Jenny's Crayon Collection: Slick Stix

In 1998 Crayola introduced the Color Slicks line in US and Canada. The crayon formulation was different and would go on the paper smoother than a regular crayon. They were a lot like an oil pastel. These did not last long and were not made again. In 2004 Crayola introduced the Slick Stix line that is a twistable. These are still around today.

The back of the box says, "If you really love coloring, you're going to love Crayola Color Slicks. No more pressing down hard or coloring over and over to get those bright colors. Crayola Color Slicks glide on smoothly and create rich, vivid color for hours of coloring and drawing fun."

1998 16 Color Slicks Crayons

The Crayola Slick Stix first came out in 2008. The best description I can give of the Crayola Twistable Slick Stix's is they remind me of lip stick, the consistency and the fact they are twisted to get more out. The Stix's glide on the paper smoothly and leave a rich vibrant color behind. The gold and silver are sparkly. The consistency of the Slick Stix are softer than crayons. When used the sides of the stix can move if pressed too hard. I let my two year old son use these crayons and the window crayons from the My Color Is boxes and regretted it because he became a little wild with the crayons and altered the shape of the tip. They are also not stain resistant. For these reasons I do not recommend these for younger children, but for older responsible kids and adults.
