I have had a few parents remark about the supply list and how I request Crayola crayons.
Over the years, project after project, drawing after drawing poor Roseart comes out lacking. After seeing numerous supply lists, it appears that other teachers also rely on Crayola.
Here are two specific reasons why I lean toward Crayola:
- Crayola crayons last longer. They are least resistant to breaking and hold their point longer.
- Crayola crayons colour better. They appear to have more colour in them and less wax. The Crayola colours are more intense. According to the photo above, there can't be more wax in Roseart crayons because they would melt quicker. But look at the intense colour of the Crayola crayons as they are melting. Wow!
- Also Roseart crayons leave clumps of crayon as you colour with them. Crayola crayons colour more smoothly.
