We do not recommend the use of traditional Crayola art products for intentional direct skin contact. Products designed for face and skin painting require specific testing and approval for this purpose.
However, we think you will love the Crayola Face & Body Crayons! These non-toxic crayons allow you to color right on your skin. They clean easily off the skin with soap and water. Check for them at a major retail store near you.
If you have additional questions, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to call or text us at 1-800-CRAYOLA weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. If you would prefer to send us an email, visit our contact us page.

Crayola does not control the prices of our products at retail. We sell our products through a network of distributors and retail stores, including brick and mortar stores and online retailers, and recommend they establish fair pricing. Retailers and independent third-party sellers that offer products online through established retail sites can set their own prices and may significantly reduce or increase the cost of a product based on their selling strategy. For example, some retailers will lower their prices on certain products during the back-to-school season to attract customers or compete with other retailers.

While we don't manufacture a specific sharpener for Crayola Colored Pencils, hand-held sharpeners are the optimal choice for achieving a precise point. We recommend them over electric or crank-style sharpeners. Hand-held sharpeners with dual holes offer versatility for most standard-size and larger pencils.
Recommended Sharpeners:
- Standard-size colored pencils: Brass Bullet Pencil Sharpener and Chubby Pencil Sharpener. You can view these sharpeners on the NASCO website or call 800-558-9595.
- Large-size Write Start Colored Pencils: Helix Hand-Held Sharpener with two holes. Find this product on Blick Art Materials using product code #21401-0100, or call 1-800-447-8192. Some eye pencil sharpeners from beauty supply stores may also work!
Note: Crayola Color Sticks don't need sharpening, but you can achieve a fine point with any handheld sharpener that has a 15mm opening.

Decorating sculptures made with Crayola® Air-Dry Clay is fun and easy!
- Paint: Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic, or watercolor paint
- Markers: Non-Permanent & Washable Markers may not provide optimal coverage if you are coloring a large area of clay since the clay tends to clog the marker nib. Permanent pigment-based markers work well for writing words on the clay.
- Glitter Glue can be used to decorate dry artwork.
Other product suggestions: pigment-based stamping pads and metallic powder pigment embellishments.
