These crayons bend. This is useful for two reasons, first of all, it's fun for my daughter but more importantly it means that I don't have to deal with a thousand little broken pieces of crayons shoved a the bottom of a zipper bag. I want to be 100% honest that these crayons DO NOT color as well as traditional wax, name-brand crayons. You need to work a little harder and push down to get them to color but they do have a smooth stroke and it looks fairly nice even if the colors are a little muted but it is a worthy trade off for not having a bunch of broken crayons around.

These are great crayons. They bend rather than break. They color like normal crayons. The colors are bright and the packaging is reusable. Did I mention they bend? Not sure what sort of magic is used here, but it is pretty amazing. All-in-all, these are now my favorite crayons. The only thing that keeps these from being 5 stars is the price.
