Crayola features packs of multicultural crayons for kids to more accurately depict skin tones when creating their drawings and art projects. Often times, there are very few options, which end up excluding many skin tone representations around the world.
The website describes the product's purpose as "it’s a great big world out there, kids can use these multicultural crayons to create more inclusive drawings.” In addition to the crayons, the brand also features its washable markers in the range of tones as well. Some of the colors in the pack includes mahogany, peach, tan, white, sepia, black, apricot, and burnt sienna. It is packaged in a portable box, sized to fit in a book bag and brought to and from school for kids.
