I bought these on the recommendation of a friend, for my 18 month old daughter. She has been disinterested in regular crayons because she has trouble pressing hard enough to make a bright, strong mark - and these are perfect for solving that problem. The consistency is similar to pastels. She doesn't need much pressure at all to make richly colored artwork, and she's really enjoying that.

Obviously this product is intended for older children, so be aware that toddlers will need help with the caps, the "twist", and that these are much messier than normal crayons. They are not as washable either. If all that is okay with you (and it is for me - we just cover her up, roll up her sleeves, and put down plenty of paper), they may be great for your toddler as well. That said, I think these are really great for older children and a nice change of pace from crayons or markers.

I love these crayola's for my son who like most kids break crayons. I had a hard time finding these and finally looked them up here and found that I could purchase the 12 twistables instead of just the five. Love it and will continue buying them from this buyer. Fast shipping

I have used this product with a 3 yr old girl and we both love it.

Pros: The texture is super smooth. It glides over any paper or cardboard surface with no effort what so ever. The colors are vibrant and creamy and the trace very thick and dense. It is too thick to draw with it, but great for coloring. You can cover a lot of ground with very little effort, specially because you don't have to recolor the same spot twice. The thickness of the pen makes it very easy to manipulate for a toddler. I like the twist off feature (longer durability, easier storage, no need to sharpen). The seal of the cups and the crayon is perfectly calibrated: tight enough that my one year old cannot remove them but easy enough for the 3 year old.

Cons: All the cons probably related to the age of the user. My toddler presses too hard on the paper and there is some minimal crumbing at the tip. Even when used correctly the color takes one minute to settle, so expect a certain amount of it to transfer to skin and cloths, specially sleeves. She constantly drops the crayon open in the floor which results in color transfer. It washes off extremely easy with plain water or a wet wipe from skin, and clothes - still you probably don't want to use the crayons near a clear toned carpet.

In summary, this is not a product for a toddler to use unattended, but with minimal supervision is tons of fun. Highly recommended
