How can you accurately draw the human population without an appropriately diverse array of colors? The team at All of Us offers a counter to traditional boxes of Crayola with its skin tone crayons in eight different hues. Made from beeswax and natural pigments, the collection is entirely hand-poured and is available in three shapes: triangles, rounds, and blocks. “I started making crayons in my kitchen because all children deserve to be seen,” All of Us founder Sabine says. “They deserve to have their smiles drawn on paper, in shades true to their identity.”

Only block-shaped crayons are available in the All of Us shop at the moment, although you can follow the company on Instagram for stock updates and a glimpse into how the tools are made.
