Best Kids' Crayons of 2026

"The Crayola Twistable Crayons have become a favorite in our home. My children are drawn to the vivid, lively colors that make their artwork pop. The sturdy twistable design means fewer broken crayons even when we're traveling, and I appreciate how easy they are for little hands to use without any mess. These crayons have truly enhanced our creative time—I highly recommend them for young artists."

"I've started using these for my Bible journaling after seeing a recommendation online. I like that they don’t bleed through thin pages, which is better than most highlighters. While they can break easily if dropped, I find them suitable for adult use, especially since the colors are a bit lighter—making text easy to read underneath. I wouldn't suggest them for very young kids, but for my purposes, they work quite well."

"These are perfect for travel! I packed them for a trip, and it was super convenient to hand a few to my young kids at a time. The shorter size fits nicely for storage, and the plastic casing prevents breakage—which is a lifesaver since my kids usually snap regular crayons. The variety of colors, including some multi-color ones, is a big bonus. I'd definitely buy these again."

"As someone who likes to color when I travel, I really appreciate how Twistable Crayons are perfect for on-the-go use. The large color selection is fantastic, and I never have to worry about sharpeners or broken tips. I just slip them into a pouch, and they're good to go. My only minor gripe is that a few lighter shades are a bit too faint for my taste."

"These Crayola Twistables have been a wonderful addition to our art supplies. They are mess-free, long-lasting, and the colors are smooth and vibrant. I love how there's no need for sharpening or dealing with crayon shavings. They're also compact and perfect for both kids and adults who love to color."

"My youngest grandson is notorious for breaking regular crayons, but with these Twistable Crayons, he hasn't even tried to break them. The colors are great and the product is very sturdy—exactly what we needed for a mess-free and hassle-free coloring experience."

"I purchased this Crayola art case for my daughter and we both absolutely love it. The sturdy, easy-to-carry case and the vibrant, high-quality colors are just fantastic. I especially appreciate the wide variety of supplies—markers, crayons, colored pencils, and paper—because it gives my child so many creative options. It doesn't feel cheap at all, and everything works really well. Plus, knowing it's Crayola, I trust that it's safe for kids. My daughter was thrilled and now spends hours drawing. It's definitely worth the price and makes a great gift!"

"As a parent who enjoys seeing my kids get creative, the Crayola Inspiration Art Case has been a huge hit in our home. With 140 pieces including crayons, markers, colored pencils, and paper, everything fits neatly into a durable, portable case that's easy for kids to carry. The built-in compartments keep things organized even after a lot of use, and the variety of colors inspires hours of art. It’s perfect for travel, playdates, and family art sessions. While the case isn’t as tough as wood and the smaller items run out a bit quicker, the overall value and creative fun are unbeatable."

"I got this set for my friend's 5-year-old daughter, and it was a total hit—even her younger sister joined in! The set is so easy to clean up, and everything washes out of their clothes with no hassle. The quality and value really impressed me, and the kids stayed entertained for hours. It's honestly such a great find for young artists!"

"I love that this pack offers a great price for 24 Crayola Crayon boxes, which are perfect for charitable giving. I included them in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and felt good knowing that children overseas will receive top-notch crayons along with other gifts."

"This set was ideal for restocking supplies for my school-age kids. The quality and color variety are fantastic, and having multiple boxes on hand is super convenient. I’d definitely buy these again for school or for sharing with teachers."

"I absolutely love these crayons for my toddler! They're easy for her to grip, the colors are beautiful, and the natural, kid-safe ingredients give me real peace of mind. The compact box is super convenient for travel, and the pleasant scent is a nice bonus. I highly recommend these to other parents looking for safe, quality crayons!"

"After trying several brands, I found Honeysticks to be the best for my grandchildren—easy to hold, smooth to color with, and the colors really pop on paper. They're a bit pricier than others, but the quality and safety make them totally worth it. I’ve already bought a set for my nephew as well!"

"While I appreciate the natural ingredients, pleasant smell, and toddler-friendly design, my child prefers Crayola for bolder colors. The Honeysticks colors are more like watercolors—pretty, but less vibrant. Also, they can be a bit tougher to clean off floors and walls compared to other brands, though I still enjoy having them for their safety and scent."

"My daughter finds these crayons the perfect size for her small hands. They’re much sturdier than other hollow crayons we've tried and hold up well to toddler use."

"I like that these crayons are sturdy and perfectly sized for my two-year-old. He easily grabs them on his own, and so far, none have broken."

"I chose these because my toddler tends to break regular crayons. While these are a bit thinner than the very fat kind, they draw nicely and are still a good fit for his grip."

"I bought these for my baby cousin who’s just over two years old, and I’m really impressed. The thickness makes them perfect for his little hands, and they don’t snap easily like smaller crayons do. He absolutely loves the bright colors and enjoys scribbling with them. I’m happy with the quality and would recommend them to anyone with toddlers just starting to draw."

"After trying different crayons, I’m glad I found these. They’re the right size for my toddler’s hands, and the variety of colors is great. My child finds them comfortable and easy to use. These have made coloring time so much more fun for us."

"I got these for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter and they are just what I hoped for. She’s thrilled with them and loves to color now. The crayons are easy for her to hold and the colors are fantastic. Very satisfied with my purchase!"

"As a parent, I've found these crayons to be extremely sturdy and perfect for little hands. They haven't broken even with my toddler's rough use, and the colors are bright and attractive. The fun names on each crayon are a nice touch, and the fact that they’re non-toxic puts my mind at ease."

"My two-year-old absolutely loves using these jumbo crayons! The easy grip and vibrant shades keep him engaged for longer, and I've noticed they hold up much better than flimsy alternatives. Cleanup is a breeze, and the sturdy container is great for storage and travel."

"I love these for my baby—they’re large, easy to hold, and mess-free compared to markers. The washable feature is a huge plus, and I don’t worry when she inevitably puts them in her mouth since they’re non-toxic. She even enjoys playing with the container!"

"I love the amazing selection of colors in this set, and I'm relieved that they're non-toxic, especially since my dog got into them! The quality is top-notch, and the crayons even survived a little canine 'taste test.' This product definitely made our family laugh on Christmas!"

"I bought this for twin nine-year-old girls, and it turned into the highlight of their birthday party. Even their older and younger siblings wanted to join in! Months later, they're still enjoying these crayons. Crayola's colors stay vibrant, don't break easily, and are truly the best."

"As a parent of kids who craft constantly, I appreciate how easy it is to store and transport this set. The tub is big enough for all the crayons, and the boxes inside are cute and colorable. Great value and typical Crayola quality!"

"I got these as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I'm really happy with them. They're just the right size for her little hands, very sturdy, and the colors are bright and washable. Plus, the cute storage bucket makes cleanup a breeze. I appreciate that they're non-toxic, so I don't have to worry. Overall, a great set for toddlers learning to color!"

"My grandson is autistic and tends to put things in his mouth, but these crayons withstand his toddler teeth and are still easy for him to hold. Cleanup is simple when he occasionally colors off the paper, and I'll definitely purchase more when needed."

"As someone frustrated with crayons that constantly roll off the table and break, these jumbo crayons are a game-changer! They're perfect for little hands, don’t break easily, and the bucket fits extra crayons too. My only wish is for the colors to be a bit deeper, but the washable and non-toxic aspects make up for it."
