5.0 out of 5 stars THE coloring tool for the preschool set! January 8, 2009
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I have four children ages 7 and under (plus another due any day). So, I've had plenty of opportunity to discover how art supplies can lead to disasters. After marker tips had been chewed off by our first two children, I decided that markers and little children were not the best combination. After crayons were chewed on, and the drool ended up on the carpet, crayons were not on the favored list either. Plus crayons break easily. So, our coloring utensil of choice in this household is the colored pencil.

These are wonderful colored pencils for the toddler/preschool set. Very easy to grip, cute designs on the side, don't break, less messy than other coloring options. I definitely recommend these colored pencils for toddlers and preschoolers. I just wish they were more easily found in local stores. Since they're not, I was very glad to be able to order these through Amazon.

These are fat crayon / pencils.... not exactly colored pencils, and not crayons..... but more like crayons in a 'wooden' pencil like casing. They are durable and strong and we completely prefer them over regular crayons. Worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for toddlers! May 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
My 3 1/2 yr. old daughter loves these colored pencils. They're easy for her to grasp and color with. They are a little too pricy here on Amazon because there's a shipping charge, but I couldn't find them anywhere in a store. Glad I bought them, but wouldn't again because of the cost.

Update: Feb. 23, 2010
I finally found these at Michaels Arts and Craft store.
