I actually gave a lot of thought to spending this much money on a set of crayons for a 1 year old, but these crayons are worth every penny! They come in a really nice plastic box (which we always put them back into). They are obviously triangular, so they will not roll off your table. These crayons are also stronger somehow than their crayola equivalents (they are also thicker). They have no pesky paper on them (for someone to tear off in little pieces...) yet they remarkably resist breaking. I can't tell you how many times these have been dropped from the highchair to the tile floor below with no breakage whatsoever (we have been using for roughly a year). My little one even likes just playing with them (and not coloring). Since they are a little harder than other crayons, I do find that a couple of the colors don't color as vibrantly as other brands, notably the pink. They are also not marked as "washable" but we have not had any problems with that aspect either. Overall, this is a nice, durable set of crayons that may actually last until you have used up the whole crayon.

These crayons are great. They don't get all over their hands when coloring, they're strong and don't break like other triangular crayons do. And the container they come is is awesome! Even when the little ones help you pick up the crayons just automatically fall in to place! My only complaint is that the colors are not very vivid. Little ones just learning to color don't press down very hard so the color can be pretty faint. And the red crayon is more like a light orange. Minor complaints. My grandson LOVES these.

I love these for my toddlers! Perfect and don't break as easily as Crayola. Also love the storage case. Colors are perfect and glide well on all manners of paper and materials...(ahem...including walls *rolls eyes*). Great for little ones.

I love the case and they are sturdy, haven’t broken yet! Also appreciate how they don’t roll. I just left off a star because the purple and pink are super light and you have to push really hard to see them which my 2 year old daughter can’t do.

These are hands down the BEST Toddler Crayons available! They're perfectly sized for little hands to grasp onto & not get frustrated with! They are also EXTREMELY STURDY as well! My almost 2 yr Grandson who could destroy a tank without breaking a sweat has had these crayons for 5-6 months now & NOT A SINGLE ONE IS BROKEN! Not even chipped! These are definitely the most incredible Crayons available! He used to get bored or not show much interest in coloring due to the combined frustration of not being able to grasp on to regular ones and when he did they'd almost immediately break every time. Leading to him either melting down or just not bothering with it much. Not with these Crayons though! I have art work all over my house! Both on paper & on the "walls" leading to the next best thing about these....there very easy to clean up after mistakes or intentional drawing on surfaces I'd rather he didn't. A quick wipe with 409 or even disinfecting wipes & everything is back to normal! I can't say enough good things about these Crayons! Seriously even the container they come in is fun!!

I purchased these for my 14-month old so he could start becoming familiar with writing implements and the like based on the good reviews I read here. I know he's too young to use them properly, but I wanted to have them on hand.Pros:They're a good size for holding, and the bold colors are great. They write very smoothly which will be great when the time comes, and they seem pretty durable.Cons:The biggest negative is that, because of their shape, you can't really use the sides of the crayons unless you're very specific about lining up the triangular corner against the paper. The flat part doesn't really leave any color behind, which was definitely frustrating for my toddler since he obviously didn't know how to use them properly - when he rubbed them on the paper, nothing happened. I leave the review because I imagine for artists it must be annoying as well to not easily be able to use the flat side for shading, etc. Also, I purchased these crayons primarily because a prior reviewer had said that her kid didn't eat these like she did other brands - not so mine. As soon as it went in his mouth, a large purple sliver broke off and stuck to his tongue, which was pretty funny to see him try to get off, but left him covered in purple, me a bit worried, and the crayons on a shelf until he's older. They are a plastic blend, by the way, NOT petroleum-free (which they never stated, but I saw non-toxic and assumed - my fault.) The pale colors (pink especially) are quite pale and hard to see on white paper.They're okay, probably great for a three or four-year old who is learning to write but still needs chubby implements, but for youngers I'd splurge and go with the beeswax brands, and for olders I'd get something a little more conducive to subtle artistic usage.

My 15 month old LOVES these crayons and so do I. We first purchased a pack of the triangular Crayolas because they were readily available at our local store. They broke very quickly and left color stains on her hands. Looking for something different we tried these based on the reviews. They are sturdy, easy to hold and have their own plastic carrying case. A couple have broken but were stepped on by adults, otherwise you would be hard-pressed to break them. As others have mentioned, they are not as "soft" as Crayolas so they require a bit more pressure to mark, however, this has not been an issue for my toddler at all and the added stability has actually helped her learn how to hold them better. If you are diligent about keeping them in the box when not in use, I can see them lasting a VERY long time. We love them so much we also purchased the larger pack of smaller triangular crayons for when she grows out of the big fat ones.

Ideales para los más pequeños, al ser más anchos se adaptan a sus dedos para adaptar mejor la técnica de escritura

Best crayon! It does not break easily, does not roll and easy to hold. My son loves it so much and I’m ordering another set if it.
