Toys and Games Reviews of Alex Toys Rub A Dub Draw In The Tub
Customer Review: Comparison between Edushape and Alex bathtub crayons
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying the Alex "Draw in the Tub Draw In The Tub Crayons (6)" crayons a few times, we wanted to give the one by Edushape(Edushape Bath Crayons) a shot. Instead of writing a review of both of them, I thought Ill write a comparison between the two to help other customers pick the one that suits them the best.
1. The "Draw in the Tub" crayons come in two versions although the product description doesn't say so. The cheaper one does come with the sponge ducky cleaner while the expensive one does. The crayons in the expensive packRub a Dub Draw In The Tub are longer resulting in more crayon write and playtime for the kid. The Edushape crayons are pretty small- about the size of the cheaper Alex version. The ducky sponge cleaner is good to have but once you have one, no point in going for the expensive pack.
2. Both crayons come off relatively easily- "relative" being the key word. If its erased soon after bath time, it comes off quickly without leaving a mess. If allowed to stay on, it gets harder to remove- occasionally warranting a bathtub cleaner. The Edushape crayons are a trifle harder to clean if you allow them to stay on for a day compared to the Alex version.
3. The biggest grouse I have with the Edushape one is that it crumbles pretty quickly compared to the Alex version. Both sets of crayons are designed for no more than a couple of days of use but when dropped and allowed to stay in a mug of water (yep, my toddler loves doing that), the Edushape crayons disintegrated fairly quickly.
4. Both sets of crayons come with 6 colors and they last one to two showers. No more than that. The bigger Alex crayons last for 3-4 days.
5. The packaging for both brands is deceptive in that the crayon holder is significantly longer than the crayon itself. The crayon holder is also pretty useless in holding the crayon intact. Not sure whats the real point behind the crappy holder design for both products.
6. A minor quibble with the Edushape crayons is that two of the colors- purple and yellow are so light that it requires special lighting to be spotted on a cream/white tub. I wish they chose darker colors instead.
Note that I plan on putting up the same review for Edushape crayons since this is a comparison.
Overall, both products are less than satisfactory but given the choices or lack of it in this segment, one gets to choose either of the two and go with it. I wish there was a third brand that truly created better bath crayons for kids. Seeing how much my toddler enjoys it, I would gladly pay more for a better product!
