P'kolino Hexagon Crayons

Did you know that not all animals can see in color? Humans have three kinds of color-recognition photoreceptors in our eyes, which combine to pick up over 100 gradations of color. Most other mammals only have two kinds of photoreceptors, making some colors difficult to see. Sea mammals are an exception, with only one kind of photoreceptor – which makes perfect sense, because everything underwater is blue, anyway!

We’re glad that we can see all the beautiful and vibrant colors of the world, and the P’kolino Hexagon Crayons are a great way to introduce them to your child. The unique ergonomic shape of the Hexagon Crayons make them easy for small children to grip, and keeps them from rolling off the table, too. And like the rest of P’kolino’s art supplies for kids, the Hexagon Crayons are made with high-quality materials that make them easier to use: the bold pigments don’t transfer to your child’s hands, so no messy paper wrappers are necessary, and the crayons are sturdy enough to handle rough treatment.

The P’kolino Hexagon Crayons set includes 9 crayons; for ages 3 and up.
