The kids just wipe them off if they need to. I store mine in the crayola classroom box too. I give one or two kids the job at the end of class to sort. Sometimes I just don't care and use the old ones in a small bin on the table and not worry about mixing for certain projects. Like my Impressionist landscapes where I want them to mix colors to create the painting effect. I'll post those on my blog soon!Jennifer Matott (Sigmagirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03432187935920496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-30968957467608541932011-01-29T18:46:12.626-05:002011-01-29T18:46:12.626-05:00I love the big crayola ones!

I have them put them back in the box (sorted at the end of class) They take the colors they need at the beginning of class because they are getting pretty independent. So when I discovered they threw the oil pastels in the box without sorting. . . I sent the box up to the classroom teacher and they reorganized them in their classroom (I can be a little crazy about clean up sometimes I guess.) But they brought me back an organized box of oil pastels and won't mess them up again anytime soon or two teachers will be on their case. Helps to work with great teachers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782513928143522368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-61313046534307800972011-01-29T18:32:20.896-05:002011-01-29T18:32:20.896-05:00My oil pastels are always a mess.

But I still haven't gotten around to the chalk pastel rice trick so it may be a little while before I try this.

I like Pentels, which come in tray like boxes. The lids get torn but then I slide the trays into zip lock bags. My tables are named (with signs on little wood "table people" like "Picasso table", Khalo, etc - the artist's picture is on the table man) and I identify each zip lock with its table name. I do this because some tables seat more kids than others, so those tables need more sets of pastels. As far as cleaning, I've never thought too much about it. I have the kids just color a bit on the newspaper covering their table (if they need to) before marking on their good paper. That cleans of any extra color pretty well. As I think about it, though, I rarely have the kids use oil pastels on any project where pristine colors are necessary.Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-68964094407203229362011-01-29T14:37:42.992-05:002011-01-29T14:37:42.992-05:00I really love oil pastels, so they don't last ...I really love oil pastels, so they don't last too long around here. I think the biggest trick for oil pastels is to keep the colors separate. I keep the original boxes around for as long as possible, then have little cups for each color. If they are even stored together, they seem to become more of a mess. I've never used oil to clean them, nice idea. I usually just wipe them with a paper towel.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142817054375318711noreply@blogger.com
