Chalk and crayon FAQs

What is a crayon made of?

Crayons are made from wax (like beeswax or paraffin wax) and a colour pigment that can be either natural or synthetic in origin. Crayon colours are bright and bold!

What is chalk made of?

Raw chalk is a type of soft and porous rock made from calcite. The type of chalk we use in art is made from gypsum, also known as calcium sulphate. Chalk colours are usually pastel.

How to remove crayons from walls

Crayons will melt under heat, so one of the best ways to remove crayons from walls is to take an old t-shirt or cotton rag and fold it a few times. Place the folded material over the crayon and the iron over it to help transfer the crayon from the wall to the shirt. If you need to iron more than once, make sure to always flip and twist the shirt so a clean layer is going down.
