💡 Đồ dùng mỹ thuật — Fun Facts

People made the first crayons long ago using wax and color.

Kids have loved coloring for a very long time. Today crayons come in hundreds of fun colors.

The Crayola company has made billions and billions of crayons.

They make crayons in a rainbow of colors. If you lined them all up, they would stretch very, very far!

Chalk lets you draw on a sidewalk, and rain washes it away.

Chalk is soft and dusty. Water makes the colors disappear so you can draw again.

Paintbrushes come in many sizes for thick lines or tiny dots.

A big fat brush paints wide stripes. A thin pointy brush paints little details.

The little eraser on a pencil can rub away your mistakes.

Erasers are made of soft rubber. They lift the pencil marks right off the paper.

A pencil writes with soft gray stuff called graphite, not lead.

Graphite comes from rocks in the ground. It leaves gray marks when it rubs onto paper.

Crayons are made from colored wax that melts when it gets warm.

That is why crayons get soft if you leave them in the sun. Wax holds the color and slides smoothly on paper.
