Craytastic! Bulk Black Unwrapped Broken Crayons – 144 Pieces (48 Full-Size) for Crafting & Melting

This set gives you 144 black crayon pieces that equal 48 full-size crayons, each measuring 3.5 inches. These unwrapped, pre-broken crayons are designed specifically for crafting, melting projects, and silicone molds. Because they lack the paper wrapper that normally adds strength, the pieces are more fragile than standard crayons – a trade-off that makes them ideal for melting and embedding. Safety tested to ASTM D-4236, they contain no lead, phthalates, or asbestos and are non-toxic for kids ages 3 and up.

What's in the box?

You receive one box of Craytastic! crayons containing 144 individual pieces. These pieces come from 48 full-size crayons that have been broken into smaller bits. Every piece is the same single color: black. There is no paper wrapper on any of the pieces.

Why unwrapped and pre-broken?

Without the paper wrapper, crayons lose some structural integrity – they snap and crumble more easily. That's exactly what makes them useful for certain projects. You don't need to peel wrappers or manually break crayons. The ready-to-melt pieces work well in silicone molds (like Traytastic brand molds) for making shaped crayons, candles, or art projects. They're also easier for small hands to grip and use in broken-crayon art techniques.

How safe are these crayons for kids?

These crayons have been tested to meet ASTM D-4236, the U.S. safety standard for art materials. They are free from lead, phthalates, and asbestos. The manufacturer states they are non-toxic and safe for children 3 years and older. Always supervise young children during crafting, especially with small pieces that could be a choking hazard.

Frequently asked questions

Are these full-size crayons or just small pieces?

The listing provides 144 pieces that come from 48 full-size crayons. Each original crayon is 3.5 inches long. The pieces are broken smaller, but the total wax content equals 48 whole crayons.

Why are they more fragile than regular crayons?

The paper wrapper on a standard crayon adds compression strength. Without it, the wax is more prone to snapping. That's why these are labeled as pre-broken and best for crafting rather than everyday coloring.

Can I melt these crayons?

Yes. The unwrapped, broken form makes them easy to melt in a double boiler, microwave, or melting pot for use in silicone molds. They are a popular choice for making custom-shaped crayons or wax art.

Are these crayons safe for toddlers?

The manufacturer says ages 3 and up. For children under 3, the small pieces pose a choking risk. The crayons themselves are non-toxic, but supervision is recommended for any young child.

Who will enjoy these crayons?

Classrooms, daycare centers, party planners, and crafters will find these handy. They work for melting projects, broken-crayon art, or as a bulk supply of black crayons without the fuss of removing wrappers. The single-color focus makes them a good choice for monochrome crafting or building up a specific color stash.
