Being a teacher in community education, I love this line for its inclusiveness So Much! Please make this in chalks so my chalkboard pictures for the class and community can be just as easily diverse!
The world population will always become more and more brownish, and it seems much sexier to identify as "toasted marshmallow", "hot chocolate" or "buttermilk cream". Crayola could have started the new standard with early education, viral hashtags, record sales with this product line. #toastedalmond #crayola #colorsoftheworld
I appreciate the diversity featured in these lovely set of crayons, but I can't help but notice there is no white crayon. Where is my albino representation? This issue must be addressed posthaste!
As an artist and art teacher of children, I think Crayola needs to go back to the drawing board, research, and actually include colors that can be used to create colors of skins around the world. Crayola is missing the mark with only shades of "rose," "almond," and "golden" representing the world's skin colors, which actually include beautiful purple-black tones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your assessment on our new Colors of the World crayon colors. The 24 new colors were developed leveraging the basic elements of cosmetic foundation, encompassing three undertones – rose, almond and golden – and skin tone colors ranging from Extra Light to Deepest. We understand that teachers play a critical role in shaping children’s creativity, imagination and self-expression, which is why we rely on your feedback. We will certainly pass along your request to add more darker shades to the collection to our Colors of the World Team. If you'd like to share more about how we can improve on this product or need further help, please contact our Consumer Care Team at Crayola.com/support. Wishing you all the best for a colorful and creative summer!
I love the idea but our dog loves to eat crayons. We use the twistables instead but the colors are very limited.
I would recommend this to a friend!
