We used watercolor paper and water-soluble oil pastels for this project. These pastels are so rich and creamy, but also deliciously blendable. My favorite brand is Iron Orchid Designs but they don't make them anymore!
So Faber-Castell Gelatos are a good substitute. Gelatos come in twist-up tubes, somewhat like lip balm, which keeps your hands clean. They are available in lots of yummy colors. Here is what I could find on Amazon:
Original Gift Set
Brights (set of 12)
Red Cherry, Bubble Gum, Lemon, Mango, Margarita Mix, Lime, Snowcone, Boysenberry, Lavender, Orange Soda, Passion Fruit, Limoncello
Iridescents (set of 12)

Just a note that I also use Orange Soda and Limoncello from Brights each time I do the Famous Inventors block, paired with The Day-Glo Brothers: The True Story of Bob and Joe Switzer's Bright Ideas and Brand-New Colors.
