Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Triangular Crayons - 24 pack
Customer Review: Still Testing
Summary: 4 Stars
We have the M&D big version "pyramid" crayons and my daughter has enjoyed them, so I ordered these to add to the color palette. The hardness is a pro 'cause then they do not break easily as regular crayons do when toddler/preschool pressure on the paper. The hardness is a con 'cause these don't work well on cheap grocery store coloring books. Infact M&D crayons work best with decent paper on a hard surface.
This more multi-color set certainly opens up a wider variety of hue which just expands her understanding of color. The crayons themselves were a bit smaller than I expected. First thing she did was break one, purposefully, with two hands. Immediately asked me to fix it, and was disappointed when I knew I could do nothing. :/ Since that first experiment though she's enjoyed them.
Customer Review: Perfect for air travel
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of airplane travel with my children. My oldest loves to color, but at the slightest bit of turblance, his regular crayons roll off his tray and toward the back of the plane, lost forever. I had found a set of 8 crayola triangular crayons, but it is frustrating to color in Dover books with so few colors. I just opened these up to wrap as a pre-Christmas travel gift, and WOW! They are beautiful. The case is made from very strong thick plastic and the see-through lid locks very securely. There is a place for each crayon. I can't imagine designing a more perfect set of colors for travel. I love the small size of the crayons, as they will take up less room in his rolling case. Children who appreciate special art supplies will get an extra thrill receiving these!Customer Review: Terrible crayons-Don't understand other reviews!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these crayons for my daughter based off of the very good reviews they received from other people. I honestly can't even begin to understand WHY people say such good things about crayons. They are NOT durable...maybe they are more durable then the thinnest Crayola crayon but certainly not the jumbo crayons. The color is so light and barely there, it's not fun for young children. The crayons feel weird and are not at all like the color of the actual crayon when the color is on paper. These are the worst crayons I think we've ever used and that includes cheap crayons you get at a restaurant for kids to color with. I usually love Melissa and Doug but I am HIGHLY disappointed with these crayons.Customer Review: Consider getting this for your kid's going back to school!
Summary: 4 Stars
1. The triangular shape means that the crayons don't roll off the table.
2. The triangular shape ALSO helps young children grip the crayon properly.
3. The lack of wrappers means the crayons are easier to sharpen, and you don't catch the kids peeling the wrappers off for the heck of it.
4. The colors are clear and bright, not like knock-off crayons.
5. The container makes it easier for young children to get JUST the crayon they want without spilling them all on the ground.
6. These are the most durable crayons in existence. They're, like, unbreakable. It's not the shape - Crayola triangle crayons break too. I don't know what it is.
Customer Review: The best crayons we ever had.
Summary: 5 Stars
These crayons are triangular, so little kids can handle them a lot easier than the round ones. They feel more like plastic than the usual wax material, making them somewhat erasable. They are extremely well made in China by a company that manufactures arts and crafts for kids (Artrain Industrial Ltd. from Hong Kong).The box we purchased from Amazon contains 24 colors and they come in a hard plastic case with a transparent lid that helps the kids keep them organized. They are marketed in the USA by the toy company "Melissa & Doug". These crayons are non-toxic, non-roll and stronger than regular crayons, our family highly recommends them.
