 great way for kids to decorate synthetic fabrics December 16, 2007
Crayola Fabric Crayons contain a kind of dye, Disperse Dye, which works well when ironed onto all synthetic fibers such as polyester, but washes right out of natural fibers such as cotton.
Just give your children some paper and these transfer crayons, and have them draw and color their own pictures. It's best to color fairly heavily, brushing off any crumbs. The colors will look quite dull on the paper, but don't worry. After an adult irons the pictures onto any synthetic fabric, the colors will be bright and pretty, and the designs will be permanent and machine washable.
For best results, select a white 100% synthetic fabric with a smooth weave, such as polyester satin or nylon taffeta. Any synthetic fiber will do - polyester, triacetate, acrylic, or nylon - but avoid modacrylic and polypropylene because they will shrink under the heat of the iron. Blends which contain at least 50% polyester or nylon will also work, but the colors will not be as bright. Avoid fabric made of 100% cotton, rayon, linen, silk, or wool, unless you are transferring a design that you want to wash out later.
Don't confuse these fabric crayons with ordinary wax-based Crayola crayons for paper! They look so much alike that you may need to be careful to keep the fabric crayons out of the box of regular crayons.

I am not giving 1 star because this is a bad product - it just isn't a TOY! Following the directions, they worked very well. I did think from the picture they were larger crayons and I also thought it would come in primary colors, ie: green, not army green, red, not dark pink, etc

I have always enjoyed using fabric crayons with children's art work.
If you do not use quality fabric crayons it SHOWS very quickly once you iron the fabric.Crayola is a name you know you can trust , and the fabric crayons are just as wonderful as all crayola products.
