crayon ornament

Common materials include polyether, resin, and glass.

Sizes vary by product. Example listings show heights of about 3.5–5.12 inches, widths of about 1–3.5 inches, and depths of about 1–4.1 inches (all approximate).

Many crayon ornaments come with hanging accessories such as ribbons or strings suitable for hanging on a Christmas tree.

Finishes vary by style: some glass ornaments are mouth-blown and hand-detailed, others are hand-painted and glittered, and craft kits use scratch-off paper with a colored layer underneath.

Most listed crayon ornaments are intended for indoor use. At least one glass ornament in the listings is described as suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Scratch-off craft kits are described for children and classroom activities and are designed for little hands. Other ornaments are also noted as suitable gifts for teachers or daycare workers.

Scratch-off kits typically include wooden sticks or styluses for scratching and ribbons for hanging.

Scratch-off ornaments are paper shapes (for example, multiple tree shapes) with a rainbow-colored layer beneath a scratch-off coating. No glue is required—users reveal the colors by scratching with the included wooden sticks.
