Crayons, Markers and Colored Pencils

Chalk, Watercolors and Paint Sets
The white chalk is made for children's chalkboards and works on construction paper, cardboard and kraft paper. The watercolor set includes a paintbrush and eight washable paints in a plastic case, and its bright colors wash from skin and most children's clothing with soap and water. The kids washable paint set comes in bright, vivid colors and is non-toxic.
