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

Not happy with the quality of the Crayola Slick Stix. I bought 2 sets of them and both packages had several broken stix that end up being useless. The white one in both packages were gooey, all cracked and broken. The white one is the whole reason I bought this product. We needed the white stix for a special project and we totally wasted our money ----- very disappointed in this product. Too much plastic in the packaging, the caps are hard to remove, they smear all over the kids hands and sleeves ----- thank goodness, they wash off and hopefully wash out of clothes.

We LOVE these crayons! I don't think they are the best for little children, but all the older children and adults in our household love them. They are really, as the name implies, Slick! They glide super easy with Intense color; awesome for making posters! One of my adult daughters is buying some now for when her baby gets older, just in case they quit making them. I can hardly find them at stores anymore, so I am very careful with the ones that I already have.

These are wonderful. I first got the crayons that write on windows, then got Re-Coloritz and these are the same crayons that are used in those products. I got this set to give my 3-5 year olds more colors for their Toy Story Re-Coloritz. It's too bad they don't sell Re-Coloritz anymore because now that I have this set, it makes me want to color them even more! (More color varity!) I highly recommend them for any age over 3!

When they say slick, they mean it. These are the smoothest "crayons" I have ever used. My kids love them. My only concern is that since they go on so easily, they seem like they won't last very long.

I took these for a weekend visit with my granddaughter, and she loved them. She could take the caps off and put them back. Twisting the color up was easy for her. We did put a plastic sheet on the table top, since she was so excitedly drawing that she went over the edge of her "papers" a few times.

Highly recommended.

Don't buy these unless you want to scrub or replace your carpets. "Minimal supervision", yeah right, more like "lay down a tarp". Within seconds my little one had multiple stains in the carpet. Some of them came out after vigorous scrubbing and some professional grade carpet cleaners. Like stated above, these are like lipstick, only in different colors.

Bottom line is that these might be okay if you have a teenager, but for anyone below 12 or so, these are asking for a stain on the carpet. Stick to actual crayons or something like the markers that require the special paper.

These crayons are very cool. They are like super slick pastels. The children enjoy using them at the easel and they are less of a mess than paints. The colors are bright and fun too. My only complaint is that the red slick stix stained our new berber carpet. I have tried everything to remove it to no avail. I thought crayola made products that were washable. Beware that this is NOT washable..
