The Very Hungry Caterpillar Oil Pastels: 36 Colours

Almost anything a crayon can do an oil pastel can do better. While crayons are the most common kid’s art supply, oil pastels are more vibrant and more versatile which makes them just more fun to colour with!

Oil pastels are softer than crayons, making colouring large spaces or colouring really heavy, vibrant colour much less tiresome than with crayons.  

Eric Carle, beloved by so many the world over, produced artworks that match with the development of children, working on the development of their artistic abilities. He was skilled in using bright colours and creating a unique collage effect. From his artwork, children feel warm and it quells their fear of the unknown world.
