Do you offer bulk packs or classroom value sets for whole-group instruction?
Absolutely. We carry classroom value packs and multi-packs designed to outfit your entire class without straining your budget. Options include sets with hundreds of
crayons, markers, or
chalk sticks, ideal for whole-group lessons, learning centers, and art rotations.
What grip styles and sizes work best for PreK and kindergarten students?
For younger learners, chubby and egg-shaped crayons offer an easy palm grip that supports early fine motor development. You'll find jumbo chalk sticks, triangular crayons, and dabber dot markers, all designed for little hands.
Can I find multicultural or skin-tone crayons and markers for inclusive art projects?
Yes. Our Colors Like Me line from Colorations features eight unique skin-tone shades, available in both regular and large crayon sizes. These multicultural options help children see themselves in their artwork and support social-emotional learning themes.
Are dry erase markers compatible with mini whiteboards and lap boards?

Do your sidewalk chalks and outdoor art supplies hold up to active outdoor play?
Our sidewalk chalk, especially the jumbo washable sticks from Colorations DustLite, is built for outdoor creativity. These chalks are easy to grasp, wash cleanly from pavement, and come in vibrant colors that inspire big drawings and playground games.
How do I choose between colored pencils and crayons for my grade level?
For PreK and early elementary, crayons, especially chubby and triangular shapes, offer durability and ease of use. As students develop fine motor control in grades 2-5, colored
pencils provide precision for detailed work, shading, and layering.
