DOODLE HOG Washable Crayons 12 Colors, Kids and Toddler Crayons, Watercolor, Non Toxic, 3 in 1, Gel Crayons for Kids Ages 4-8

favorite art medium for kids in my art class

very easy to use it's like water colors and markers all in one

The first set I got was old & customer service sent a fresh one. What a difference! I'm a pro artist & like these better than my fave oil pastels for clean blending - smooth with no excess oil. So smooth & incredibly vivid, most colors are fluorescent. These should marketed to adults as I would buy more colors. Easy to use & FUN.

Awesome great super messy crayons for a 2/3-year-old, in my opinion or for my messy toddler… There was oily pasty crayon everywhere, my dresser my floor my kitchen counter I don’t even know how It got there… In my opinion this would be an amazing product for a child with a little bit more dexterity control and impulse control LOL which mine has none at this time… But as soon as she does, these will be awesome… I do Love that you can leave the cap off and it seems like they don’t really dry out easily…IF at ALL! ***That is key for an art medium with a small child… In my opinion it’s just not for a very small child unless you are giving them 100% direct supervision… If that’s the case then this is the crayon for you. They are beautiful and the colors are amazing.I can’t say anything to the colors coming out in the wash when they make it to closing, but I can say that they did not super easily come off of services but this is potentially only due to my daughters sneaking around and heavily marking on my things/furniture LOL… Which is my fault, not the crayons. Just giving a full warning they are not a miracle no problem crayon… I wish there was one!

These twistable crayons are very pigmented and so smooth to color. They wipe up effortlessly off walls, flooring, and furniture. My toddlers love them and find them so much more fun than regular crayons.Cons: they are a bit messy. They rub easily on paper with little to no force, but they just as easily rub on clothes and skin. While they wipe up easily, they do stain clothes...I think these would be amazing for children a little older than my toddlers... They tend to make a huge mess even if it does wipe up easily.

I recently taught a women's class and the class members were asked to complete a campfire scene using these gel crayons. I don't have kids so I was concerned about how vibrant the colors would be--I needed this 16x20 campfire image they would draw on to be seen from quite a distance. I toyed with the idea of using acrylic pens--but they were too fine; wax crayons were too difficult for amateurs to get good results and then I found these NOYO Gel Crayons! Just from the description and reviews I knew these crayons could pull it off.The gel crayon colors are brilliant and clean--bright while all the way to deep black. I used watercolor paper for this campfire scene (which was 'pitted' rather than smooth--smooth would have been a better option) and the crayons went on like lipstick--very smooth, wide lines, filled in all the dimples; I thought the end result was terrific. Most class members wanted to know where I found the NOYO gel crayons. Kids and adults alike can use these NOYO gel crayons by hardly moving a finger.

I used these [the orange and green ones] on and off for several months and was pleased with them, gliding toward a 5-star rating fer sure. THEN the green one revealed a piece of plastic molded into the bottom ~1/2" of the cylindrical coloring material which made that part unusable and the blue one wouldn't extend when the 'extender' was turned. I will wait to see if the seller will make this 'right' and if they do, I'll edit this review. From what I've seen so far, I'd not recommend purchasing these gel crayons for the 67-cents each that I paid.EDIT: The seller made a complete refund after seeing my experience in using their product. I believe they are sincerely, good people and since they expressed surprise at my finding these faults, I would suggest that others give them a chance to prove it.My use of the gel crayons involved layering a water-soluble color over the gel crayon and getting a different effect than would have been using ordinary wax crayons.UPDATE: Having nearly used these up [at least the intense colors] and having tried others' products which are less saturated I'm getting ready to purchase these again. I prefer them over the others!

I didn't know that a crayon could inspire my children to be so creative. As soon as my kids see these, 3/3 flock to them. I have to hide them or they would inevitably cover everything in the house (range from 18 months to 4 years old). With regular crayons, they might color for 10 minutes; with NYOC crayons, they will draw and write all morning.These things write like butter or, even more relatable, like lipstick because they are so pigmented. But, they wash off like tempra paint! It's even easier to clean up than washable marker. 5 stars from this mom desperate to keep preschoolers busy during the pandemic!
