Children's Favorite Drawing Supplies: "Crayons"*
When it comes to favorite drawing supplies for small children, "crayons" come to mind*
The smooth texture of crayons makes them an item that captivates both children and adults alike◎
You can buy crayons at 100-yen shops, but…
I discovered a very stylish and wonderful crayon that you can't buy at a 100-yen shop, and I'm excited to share it with you♡
mizuiro's "Vegetable Crayons" are Wonderful*
The crayons I'm introducing this time are mizuiro's vegetable crayons from Aomori*
Popular enough to be used in high-end gift shops and numerous kindergartens and nurseries, mizuiro's vegetable crayons are made from real vegetables, extracting colors to create these organic crayons!
It's said that the representative, Naoko Kimura, who is also a mother and graphic designer, had the inspiration to create them while preparing dinner, thinking "It would be delicious to draw with the colors of vegetables."
Furthermore, there is a lot of buzz about the eco-friendly aspect of purchasing discarded vegetables from local Aomori that can't be sold in the market and turning them into pigments.
They are incredibly kind to the Earth, the local community, and of course, children♩
Gentle Colors Made from Real Vegetables and Flowers*
When people think of crayons, they often imagine bright, artificial primary colors, but
mizuiro's crayons use real vegetables and flowers as pigments, resulting in gentle color tones that are very attractive*
There are three types available◎
☑ Vegetable Crayons
☑ Flower Crayons
☑ Rice Crayons
Especially, the vegetable crayons are characterized by all 10 colors being made from discarded parts of the vegetables and fruits named after those colors, such as cabbage, green onion, and burdock.
