These are the best tub crayons I have found for my 2 yr. old son. The shape of the animals fit his hands and are easy for him to hold. Also, these are the only tub crayons that the crayon doesn't slip out of the holder when my son is trying to write on the bathtub wall. I do have a tip for all the parents who want to refill the cute round bottomed holders and not have to purchase more each time the crayon in them runs out. I have found if you buy the regular crayola triangular crayons (they come in an 18 pack for $5), rip off the paper, cut the crayon in half and push it down into the animal holder till you hear a little click noise (that means the crayon is basically locked in place in the bottom of the holder) and presto! you have a refill for your cute round tub crayons. I have found the triangular crayons wash off just as well as the ones that come packaged with the holders (I think they are even the exact same crayons!!) I'm not sure crayola wants this secret out, because now we can just but the triangular crayons as refills and save our money by not buying a whole set when the crayon in them runs out!!

My 15 month old loves these! He draws on the bathtub and the bath walls. The crayons fit in his hands great - unlike regular crayons or triangular crayons.

The purple-pink shade does leave a stain behind that requires extra elbow grease, but overall these are great.

They float in the water and still draw even when they get soaked. In fact, my son draws on the floor of the tub while he bathes too.

My daughter loves these crayons, and they last a long time, and we have never had any problems getting them to stay in the holder or cleaning the marks as others have said. I also love that they float, keeping the crayon part out of the water so that it doesn't turn to mush like other crayons we have tried. For a long time my big concern - and I know others have felt the same - is that the refills are IMPOSSIBLE to find, and it's expensive and wasteful to buy a whole new set of crayon buddies each time you run out. Finally I emailed Crayola about the refill situation, and it turns out, they don't even sell refills at retailers. However, they sent me a package of 12 refill crayons, free of charge. So overall I love the product; and I'm happy that I was finally able to GET the refills, but I knocked off a star just because of the hoopla you have to go through to get them!

These would be great if I could find refills. I can't find them on Amazon, at Target, on the Crayola website...

The crayon kept falling out of the holder and would not stay in. I put them back in according to the directions and they still fell out.

Lots of fun for my 4 yr old and 17 mo old BUT...when we went to clean it off at the end of bathtime, the crayon drawings faded but were clearly still there even after scrubbing with Softscrub, Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaner, and even straight bleach! Our house is not even a year old, I hope the marks will fade over time. I would NOT recommend this product.

I love these! My 18 month old son loves them ...we color on the walls and say "byebye" and he erases them by rubbing his hand on them.

Hint - make sure the walls are wet first - then no color residue. Although even if it does residue, some extra rubbing or Scrubbing Bubbles works great. Red does stain a bit, but comes off with Mommy's help. As long as the walls are wet, nothing leaves color behind!

Would get 5 stars if I could find refills ...don't know if I want a bagillion creatures because I have to keep buying a new set everytime the crayons are done!

These crayons are great. My 23 month old daughter got them as an early birthday present, and she loves them! They are easy to use and the color shows up nicely on the bath tub walls. I thought they were very easy to clean off, just wiped clean with a wet washcloth. Would definitely buy them as a gift for someone else. The only negative was that they did wear down kind of quickly. Just have to get some refills!

What a great bathtime activity! I like that you can replace the crayons once they have worn down too!

I got these for my kids (age 4 and 2) because they like to play in tub and because they both can play the same toy. After they finish drawing, I give each of them a scrub to clean them, they dont go very easy, you still have to use soap, but worth the fun..

Although I tried getting regular triangular crayons as refill as one of the other reviewer mentioned, they were no writing in the tub as the original ones, in fact, not writing at all, so I threw these "TaDoodles" away.

Fun for one time.. In a way, I am kind of happy they are done, started to not like the idea of my kids in colored water..
