Who it's for
- Children who love choosing colors and are past the "chunky crayon" stage.
- Families who want one dependable crayon box for books, printables and drawing.
Who should skip it
- Young wall artists: these are not washable; choose Ultra-Clean washable crayons.
- Toddlers: thin crayons snap in small fists; large crayons are easier.
Worth knowing before you buy
- The built-in sharpener is for crayons only.
- Peeled wrappers make crayons snap more; leave them on for younger children.
- Crayon is waxy: color it first, then add pencil details on top, not the other way round.
