wax crayon

Child's drawing tool

A wax crayon is a coloring stick made of pigmented wax, used especially by children for drawing.

The wax base allows smooth application on paper and makes the marks resistant to smearing.

Often shortened to just crayon: The kids left wax crayons all over the floor.
