The media could not be loaded. The novelty of these being bendy are fun for a moment (this is definitely the best feature), but they aren’t really the best quality for actual coloring. You have to press kind of hard to get some good color out of them (which makes it difficult for older toddlers who haven’t developed that hand strength to enjoy them). The ends are flat, and it just doesn’t have that nice smooth feeling going across the paper. My child was not interested and has not wanted to use them again. Knowing what I know now, I would not have paid that much for them.

It requires heavy force to get a trace of color. It is certainly not suitable for those who can not exert strong pressure when attempting to color something—disappointing, to say the least.

When I got the crayons, I opened the package to see a huge jumble of loose, broken crayons in the plastic tray they come packed in. They still color, but it kind of ruins the "fun" factor when all of your neat, letter shaped crayons are broken into pieces that no longer resemble any letters at all.
