Sieglinde de Francesca recommends these for children in grades 1 & 2. It can be a very interesting exercise to work only with the primaries, and have to carefully blend and layer them to get the effect you want. And far cheaper than a set of 32 crayons for $72.00!
Sigi has two books about this lovely method of drawing:
They used to be available on Amazon but she just has them in her online shop now at teachwonderment.com.
Her Fables book is my absolute favorite resource for this classic Waldorf grade 2 block!
I was looking back through my previous posts to see what I had written about working with Block Beeswax Crayons in Primary Colors. I found a post from 2012 which states that single crayons (you only need carmine red, lemon yellow, and ultramarine blue) were available for $1.50 each. So the current clearance price of $1.57 apiece is pretty inflation-busting!
And here is my 2013 post: Book Review - Coloring with Block Crayons. (Naturally, instead of a CD she now offers streaming videos.) I still have a few of the little pouches my students sewed!
the Stockmar color numbers are
carmine red - 01
lemon yellow - 05
ultramarine blue - 10
