1.0 out of 5 stars These crayons are terrible, April 17, 2009

These were the first crayons I bought my toddler. They are marked washable and yes, I am able to remove marks from his play table. Other than that they are terrible. My son is really pretty gentle with his toys and they break easily. They don't retain a point. The colors aren't rich or deep.

They break, they break, they break...I break them, my husband breaks them, my toddler breaks them...

Within a month of regular use we have a stubby little pile of nothing. I know there are good crayons out there. These are not them.

I am really surprised at the negative reviews of these, because we love them. The triangular shape makes them easy for my daughter to hold and they don't roll. The colors are just fine, especially for a 20-month old who mainly scribbles and makes dots and lines. We have made many many beautiful drawings with them.

I don't know what people are doing to make them break so easily. My daughter's favorite thing to do is draw. Her crayons get ample usage at least every day, sometimes several times per day, and they get used hard, too. A few of ours have broken, but only after lots of use. We don't treat them like they're fragile. However, she is usually supervised and has been taught not to put them in her mouth, so if kids putting them in their mouth and getting them very slobbery is what's causing the breaking problem, that could be the case. If it is, I don't think that should be blamed on the crayons. They are not designed to be put in your mouth and shouldn't.

The best thing is the washable part, and I didn't even buy them because of that. My daughter made a few marks on the wall one day, and to my relief, they wiped off VERY easily with just a wet rag. I didn't even have to use a cleaner or scrub hard. A few months later, she got some regular crayon on the wall, and it took me a long time and lots of hard scrubbing to get it off, along with a lot of paint. She's actually very good about only coloring on paper, but accidents do happen and kids have to learn, so it's bound to happen once anyways. If you're worried about it, or your little one has a tendency to wander off the paper, I would definitely recommend these to ease your frustration.

I got these crayons for my son's easter basket when he was 18 months old. He LOVES them. Every day he asks to play with his "colors." They do a great job of not rolling away, and apparently they taste good too! The only thing I don't like about them is that they break pretty easily. If he drops one on the floor it is guaranteed to be broken, but he does not seem to mind coloring with parts of crayons.
