Review on 🎨 Crayola Crayons 24 ct (Pack of 2) - Colorful Fun with Double the Crayons! by Marv Merritt

Hello, dear friends and readers of the site ! As soon as we noticed the child's interest in painting, we decided to purchase a set of wax crayons. The choice is large, both in price, and in format, and in the number of colors, and, of course, in quality. A box of 24 Crayola wax crayons caught my attention. Reviews are mostly positive. These crayons are recommended from 1 year old. At the time of purchase, the child was a little over a year old, so I was especially pleased with the picture that the crayons draw even with light pressure (easy grip). Information about the manufacturer, as well as confirmation of product safety. Appearance - photographs with flash and without. The dimensions of the crayons are as follows: 7 cm in length and a little more than 1 cm in diameter. We have already lost a part under the chest of drawers, because the crayons roll easily due to the rounded shape. The colors are mostly bright, some are pale, some are saturated. Many shades of green, pink, blue. There is even a white one, but it is of little use. Color palette (partially shown): They fit well in a child's hand, they do not slip out. The child asks to get them, then drags the box to all corners of the house, hides the crayons ... In a word, he fell in love with them. What I didn't like about them was the disgusting smell. Strong, felt even a meter away. Has not faded in 5 months of use. When I gave it to the child for the first time, he even threw them away from himself. Another disadvantage is that the crayons crumble. There was a moment, I was even frightened of red specks on the child's hand, then I realized that it was from chalk. PROS: + Do not break when dropped. + Bright palette of colors, many shades. + There are 24 colors in the set. + Draw even with light pressure, especially important for kids. + The child enjoys drawing and playing with crayons. MINUSES: - - - Disgusting strong SMELL, the first reaction of the child is to discard this "byaku". Then, however, I got used to it. - Price - 429 rubles. For this price you expect better quality. So I think it's overpriced. - Due to the rounded shape, the crayons are easily rolled off the table under a chest of drawers or a sofa. Getting it is difficult, so by the end of the day we usually miss half the box. - They crumble. I will not take these crayons again and do not advise anyone, mainly because of the smell. *** Amazing life! Today, visiting my grandmother, they again took up their favorite pastime. Grandma takes out crayons, and I understand that they are the same brand of Crayola, in which I managed to be disappointed. However, in another version, the crayons turned out to be much better. Due to the fact that each crayon is wrapped in paper: + the smell can be caught only if you smell it specially, + crayons are more pleasant to hold in your hand, there are no crumbs left. True, unlike the first sample, the crayons are more brittle. The child easily draws lines on paper, although there is no special sign "easy grip". The colors are just as rich and vibrant as the other packaging. And finally, I want to capture a package of crayons, which is really worth paying attention to if you want to keep your kid busy with drawing. TOTAL: Comparing different packages of the same manufacturer, I can draw the following conclusions: 1) Most likely, the manufacturer wanted to make stronger crayons for babies from 12 months old that would not break when dropped (1st package), but did not take care of the smell. The smell is extremely unpleasant and persistent. 2) The manufacturer has decent crayons in a wrapper (2nd pack), which I can recommend for children's creativity. The only thing you have to make sure that the baby from a year to three does not bite off and does not eat a piece. Crayons are brittle, this must be borne in mind. In general, I rate Crayola crayons as a four. Colorful and easy to use, but not without cons. If my review was helpful to you, please click "YES" below. Thank you for your attention!
