My son is now two and a half and LOVES to do art projects. Color, glue, paint, bead, make stuff with play-doh, the whole nine yards. But since he's two and a half he's not always the most careful with certain items, which is why I have a large box full of broken crayons (which will eventually get melted down into crayon pucks to color with). This Christmas we decided Santa was going to get him a huge collection of various art things and while shopping for crayons I discovered that Crayola makes crayons that come in a plastic container that you twist up like a tub of lipstick. They obviously cost more than a regular box of crayons, but were only about $2.50 for the box we picked up. And honestly I'd pay twice that to not have broken pieces of crayons ground into my carpets.
These are all of the fun and high quality of Crayola brand crayons with none of the breakability, a huge win in my household. And because they're longer than your average crayon they give my son more room to hold onto and fit nicer in the pencil holder built into his craft table. And no more guessing what color it is once the paper comes off (black, blue, green? Nobody knows till you ruin a picture because you grabbed the wrong color) since the plastic tubes are colored to match what color the crayon is. Overall I give these a resounding two thumbs up!
