CHALKBOARD CHALK
Designed for chalkboards, these ground pigments are a school room favorite and come in a variety of colors and grades. They can also be used for detail in sidewalk drawings, in conjunction with sidewalk chalk that comes in larger sticks.

PASTELS
Soft pastels - Finely ground, pure pigments in an extra-fine kaolin clay binder. Sometimes these sticks are paper-wrapped.
Hard pastels - Hard pastels that are easy to use and produce very little dust. Richly pigmented, these pastels are ideal for sketching and tight drawing with the edge of the stick, or using the broad side to lay in large areas of color.
