Shippensburg, PA – The Beistle Company, a leading manufacturer of consumer products and accessories for the education market, today announces two new Crayola Desk Shields to support children in school.  The Crayola Color Your Own Desk Shield features a three-sided design that provides protective barriers for students in the classroom.

“As schools look for the best way to resume classes, our goal is to provide solutions that support learning while helping create a safer environment” says Russell Wiest, President, The Beistle Company.  “Our new Crayola desk shields provide a fun and creative way to accomplish this.”

The Crayola Carry-With-Me Desk Shield features a two-sided design with integrated hand slots to make the desk shield easy to carry between classrooms.  It also features a clear window and integrated coloring pattern.
