— April 12, 2012 — Eco

The final product takes the shape of miniature LEGO individuals that look insanely cute. They can be used as desk-adorning pieces or actually for coloring, though one would probably not want to ruin the figures.

These crayons offer nostalgic appeal to adults while preserving the fun of coloring for children. Kids and "kidults" alike will surely want to keep a set in their memory box. Each set includes eight figures and specific colors can be requested. A perfect combination of play and art, these are sure to be admired by children with a creative imagination.
