Advantages: easy for little hands, good colour range

Disadvantages: none

These are fantastic 1st pencils. my daughter started using these at approx 18 months.

They are a really good size for little hands, not to long and not to thick to hold, each pencil has fun characters printed along the side in the colour of the pencil so children can quickly identify which colour they want. The quality of the colours in use is fantastic and range suitable for early colouring and I have found that you dont have to oversharpen them meaning that they last for ages.

These pencils do sharpen really well, although it is worth remembering you need a large holed sharpen for use with these.

Additionally, unlike other pencils, they dont break when kids apply too much pressure onto the nib. I have tried alternatives, however, we always return to Crayola due the quality of the product. I have also foudn that now the little one has started trying to write, she can get a more comfortable grip with these pencils as opposed to the thinner versions.

Seeing as they are only priced at under £3, they are worth the money

Summary: Buy them, just dont forget the pencil sharpener!
