Using nine vegetables and one fruit from the enormous variety grown in Japan's farms as inspiration (cabbage, leek, yam, burdock, corn, carrot, apple, cassis, purple potato, and bamboo charcoal), the people at Mizuiro have made this beautiful set of crayons that will get your creative juices flowing. The Mizuiro Vegetable Crayons are non-toxic and 100% safe for children, so you can be sure that they can draw and play as much as they like. Recommended for children ages 3 and up.
