STAEDTLER Noris junior 224 Wax Crayons, Wallet of 18 Assorted Colours, Chunky Hexagonal, Paper-Wrapped, EN 71

The STAEDTLER Noris junior 224 (224 C18) is a wallet of 18 chunky wax crayons in assorted bright colours — STAEDTLER's first wax crayon for young children, nurseries, kindergartens and family craft time.

The crayons are thick and hexagonal, so small hands can grip them and they do not roll off the table. Each crayon is paper-wrapped for clean hands and extra strength. The colours are bright and lay down easily for colouring large areas, and they suit a wide range of painting techniques. STAEDTLER states the crayons are dermatologically tested and conform to EN 71, the European toy-safety standard.
