Craft crazy

This set of crayons was given to my daughter as a present about a year ago. The set comes in a small, bright yellow cardboard pack, and the crayons themselves sit in a sort of corrugated plastic tray. Even a year later we still store the crayons in the box and it is still in good condition, so the packaging is definitely pretty decent.

Bright colours

Inside the box are eight crayons in a range of colours, so there is pretty much everything a young one could need to create a masterpiece.
What I like about these crayons is that they seem to be pretty strong. Despite a fair bit of use over the year or so we've had them, only one has broken in half, and they don't seem to run down quickly either. They are quite thick which I think helps to stop them snapping, but they are not too thick to become difficult or annoying for slightly older children to grip.
When using these to do colouring, they offer nice even coverage and the colours are bright and clear. They are fun and easy to use and compared to other crayons I have tried these are up there with the best!

Not a fave

However the negative for us is that my daughter definitely seems to like her felt tips better! Although she does use these now and then, she has always had a preference for pens so we have not got quite as much use out of these as I would have liked and, now she is three, I doubt she will be using them much more if at all.
So a perfectly good set of crayons, but they haven't been a favourite in our craft box.
These are available online for around £2-3 and are suitable for ages 12 months and upwards.
Summary: Decent enough crayons for little artists!
