1. The triangular shape means that the crayons don't roll off the table.

2. The triangular shape ALSO helps young children grip the crayon properly.

3. The lack of wrappers means the crayons are easier to sharpen, and you don't catch the kids peeling the wrappers off for the heck of it.

4. The colors are clear and bright, not like knock-off crayons.

5. The container makes it easier for young children to get JUST the crayon they want without spilling them all on the ground.

6. These are the most durable crayons in existence. They're, like, unbreakable. It's not the shape - Crayola triangle crayons break too. I don't know what it is.

These crayons are triangular, so little kids can handle them a lot easier than the round ones. They feel more like plastic than the usual wax material, making them somewhat erasable. They are extremely well made in China by a company that manufactures arts and crafts for kids (Artrain Industrial Ltd. from Hong Kong).The box we purchased from Amazon contains 24 colors and they come in a hard plastic case with a transparent lid that helps the kids keep them organized. They are marketed in the USA by the toy company "Melissa & Doug". These crayons are non-toxic, non-roll and stronger than regular crayons, our family highly recommends them.

I purchased two sets of these crayons. Overall, I'm very pleased with them.

What I like:

No wrappers!!

They are more durable than normal crayons. My kids have broken some but nowhere near as fast as they normally do. The shape and thickness helps distribute the pressue better.

The triangular shape keeps them on the table and off of the floor.

The color variety is brilliant. The set offers a better variety of hues than average crayons.

They are easier to clean off of surfaces.


What I'm not crazy about:
The smell. I can't stand the way these smell. It's not offensive, just not pleasant. My kids could care less.

The case is difficult for smaller children to open. This can be a pro though because my kids can't get into them when I'm not nearby and this puts a damper on any wall coloring plans.

Although I like that there are no wrappers, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish some of the darker shades.

Overall I give this 5-stars and I will purchase these again.
