Coloring - art, art supplies


These pencils were much cheaper than buying them at any store and still the same great crayola brand. Received very quickly in time for school (anatomy and physiology for RN program). I used them for flash cards, notes and a Greys Anatomy coloring book I also purchased. Crayola 64 Ct Short Colored Pencils Kids Choice Colors

These 64-count short Crayola Colored Pencils are a disappointment for a number of reasons. Short? And how! They measure 3.5 inches (9 cm) stem to stern and look more like golf pencils than any kind of long-barrelled pencil. The box disguises this shortcoming by being very tall, but inside each successive row of pencils is stepped up, like stadium seating in a theater. The exterior implies that the pencils are in order by color range, but they appear to be in no color order, neither prismatic, alphabetic, or by hue. The built-in sharpener is plastic and lame. The maker says the colors are different, but I'll have to trust them on that because color names are not printed on the pencils themselves.



This is way too much to pay for such a disorganized mediocrity. Crayola makes better colored pencils (especially the long-barrelled ones), and there is plenty of competition these days, as well.



A note on nomenclature: according to company info., Binney & Smith(tm) changed its name to Crayola LLC on January 1, 2007.

tall box, little crayons, guess i didn't pay attention to the label as well as i should have. although it seems that they deliberately try to make it appear that the contents are much bigger than they really are.



definitely won't buy again. - Pencils - Art - Coloring - Art Supplies'
