I like this crayons my daughter likes them too. They are thick. My only complaint is that the package I purchased doesn't have a pink crayon.

Update: After over a month of abuse, the only crayon that broke was snapped in half because my daughter literally jumped on top of it at a weird angle. She has eaten a large chunk off the tip of dark blue and yellow (a budding Van Gogh? For toddlers, it seems, happiness truly can be found in the consumption of a good, bright beeswax yellow). I wouldn't recommend feeding these to your kids for snacks, but considering the speed of their hand-to-mouth action, I'm glad I can rest assured that these are truly non-toxic and generally very difficult to bite into (giving you extra time to wrestle the crayon from your toddler's death grip and calm those tortured screams as you explain in vain that crayons are for art and not for eating). The paper has amazingly also stood up to being slid up and down, scraped against teeth, thrown on the floor, torn at, rubbed against toys and furniture - you name it. I'm really impressed. These crayons are vibrant and smooth and easy to draw with. I bought them to teach my 13 month old how to scribble, and she instantly took to them and loves making wild lines all over her sketch pad now. They easily washed off our enamel tabletop and tiled bathroom walls, but I have yet to experience any marks on the drywall or on wood. Will update if (hopefully not) I ever have to try and remove anything like that, but Mr Clean's Magic Eraser usually works wonders with those kinds of marks so I am not too worried. I have long been a fan of Faber-Castell, having used them myself for art and their pencils, erasers and pastel highlighters in school when I lived in Germany. Other reasons for five stars: The plastic case is a unique and well-thought out addition that holds up really well to grabby little hands that would have torn or eaten straight through cardboard. The large size makes them easy for my one year old to hold in her fist, and the triangular shape is supposed to eventually help her learn to hold the crayons between three fingers. They are extremely durable and have held up well to being bit into, thrown, stood on and slammed repeatedly into a pad of paper for what I can only assume was supposed to be a stippling effect. They are some of the cheapest beeswax crayons on Amazon, but come with 12 great colours. Like all kids crayons, they are non-toxic. I would definitely recommend these and will purchase again once these have worn down to nubs.
