Faber-Castell Beeswax Crayons in Durable Storage Case, 24 Vibrant Colors

Picked these up after Crayola broke my heart, and WOW. The difference is instant. Smooth laydown, rich pigments, zero wax chunks. They actually blend instead of fighting the paper. Even the light colors show up clearly. You can feel the quality the moment you touch them—they’re like the luxury spa version of crayons

These are good quality and good colours and the carry case is great too. I bought 3 packs for around £8 each, though I see the price is almost double now, and some places are selling them for over £100..do people pay these prices?? I was happy paying £8 for them, but feel £14.00 upwards is a bit pricey .... 5out5 for quality, but I believe they are too highly priced on Amazon now.

I bought these as a gift for my niece (age 1) and nephew (age 3) because the jumbo crayons they had were broken and came in only 8 colors. This set hits a good combination of quality, variety, and price, and I’m pretty sure I’ll purchase more in the near future due to frequent use. Usually my niece and nephew lose interest in coloring after 10-15 minutes, but we spent hours coloring the first day, and the day after (and apparently the third day, based on feedback from my brother)! My niece is in charge of picking crayons for everyone, and she was delighted to have 24 colors to choose from. We didn’t have to push down so hard to get rich, dark coloring from these crayons, so I was able to help my nephew work on holding his crayon in a better position. One negative, though, is that the paper slides down the crayons fairly easily. One more positive: my nephew enjoyed using the container as his suit case when pretending to check into a hotel. The tray is easy to remove and reinsert as needed.

Great quality, vibrant colors. Easy to use by young toddlers.

Nice vibrant colors, smooth to use. Good size for 16 month old hands. Container is nice and solid, great for transport. Update: 9/27/16 So since my first review, my son has eaten a chunk of the turqoiuse crayon. He chewed the chunk into crumbly pieces. It must not have tasted as yummy as it looked because he bought it to my attention by handing me the remaining crayon. He's owned the crayons for sometime by then and I was under the false impression that he no longer had interest in eating crayons (the truth is I never gave him an opportunity until then). I was able to dig out most of the crayon from his mouth and rinse his mouth with water, but still I was freaking out and mad at myself for leaving him unsupervised with it while I washed dishes. The next day, i found little crumbs of crayon in his stool- looked totally undigested. The plus, is he's gotten crayon-eating out of his system, literally. He'll walk around with a crayon in his hand but he's lost interest in eating it. Sometimes he'll tease me by holding it next to his mouth and grinning, but its just to see my expression. He's also colored on the walls (just once- I caught him hiding in the corner doing the deed behind his diaper pail) and accidentally rubbed pigment on the bedding, carpet, clothes, and rugs. The crayons are soft so the simple act of trodding or sitting on the crayon will leave marks on the surface. It doesn't help that my son peeled all the paper wrappers off too. The great thing is with a little wet wipes or Shout stain remover- the crayon marks wipe right off! There is still a faint crayon residue on the wall but I think a Magic Eraser will take care of it. We still love these crayons! So much easier to use then crayola.
