These are a fun idea. We couldn't really tie them in a knot. More just bend in half or try to twist. It's a cute 'fidget' toy. But they don't work great as crayons. There's just not a lot of color unless you are really scribbling hard. A fun stocking stuffer. But not a substitute for real crayones.

These are really cute crayons, they don't have any paper wrapped around them & they don't break, 2 major pluses vs regular crayons. They color just as good as regular crayons & they're the perfect size for little hands.

This was a great gift for our 7 year old daughter who still likes to color and draw. These look just like regular crayons that she uses, but she likes the bendy novelty of them. I think these would be a good gift item for a little kid, and price is pretty reasonable.

I got these letter shaped crayons in hopes they would be used for coloring and maybe some letter recognition as well. Now that I have seen and touched them, I'm not sure how much coloring will be taking place with them (I really had to press hard to color) but they are a fun way to review letters and colors. I have been dumping them all on the table and then she picks them up one at a time, says the letter and then puts it in order. Next week I may even start trying to spell some words. This has been a really fun way for my 4 year old to show letter recognition.

These crayons do bend, but you have to use a lot of muscle to get a little bit of a bend. I’m an adult and could barely get them to bend. That being said, I do think they would be harder to break. They color nicely and easily, and there are a lot of bright colors to choose from. I know that some little ones get very upset when their crayon breaks, so this would be a nice set for them. They don’t have wrappers, but that didn’t bother me at all. They felt very nice in my hand.

Ordered these for my almost 3 year old and they were a hit. The crayons are bendy, i didn’t try hard to break one because I didn’t want to but I could bend it a bit without it breaking. They don’t have a paper on them but when we were coloring I didn’t feel like my hands were getting marked. They worked well and are a good size for kids and adults, they’re like standard sized crayons. I don’t like the packaging so I docked a star for that, we put ours in a little stasher bag for easier clean up.

The coloring sticks are fun to use considering no matter what a child does, they most likely won’t be able to break them. The fun they have while trying can be quite amusing as well. My only complaint is that they are a bit difficult for some kids to use to color. You have to press down really hard, and apply constant, firm pressure. For some, that isn’t a problem. For others, it’s a big one. This household is moderately satisfied considering the price and the fun the kids had just fooling around with them. But they were a little frustrated when they tried to color, and all they got was a faint shade. They aren’t bad, but they certainly aren’t great.

I WISH THESE CRAYONS HAD A POINT TO THEM, HARD TO COLOR IN THE LINES WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.

I bought these for my rough-housing 2.5 year son that likes to break crayons in half. While these don’t break, they also don’t show up very well. You have to really write hard to get the color to appear. Too much effort for a scribbling toddler👎🏾

My daughter enjoys coloring and is very rough on her crayons. I thought these would be great for her but she didn’t enjoy the way they colored and quickly tossed them to the side for her tradition crayons. It is worth mentioning that I do think these are a great product but not for my nonverbal autistic daughter, who likes what she likes and that’s it, and there is very little reasoning with her. She also discovered that she could indeed break these if she bit them.
