Non Toxic Artist Pastels,Square Soft Pastels Set,Chalks 12/24/36/48 Colors Soft Dry Pastel Artist Chalk Pastel Sticks for Office School Art Drawing Painting Supplies Professional Art Pastel (24Pcs)

I'm trusting that the pencil-like shape of the chalks keeps them from meeting the same fate as all the previous chalk sets I've used over the years. Apparently I am clumsy, and the top of my craft desk is a hot mess...I can find things better when chaos rules my arting and crafting. Inevitably, my chalk sets end up on the floor, where I miss one or two during the cleanup, and end up walking on them and grinding chalk into the carpet. I have some very distressing areas of weird colors ground deeply into the carpet fibers. I'm thinking of installing a non-sticky barrier over the lower half of each layer of chalks to hold them in place. Must put on my thinking cap.

Me gusta es como lo esperaba

I didn't consider the se a hard pastel. All that though I liked the texture. I found they layered nicely over one another. I think they are great for textured sanded papers. I don't think I would try to use them on any other surface. I did find I had to rub them a little at first to get the shiny coating off. I only had the 24 set so I was definitely limited on colors. But overall, it's a nice set to travel with or if you don't want to spend a ton of money. They are smaller then I expected.

Loved these pastels when I first started using them and their vibrant color they gave to my art!

Perfect and none broken. Great

Great colors, easy to scrape & brush on. Use them to make Polymer clay food look realistic. Great pigment

These were rock hard, not soft. The square type used for shaving and shading. I was hoping for the soft pastels which are easier to draw.

They are far smaller than I expected. About the size of a large birthday candle. And they came in a very small box. The picture suggests many many pastel chalks. It's a small box. They break easily. That being said, the children are enjoying using them.
