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)

Bought these for my art class, the colors are great, and well worth the money. However, a con is they do tend to break in half a bit easily.

When my son's class was learning an art technique with pastel chalks and milk I got him a stencil and this set of chalks to help him participate. He has some mild delays that make art difficult. The stencil made it easy for him to make a picture he is proud of. These chalks ensured he would have the colors he wanted for his stencil. He enjoyed the project so much we hope to repeat it over the summer when time is not as tight. One of the reasons I was willing to add these chalks to our art supplies is that we have the black of charcoal drawing pencils and these add a nice option for color that could be combined with those.

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.

Most vibrant chalk ever. I use this for an advertising chalk board at a wine bar and it turns out gorgeous everytime.

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

Perfect and none broken. Great

The colors are nice but the pieces are thinner than I was expecting. I would still recommend them for a chalkboard.
