Editorial Review

It'll be a drab, dull, cheerless day indeed, when children don't respond to the waxy rainbow charms of Crayons. This 64-pack is chock-full of everything from blue, red, and yellow, to Tickle Me Pink, Mauvelous, and Bittersweet. The artistic possibilities are endless. Besides the full-color palette, the box holds a built-in sharpener to keep the points in shape. A Try This feature suggests fun projects. The pack also gives step-by-step instructions--and example drawings--on how to create a flipbook. --Ava Natov

Product Description

You can get "red" and "blue" crayons with any old set, but with the 64 pack of Crayola crayons you get to spice up your pictures with exotic colors like "Robin's Egg Blue" or "Purple Mountain Majesty"! The 64 pack continues its tradition of being the ultimate pack of crayons with features like the built-in sharpener in the back of the package, and two-level "theater-style seating" for the crayons which makes them easier to grasp! Crayons measure 3 5/8" x 5/16".

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorites of mine as a child... and favorites of mine still today!, December 27, 2007

Crayons! Crayons are great when you get one of those creative urges and just need to draw. Crayons aren't nearly as messy as markers, and they don't need to be sharpened as often as colored pencils. The best part about crayons, though, is that if you don't have a sharpener you can just peel the paper off and keep drawing.

This Crayola set has always been my personal favorite. 64 classic colors including your basics (red, blue, yellow, etc) AND your favorites (macaroni and cheese, tickle-me-pink, etc). As if getting the crayons isn't enough, they throw in a courtesy sharpener on the back of the box. This sharpener is really handy when you're focused on your current work of art and don't have time to get up and walk to a stationary sharpener.

Another bonus about this box, versus something laughable like RoseArt, is the way the rows of crayons are arranged. They implemented the "stadium seating" feature in this box for quick and efficient switching between colors. You won't find yourself digging around in this box trying to find the rogue crayon that fell sideways along the bottom.

My only complaint with this product is that the crayons are not very sturdy. If you push too hard while trying to emphasize something, like a bald man's head with the "peach" crayon, it just might snap in half under the strain. This can be extremely frustrating, especially if you've already ruined a previous box of crayons in this way.

Also, because the crayons are cylindicular in shape you have to be careful where you set them down. A few of them rolled off my desk the other day and ended up under the couch. I didn't realize this had happened until I began vacuuming the next morning. Tickle-me-pink and Scarlet ended up lodged in the mouth of the vacuum cleaner tube, and it took forever to get them out!

One last concern. Crayola says these crayons are non-toxic, but that does NOT mean they are ok to eat. I know it's hard to resist that macaroni-and-cheese crayon (I'll be honest, I took a bite out of mine), but don't let the name fool you. NONE of these crayons taste like their name.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 64-pack of fun..., March 23, 2006

This review is from: Crayola 64 Ct Crayons (Toy)

With this many crayons, the coloring possibilities are nearly limitless. All the classics are here, like Red, Yellow and Blue...and with 64, this box attacks the continuous optipal spectrum of colors from wavelengths of 380nm (Violet) up through the high end of Red at 740nm. The only thing better was if the folks at Crayola could create ultraviolet or infrared.

These rank low in durability...our 64 pack of crayons multiplied to 128 just one day after purchase...and now we're somewhere at about 300...our son can't get enough of breaking crayons.

My only wish is that they would offer the 64 color set in the 'washable" variety.
