Can I TELL you how much I love this? I remember as a kid HATING that crayon that they always described as "flesh" coloured -- it certainly wasn't the colour of MY flesh!
off to find some for my daughter now...

This will be so great for my Girl Scout troop, when they are coloring in puppets and stuff.

Karen, "flesh" wasn't the color of anyone's flesh. I am not a ghastly shade of pink. Crayola was not singling you out. Equal opportunity horrible.
I love this idea. The girls range from as "flesh" colored as me (Rebecca) through a beautiful bronze (Rochelle). Elcie is somewhere in between.
I hadn't given it any thought until now but they leave the faces and limbs blank as well. Rochelle draws diagonal lines across the face when she draws pictures of herself.
Now all I have to do is find them. This is our last day of school so the timing is perfect.

My sister is a soon-to-be art teacher and I saw these in one of her boxes of supplies a couple months ago. She said they are not only great for the kids, she likes the colored pencils for her own use too (yes, they have those too!)

Ah-ha! I was just thinking in the car the other day how I used to color myself this hideous shade of peach. *looks at skin* PEACH? I'm buying a pack for both of my children, though Nick will have to wait ... awhile. :)

I dunno.... I never thought about the "flesh" colored crayon when I was a kid. I'd just use it as a base, and use other colors over it, and blended until I got the right color. Of course, I also have an artist for an uncle, but it gave me a good lesson in how colors work together. I'm not saying this is a bad thing... I think it's pretty cool. But a part of me is saddened because it's just one more place where companies are taking the thinking part out of play.

I don't think they are necessarily taking the thinking out of playing. I think they are making play more thoughful of others. Because our children play with such a diverse group of friends, now they are able to express that with their artwork. I think it will make them think, instead of just leaving everyone blank, like we did. Maybe it will help our children grow up to be better people and improve the prejudice in the world.

I agree with you Michelle! I am the mother of biracial children and 14 years ago it was impossible to find things that reflected my children (or any children of color for that matter). I'm thankful that there are finally companies (of which I am one) stepping up to the plate and considering ALL children when producing products!
