I'm guessing you're talking about the oil pastels. They are similar to crayons but you can blend, smudge and layer the colors more easily for effect. Start out treating them kinda like crayons and use blending stumps or your finger to smudge them. You can google oil pastels for more info.

You can use normal ones. The best ones to use are the expo neon markers. They're pretty cheap on amazon.

My 2 year old daughter uses "washable" crayons and markers and those come off very easily (wet paper towel, no scrubbing). I'm not sure about regular paints and markers.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

I think of them as a concentrated, lipstick consistency watercolors. I've used them by just applying them directly to my project or by watering them down with water. When stamping, I directly apply them to the stamp then lightly spritz the stamp with water and stamp. The results are soft but vibrant. There are tons of great videos on YouTube. That's were I learned to use the product.

The blocks are solid color that works best with water. you can cut off a piece to make a palette or you can take a wet brush and just touch the block to use to paint your surface.

The gel sticks are like using a glue stick. With watercolor crayons your 6 years old can use a paint brush with water and move the color around the project. Gel sticks are nice and you put them on the page and rub them around with the fingers. My grandson likes to move the color around with a brush and water only because he doesn't want to get his fingers dirty. Go on YouTube and get demonstrations about both products and that will be a great help to you. At 6 years old, they go from one product to another. You can buy inexpensive watercolor crayons to see if that is what he/she likes. Gels are nice but, more expensive.

Yes you can use them the same way. They are more vibrant in color. But you can also use a very small amount and make the same color more of a pastal color. I love working with them.

Yes, you can use any crayons. I used to melt my old, broken crayons in a pot when I was young to make candles and I was very happy to find the Crayola Melt 'n Mold last year for my daughter's Christmas gift. Handling a hot pot, oven or microwave is not safe for kids and it is lousy for us too so it is really good invention nowadays. I have ring, car, and plane molds and wish they have more forms.

Did anyone try the crayons on the board? I'm trying to find out before I buy it.

I bought the Crayon Chalk, & now I cannot get it to come off. Do not use that, use regular chalk.

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.

You need to get good quality fabric markersThe crayola ones I used were just okay but I would use a more liquid fabric marker if I were to do this again

If you are not sure what colors to mix, airbrush a bit of the green (or even better, yellow and blue in different ratios), then add layers of different colors over it to see what works best. Save your sample and write on it each color used, so you will always be able to make something similar again.

If it is an oil based paint you need to use paint thinner, available in the paint aisle. If it is water based paint you will use water to thin. Start with small amounts until you reach the desired consistency.

I used the black on painted marshmellows. I painted them flesh color and I drew babies eyes and bello buttons. Colors are bright enough, even the pink one was noticeable as their blush on their cheeks.

I've used other paint, but without the nice squeeze bottle it can make a mess. Might be worthwhile to get some empty squeeze bottles along with some Crayola paint. For other paper I just cut it the right size, doesn't really phase me to cut paper. I do it for a few other similar toys, in 5 minutes I can have a decent stack.
