4.0 out of 5 stars Why I like Crayola pencils, October 21, 2009

This review is from: Crayola Long Barrel Colored Woodcase Pencils, 3.3 mm, Assorted Colors, 12/Set (68-4012) (Toy)

I bought Crayola pencils for my 5 and 8 year old children because I needed something for them to color with in the car that does not melt on the seats. Crayons just weren't cutting it. The pencils have been very nice to have around. The 12 count boxes have just the number of colors to satisfy their creative urge.

The tips are finer than a crayon, of course, so they must spend much more time coloring a picture. However, they also have more control, so the pictures come out looking lots neater.

My kids press hard on the tip to make their colors more bold, but the lead does not break. It's a pretty hard pencil.

Given the choice, my kids still prefer crayons, but they will use the pencils on occasion, or when we are out and the only thing available are the colored pencils. In time, I'm sure they will begin to favor the pencils. They are definitely my choice for car trips.

We've tried these and the rose-art brand and hands down, Crayola is the best. They last longer, don't crumble in the sharpener, and the colors are more vibrant. Plus, the kids don't have to press so hard to get a nice color from them. My husband even uses them to grade papers! Great product for every day household use as well. Only ones we buy now. Highly, highly recommend!
