Invented by Children.

I have been wondering that as well. They also seem to look like crayons. Other wise I'm really not that sure of why they look like chalk.It may look like crayons and chalk, but I think it may be out of oil. But then it might have to feel like oil is put in the pastels. I used them, but I'm still not sure. They must look like chalk and crayons because: 1. Chalk almost looks like pastels because it has the same size and shape. It even feels like chalk. 2.Crayons have thoes wrappers around it. That is what pastels have too. It looks like crayons, but it has no tip.

Is pastel chalk the same as chalk?

No, it's not. Pastel chalk or soft pastel is easier to blend and draw with because it is softer, hence the name, soft pastel. Soft pastels are made of ground pigments, gum tragacanth, and a filler. Chalk simply has a dye added to its mixture and is harder. Unlike pastels, chalk is made up of gum Arabic which washes off with water.
