Expert Commentary
“Crayons are a staple of childhood. Crayons are usually what a child uses to make their first masterpiece (hopefully on paper, not on white walls). These crayons are the best choices for parents who care about safety, quality, portability and, of course, making your child happy. I love the vibrant colors and the cases that some of these sets come in. My children love all the above sets; who said you need to choose just one?”
