Sea Crayon
Crayons made from the colors of the oceans that exist on Earth
12 "colors without names" created from satellite photos of the world's oceans. The colors are represented not by color names but by longitude and latitude indicating the location of the ocean, and by reading the QR code on the package, you can learn the reason and background of each ocean color.
The beauty and unexpectedness of the colors is an opportunity for people to experience and become interested in the earth itself, and to eliminate the preconceived notion that "the ocean = blue" and increase sensitivity to colors.
The crayons are made from only honeydew, animal and vegetable fats, and pigments that conform to the European Toy Safety Standard (EN71 Part3 2013), making them earth-friendly and safe for children to use.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the crayons will be donated to the Republic of Kiribati, which is facing the threat of rising sea levels, to be used as a natural disaster fund to help combat the damage caused by climate change.
