Faber-Castell - Watercolor Crayons

Watercolor Crayons

Young artists draw vibrant scenes, then transform them into paintings with water

Faber-Castell designed these crayons to eliminate the frustration young artists face with traditional watercolor palettes. Kids draw directly with water-soluble wax, then activate color with the included brush or by wetting the crayon tip itself, no palette mixing, no muddy water cups, no complicated setup. This direct approach lets children focus on creating rather than wrestling with materials.

Fifteen vibrant colors provide sufficient range for expressive work while remaining manageable for small hands. The crayons blend and layer when wet, teaching color mixing through immediate visual feedback. Sturdy wax construction withstands the pressure young artists apply, while water-soluble pigments transform confidently from waxy marks into flowing watercolor effects.

The finger-smudge technique particularly appeals to tactile learners who understand art through touch. Children can control water intensity themselves, light brushing for subtle washes, heavier application for bold color fields. This hands-on process builds confidence and encourages experimentation without the intimidation factor of conventional watercolor sets.
