We gave these to our 22 month old son for Christmas and he did’nt want to stop playing with these crayons. He likes stacking them up ’till they fall down – and they don’t break. We enjoy counting the crayons together and naming each of the colors. They’re very easy and fun to hold either with your finger inside the crayon or in the palm of your hand. For the lighter colored crayons you have to press down somewhat hard to actually see the color on the paper. I like that they don’t roll off the table!

I bought these crayons for my son to refine his tripod grasp and to provide a fun new crayon. To my horror, these things have a faint chemical smell. That can’t be good. They also are easily broken if you have a rough toddler(26mths) boy such as mine. That said, he loves them. He likes stacking them, counting them, coloring with them, and even pretending he is making ice cream cones with them. I would not buy these again, despite him liking them. I can’t get over the chemical smell and the lack of durability considering the age group they are marketed to.
