Mr. PenWashable Gel Crayons, 20 Pack, Twistable, Non-Toxic, Coloring Crayons

Nice colour very easy to use

Many colors

I'm a first grade teacher and am always coloring with the students. These are GREAT for my use. They are nice and dark so my students can see them on the screen. We use crayons to "highlight" different word parts (vowels, digraphs, blends, etc.), and these work nicely to color over text still allowing you to read the text. They are pretty thick, so coloring smaller things is hard--I would love for a thin version to be created. They're so smooth that they remind me a lot of oil pastels, but they don't transfer color to your hands the way an oil pastel would nor do they smear. Since they are so smooth and soft, you don't need to add much pressure at all when coloring, unlike traditional crayons. I would not have my kids use them because they are so soft--definitely great for bigger kids and adults.

Colors are vivid. Goes on creamy and smooth. However, the color transfers to your hand. They are messy. The tip is also fat making it difficult to color small/thin designs. Not sure if I can sharpen these — trying to figure that out. I like them but consider the caveats.

These gel crayons are really nice considering the cost compared to other competitors.I would recommend. They can be a little messy (but that is all gel crayons).

I bought these because I wanted to use them to create backgrounds on my coloring pages in my adult coloring books,and it works super well for that..I have purchased several Mr.Pen products now,and all of them but one has been fantastic..a few years ago I had bought a set of some of their highlighter pens,and most of them were all dried out when I got them..I emailed the company and they made it right(this company has awesome customer service BTW)...anyway,these gel crayons are great,they do really well to create nice backgrounds,not only in my coloring books but the art in my sketchbooks too..I just scribble some of the color onto the page,and I use my finger or a small unused makeup brush and blend it out and it makes a really pretty background..sometimes I use two or three colors and they don't seem to get muddy..I really like this product,and IMO the company is awesome

Product was great! But box was an open box and a color was missing.

These are amazing for face painting. My grandson loved it! He (3yrs old) likes coloring his own face too! Washes off easily. Used as drawings, they do not dry and will smudge and get everywhere so he is closely monitored while he colors in his highchair then crayons are put out of reach when done.
