Bean Chalk
$25
Designer: Nikolas Bentel
Manufacturer: Areaware
Material: Chalk
Dimensions: Each piece measures 1.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 in
Care: Keep in a cool, dry place
These are not magic beans, but the chalk masterpieces you create with them will look like straight-up wizardry. Thanks to their curly and interlocking shape, you can double 'em up to draw with two of the twelve colors at once. Or, if you're more of a minimalist, keep it simple with a single bean. On second thought, maybe they are kinda magical?
