This morning I discovered that there is such a thing as the "Giant Crayon" and I couldn't be happier. Although I may be the last to know about this amazing advancement in coloring technology, this realization in no way dampens my excitement at the prospect of one day collecting them all. At the moment it is unclear whether or not these massive implements of creativity come in sets and as a lone massive crayon cost around $25 before shipping it is unlikely that a set would cost any less than $100 if only the basic four original colors are included.
A set of eight then being estimated at $200, there are textbooks which cost less...
Crayons, although they may seem like a child's plaything are that and so much more. The fact that there are now options ranging from the miniature to the massive is mindbogglingly amazing to me, a coloring enthusiast. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be easily melted into a mold for the perfect form or design. This addition of the giant crayon, however, can only mean great things.
The scope of coloring projects can now expand at a much larger rate. Imagine the time saved when filling in large areas of solid color. Art made with melted crayons can take on a new dimension where instead of sacrificing multiple standard crayons to get the pigmentation desired, one now only needs to melt off a small layer of wax from their "big brother of sorts."
Its safe to say my excitement probably goes above and beyond the norm for coloring supplies, but let's be honest, the addition of giant crayons is at the very least a big deal.
