I bought the crayons and the modeling dough from Whole Foods and after using the materials with my six children decided to order more from amazon. I was a bit shocked at the review so I just wanted to write one myself. As an artist and an art teacher these crayons are excellent. I simply cannot say enough. They are easy to hold for my three year old and have fallen off her art table many many times without breaking. Also, my sixteen year old who is also an artist fell in love with their blending qualities. The colors are simply beautiful!!! I am ordering a pack of the crayon rocks for all six of my children. They are so creamy and smooth that it is just peaceful to work with these as a medium for many types of creations. Love Love Love them!!

A note about the phrase "non-toxic."
Many things that are marketed to children are technically "non-toxic," but the definition has to do with a very specific number: how many rats die when fed or exposed to the product within a certain period of time. If the number is relatively low (NOT ZERO), they can stamp "non-toxic" on it and parents think it's perfectly safe to use. Google "LD50" and you'll learn something about it, or go to healthychild dot org, where I've learned a whole hell of a lot about the everyday chemical exposures that we are subjected to that over the LONG run are probably contributing to the rates of cancer and reproductive abnormalities, among many other maladies, in our country.
Remember that ordinary crayons are made of paraffin, which is a petroleum (oil) product. Do you want your kid handling and mouthing something made of petroleum? We make gasoline out of petroleum, and benzene, and other really nasty stuff. And if you've had a chemistry class, well... not too smart to let your kids chew on it, if you ask me.
That's why these soy wax candles are such an amazing idea. The only problem is that if they drop on the floor, they shatter much more easily than your traditional yellow-box mainstream petroleum crayons. So I would save them for an older kid who's not dropping their crayons all the time, like my little one does! A great product for older kids (as in, older than toddlers).

I do like the fact they are made of soy but I don't think every ingredient is completely "non-toxic". Overall they are safer than regular crayons so I prefer these. My only problem is that they don't seem to wash out of anything. My son is a little older than 2 and he has gotten some on the carpet and on a plastic bin. I can't wash the color out of either of them. They are quite brittle, as other reviewers have stated, but I have managed to melt mine back together very easily. I just light a candle, hold the 2 broken ends over it for 3 seconds to let them melt, then hold the ends together. Once that cools (less than 30 seconds) I melt the outside a bit by spinning the crayon on its side over the fire to give it a nice seal, Voila! Let the crayon cool a bit before giving it back to your child and it will be as good as new.
So, Overall I like these crayons but I recommend them for older children who don't tend to write on carpets and walls.

Highly breakable, but worth it.
Don't buy these crayons if your kid is the type to get easily upset by things like crayons breaking. These break really, really easily. Read more

Great crayons!
I'm so glad I didn't get the Crayolas. These are plenty colorful, durable and I'm betting they're going to last a while. They also don't stink like the chemical crayons. Read more

Simple Color
Basically, I bought these as they are non-toxic. Though they aren't the 2000 color Crayola box that I had as a child (with a sharpener in the box!) - they ARE safer. Read more

These break into several pieces when dropped just a few feet. The colors also are not "brilliant", just normal. Read more

Beautiful but fragile
It's worth every penny to me to buy non-parrafin crayons given that they all end up in my toddler's mouth. The colors are vivid and the drawing is smooth. Read more

Great color!
These soy crayons have beautiful color and a great shape of little hands, however they are fragile so if dropped onto a hard wood floor they break into several pieces. Read more
