colour range makes this set especially rewarding for children who regularly draw, paint, create seasonal artwork, or enjoy exploring the natural world through art.

Trusted by families, educators and Waldorf schools worldwide, Stockmar Wax Blocks are valued for their thoughtful design, responsible production and exceptional quality. Certified non-toxic and free from common allergens including soy, egg, nuts and gluten, they provide a safe and inspiring way for children to explore creativity for many years.

Beautifully made and designed to be enjoyed again and again, the Stockmar Wax Blocks Tin of 16 is a versatile addition to any creative space, offering endless opportunities for imagination, experimentation and artistic growth.

Stockmar products are carefully crafted using ingredients such as pure beeswax and high-quality pigments, ensuring vibrant colours, excellent working properties, and safe, non-toxic materials for children.
