Crayola has introduced both markers and crayons for toddler hands. I give both thumbs down. Both come appx. 3 to a pack for $5.99. Too expensive for throwaway garbage.
Markers: These are round, like little animals for their hands, which was cool. BUT, the marker head does not protrude, which is difficult for them. You are supposed to push down to get the ink out, since there is NO CAP! Bad, because after use, there is still ink on the tip which does come off. But the toddlers have a hard time coordinating the pushing down to make it work, and because the marker part doesn't protude, they have a hard time knowing where the tip is to draw with. DD consistently tells me, "It's not working!"
They also came out with crayons using the same packaging. Good idea, once again; bad execution. The crayons fall out of the ball, or are easily pulled out by a mischievous toddler. The crayons are small in size, and there are only 2 per ball, with no refills included.
I'm better off buying a pack of markers and crayons.
