Crayola Color Sticks

Comments about Crayola Color Sticks:

I enjoy coloring with my grand children with the Crayola Color Sticks. Like color quality better than regular crayons. Not as many colors as in crayon boxes, but stronger. I haven't been able to find them in my town& was glad to find them at Blicks. Great service and easy to purchase.

I purchased these for my art students in 2-5 grades. So far, they love them. They think they are "really neat crayons", even though they are colored pencils. I like that they don't need to be sharpened,(which wastes time), and you can use the whole stick, pointed or flat side. One down side is that they can break somewhat easily, as a few arrived broken. The colors are not super vibrant or creamy, but works great for most projects at this grade level. Overall, I am pleased with this class pack purchase and would buy again.

This is a great time saver! The colors are bright and bold and layer very well. I use this with my 3-5th grade students. The students artwork looks great and we did not waste time sharpening colored pencils.

This was a purchase for my 4 year old niece. My brother thanked me stating that these are much safer than sharpened colored pencils. No danger using them vs. sharpened colored pencils.

I had my third grade classes use color sticks to embellish the background of a collage project with patterns. Results were beautiful. The nice thing about them is that they are not the slightest bit messy nor do they smudge like pastels. They don't require sharpening like a color pencil which saves a lot of time in class. They are however, easily breakable if dropped on the floor which seems to happen with kids even if they are keeping them in the trays they come in. The pieces are usable but sometimes they break into a lot more than 2 pieces.

Students used these for Ball Point Pen engraving and they worked nicely.

I find these are really useful when I want to generate a draft sketch of something I'm going to do later in colored pencil or pastel. The colors don't smudge, they travel very well, and they are waterproof -- all plusses when working away from my desk. I could wish there were perhaps one or two more colors in the green-blue range, and one or two fewer in the red-pink group, but in general they're a great value and surprisingly versatile even for grownups.

These hold up incredibly well in the hands of my students from kindergarten to 5th grade. They don't break as easily as crayons and don't get ground down into stubs in pencil sharpeners. The colors are bright and vibrant, especially on darker construction paper. I keep them in their packaging and students love getting to use their own set. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a durable coloring tool for young, colorful thinkers. I just wish I could afford getting the 24 packs for my art room. My students would love all the other colors it provides. :)

These are the next best thing to Prismacolor Art Stix in terms of quality, but the BEST VALUE for a school art budget. They are similar to the Art Stix but much cheaper and more comfortable to hold since they are hexagon shaped. Much easier on the fingers than a square. I highly recommend the Crayola Color Sticks. I just wish they came in more colors!

No more crayons for the toddlers in my centre. All they want to colour with are these slick sticks.
It is chunky and easy for their little hands to hold, the texture is smooth, and the colour is so bright.
I will be buying more and few packs at a time as the children use it daily.
