Wax crayons have long been a beloved tool for young children, offering a simple, mess-free way to explore creativity. Their waxy texture glides smoothly across paper, making them ideal for small hands just learning to express themselves through colour and shapes. Crayons are durable, vibrant, and can withstand rough handling, which is why they’ve been a staple in childhood art for generations.
Similarly, gel highlighters—also wax-like in texture—bring the same smooth, effortless application to a more grown-up setting. These highlighters are perfect for adults, teachers, and students who need to emphasize important text in books, notes, or documents. Unlike traditional liquid highlighters, gel highlighters won’t smudge, bleed through paper, or dry out quickly, making them ideal for frequent use.Â
While crayons open up a world of imagination for young children, gel highlighters deliver precision and functionality to adults and learners, offering a modern twist on a wax-based tool.Â
