Crayola Mini Colored Pencils (Colors may vary), Coloring Supplies for Kids, 64 Count, Gift

These are very short, as advertised. Probably sharpen like twice before they go down to short. but, great selection of colors and very sturdy. Also has a built in sharpener!

The pencils are short. Perfect size to put in an upcycled B&BW empty candle jar with lid. Good array of colors. Pencils move nicely on paper. Last long time. Great for kids to use.

I bought these as a gift for an eight year old family member who loves to colour. These are perfect. The set is 64 colours and there is a built in sharpener in the box. 64 is a wonderful range of colours for anyone, especially a young artist. Crayolas are frowned on by some artists, but they are good pencils, from renewable resources, in a great colour range, and very affordable. These pencils are short, so perfect for a child or someone who doesn't know if they want some Prismacolors or Faber Castell sets (each of which I have along with Conte Pencils and others) Crayolas are rather hard leads, but some vibrant colours can be achieved with some layering or some pressure. They blend surprisingly well, and they aren't waxy or oily. They are non-toxic. The lid can be held closed when not in use with a rubber band if heavy use makes it floppy. A really nice thing about Crayola is that if you don't know if you like to colour, but want something more adult than crayons, try these. They are very inexpensive, and you may be surprised at how much you can do these pencils. Since they aren't oily or waxy, colours can be shaded easily and repeatedly with a light touch. This can help a young artist learn some colour theory though experimentation. These are good for a young and up and coming artist before an investment of real money in made. These are also great to have around the house when visitors come with young ones, and you don't want to allow the use of your pencils. These pencils and some plain paper can keep children and adults happy and you don't need to keep a toy chest - just a small box of coloured pencils.Yes, you won't find many serious artists reviewing Crayola, but don't sell this set short. If you are wondering about the differences between high end pencils compared to Crayola, look at youtube and you will find some interesting videos for comparisons which may surprise you.

This was on a good sale when I got it. Great for carrying around small sets of small pencils to minimize space taken. Sharpener works fine, but makes full-size points, not small ones as come on the small pencils - but glad it is there.

This is great for school, small pencils, bright colors, quality pencils, brings a sharper attached to the box. Great for school

I bought this set for my 4 years old son for his activity books. The wood is of high quality which means it does not crumble while sharpening. The colors are lively and cover the full spectrum offering a few different tone of each color. I think short size ( 3 1/4 inches of initial length) is ideal for preschoolers whose fine motor skills are not there yet to properly operate longer versions. Besides the distance between the paper and kid's eye is way shorter than that of an adult and in that case a full size pencil would really block the eyesight preventing him see what he is drawing.I agree with the complaints about it being too short and so after a few sharpenings it gets too short to use. It think it would be still okay if they were around 4 inches but for less than 10 cents per color and an added sharpener it is still a good deal (compared to howmuch it costs in other stores).I can say they met my expectations. Consider it for preschoolers not for adults...

Perfect for aspiring artists...good quality and so many colors to choose from

The colors are off colors, which is okay, but they're so short that it hurts my hand after a while. They are still crayola quality pencils.
