Washable Crayons 36 Colors, Kids and Toddler Crayons, Watercolor, Non Toxic, 3 in 1, for Kids Ages 4-8

These are the best crayons ever! They are so much easier for my 20 month old granddaughter to use than regular crayons. The colors are amazingly vibrant and she is encouraged to color more than she ever did before. Her mother is an artist and graphic designer; she was blown away by the quality of this product. My daughter is in charge of the art department for her church and she is going to buy these for them to use. I was originally concerned that Baby Girl would twist the crayons and break them, but she hasn't done that at all. That is likely because her mother turns them up when she isn't looking;-) Also, she enjoys putting them in the container. They wash out of fabric and skin well....as you can see from the photo, her mother lets her color on the sofa.

These drawing sticks make beautiful, smooth, colorful marks and are really fun to draw with. They blend similarly to an oil stick, but are water-soluble like tempera. I mistakenly ordered them, thinking they would dry immediately. As drying time was crucial for the workshop I was giving, they didn't work out for my specific needs. Nonetheless, I was impressed with the cute packaging and nice product. My return request was approved promptly with no fuss, so I would still return to this seller and recommend this crayon as an interesting media that combines the creamy, blendable texture of oil stick with the water-soluble features of tempera.

I recently taught a women's class and the class members were asked to complete a campfire scene using these gel crayons. I don't have kids so I was concerned about how vibrant the colors would be--I needed this 16x20 campfire image they would draw on to be seen from quite a distance. I toyed with the idea of using acrylic pens--but they were too fine; wax crayons were too difficult for amateurs to get good results and then I found these NOYO Gel Crayons! Just from the description and reviews I knew these crayons could pull it off. The gel crayon colors are brilliant and clean--bright while all the way to deep black. I used watercolor paper for this campfire scene (which was 'pitted' rather than smooth--smooth would have been a better option) and the crayons went on like lipstick--very smooth, wide lines, filled in all the dimples; I thought the end result was terrific. Most class members wanted to know where I found the NOYO gel crayons. Kids and adults alike can use these NOYO gel crayons by hardly moving a finger.

Overall, we are very pleased with these and recommend them to all our friends! Pros: Smooth glide makes it easy to color, many color choices. I got these for my daughter when she was about 2.5 and they are still her preferred coloring tool at 3. She likes these better than crayons, markers, and colored pencils. She will color with these for much longer than with anything else. I credit them for really getting her into coloring! They are fun to use because they are soft and glide really well on the paper so she can color a large area quickly. We also like the large color assortment. We have been using them almost daily for the last 6 months and her favorite colors are just now starting to run out. I will definitely be buying more! Cons: Not completely mess free, but washable. Case arrived cracked and one crayon lid was missing. These are soft and sometimes when she colors hard some larger chunks will come off and these tend to get smeared on the floor or her sleeves. I wouldn't let her use these on carpet. It does wipe up easily off of the floor or table and washes out of clothing. It will also rub off the paper onto other papers or fingers. Also, the case these arrived in was cracked and one of the crayons was missing a lid. These don't dry out (yay!) so it's not that big of a deal, but it did not arrive in perfect condition.

I can’t believe I just discovered these crayons they are the best!! Beware though around your couch! The colors glide on smoothly.

Bright colors and comfortable fit for small hands. Easy to blend colors for additional effect.

Awesome great super messy crayons for a 2/3-year-old, in my opinion or for my messy toddler… There was oily pasty crayon everywhere, my dresser my floor my kitchen counter I don’t even know how It got there… In my opinion this would be an amazing product for a child with a little bit more dexterity control and impulse control LOL which mine has none at this time… But as soon as she does, these will be awesome… I do Love that you can leave the cap off and it seems like they don’t really dry out easily…IF at ALL! ***That is key for an art medium with a small child… In my opinion it’s just not for a very small child unless you are giving them 100% direct supervision… If that’s the case then this is the crayon for you. They are beautiful and the colors are amazing. I can’t say anything to the colors coming out in the wash when they make it to closing, but I can say that they did not super easily come off of services but this is potentially only due to my daughters sneaking around and heavily marking on my things/furniture LOL… Which is my fault, not the crayons. Just giving a full warning they are not a miracle no problem crayon… I wish there was one!

I wanted to use these for a coloring book I bought from Amazon.. They said to try crayons.. they were the best for these pictures. But maybe they meant regular plain old crayons.. cause these were way too bulky to use with this book.. I noticed they say you can mix then with water to get a watercolor affect.. I tried but I just made a mess. Lol.. They seem to be good quality I just picked out the wrong crayons.,
