In 2021 Target came out with it's own brand of art supplies, Mondo Llama. The price point is a little higher than Crayola products. I was excited for it, but after buying a set of colored pencils I am not excited anymore. The pencils have no color names! Well some of them do, but not all. What? And that is a big draw back in my opinion. Color names are essential especially if the supplies are not cheap. The 72 colored pencil Mondo Llama set was 25 dollars.

Another drawback is the colored pencils do not have an AP symbol on the back of the box. That symbol means the supplies have been tested by experts and are not toxic to kids. That is super important in my book to have.
Here are some of the other art supplies they sell. I think it is interesting how they have integrated their Mondo Llama supplies in with the Crayola section. Mondo Llama sells everything from markers, colored pencils, waterbrush markers, canvas, wood art projects, paint, stickers, craft items etc. It will be interesting to see if this line last and how long. I could see getting the more craft side of the supplies, but I probably will not get the actual art supplies.

Back to the art supplies here is the swatch chart of the 72 colored pencils. There were no color names except for some colors, so I used the letter number naming system. The pencils could be labeled with the new name to be able to find it again easily.
