Perfect for little hands

August 24, 2022 - By Tammy Myersfrom West Des Moines, IA

These are the perfect size crayons for little hand coloring and drawing to promote proper grip with the built-in ability to use for rubbing. I used to purchase full size large crayons and break them to promote proper grip establishment. No more having to peel wrappers off crayons and break them!!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for hands-on learning!

May 19, 2020 - By Monica Ciottifrom Johnstown PA

I appreciate the affordability of this set of 40 crayons, 5 of each 8 colors! Enough to share, made perfectly prepared for the task*, for families to use together! (*Because the crayons arrive w/o paper wrappings, its a good way to point out that other crayons keep paper on for other tasks!)

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Very difficult to hold your young preschoolers.

March 03, 2015 - By Fafoinfrom Bothell, WA

They are well made and sturdy crayons. They will not break easily. The price is good too. But, in my experience, those crayons are very difficult to hold and rub it on the paper. Especially if the kids have weak nad muscles. It was very frustrating for both my oldest and my youngest. I think the triangular crayons are better for rubbing on paper. We used it as regular crayons. It was better and frustration free for my kids.

art station must-have!

February 20, 2012 - By kinuekofrom san jose, ca

i absolutely love these and so do my kids. they are perfect for little hands and they are ready-to-use. they make beautiful rubbings and last a long time. because of their already-shortened size, they won't break into unusable pieces.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

A great buy and a great price. If you have the crayon rubbing templates or using for crafts these are a must have. The crayons are already peeled and ready to put to use. They also fit perfectly into little hands and do not break easily. I have the Lakeshore rubbing plates on my wishlist next!

Yes, I would recommend this product.
