Crayons are colorful sticks of wax that are used to draw and color pictures. They are usually made of wax and come in different sizes and colors. You use them to draw and color on paper, and they come in a box or pack with several different colors. To use crayons, hold the crayon like a pencil and draw. You can press as hard as you want or lightly as you want to make the crayon color appear brighter or darker.
