• Drawing and Outlining: Use the tip of the crayon for fine lines and detailed work.
• Coloring Large Areas: Use the side of the crayon for broader strokes to cover larger areas quickly and evenly.
• Blending: Apply colors lightly and layer them to create new shades or blend existing ones. Increase pressure for more intense colors.
• Texture Rubbings: Place a textured object under your paper and rub a crayon over it to transfer the texture.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Crayola crayons.

• Storage: Store crayons in their original tuck box or a dedicated crayon container at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause melting or softening.
• Cleaning: Crayola crayons are designed to be washable from most non-porous surfaces and skin with soap and water. For best results, clean marks promptly.
• Handling: While double-wrapped for strength, excessive pressure or dropping can still cause crayons to break. Handle with care.

6. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Crayon Breaks: If a crayon breaks, it can still be used. Smaller pieces are often useful for coloring small details or for crayon rubbings.
• Dull Color: If the crayon tip becomes dull, gently rub it on a scrap piece of paper to reshape the tip or use the side for broader coverage.
• Crayon Marks on Surfaces: Refer to the cleaning instructions in Section 5. Most marks can be removed with soap and water. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
