At first I thought they would be too small for me but they are perfect. (recently got into adult coloring books) There are SO MANY colors to choose from!!!!

I don\'t like to write negative reviews. However, this product is borderline fraudulent. The top of the box shows a multitude of colors. You won\'t get a multitude of colors. The ad says "largest collection of crayola markers in one pack" This isn\'t true on any level. You can buy multiple sets of Crayola markers that are much larger. I thought, however, maybe they meant different colors in one pack. No. Also not true. Inside my box of "64 markers" were the 16 specialty markers, and 4 boxes of 12 markers, all identical. I have four sets of the same colors. If I wanted 12 colors, I would have bought the 12 pack. I\'d read reviews of there being some duplicates, but this blows my mind. Four identical sets. Hardly the "largest collection" in one box. Crayola can do much better than this. I bought a 100 pack of the fine markers in the same order. It has 100 different colors. 100 with no duplicates. So why can\'t the broad markers be the same way? Please, only buy this if you want four reds, four greens, four blues, four yellows, four purples and don\'t expect a lime green or a dark orange or teal blue or any similar shades. You will not get them.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I let me toddler play with these on a white board and they dry nicely on the white board without too much smudge, then easily wipe off with a damp rag. They work well on regular coloring paper, and most colors show up nicely on brown paper too. He loves to color! If he has been using them a while you do typically need more than just water to wipe them off of his hands. You still need to supervise little ones and teach them not to color on furniture and curtains etc. Since that can be harder to clean off. For clothes that go in the wash these colors come right out. We've been using them about a month. None have dried out so far. I have also used them as temporary labels on plastic containers or fabric washable labels. This works really nice. In the attached picture you can see I have used them to write on empty clean vitamin bottles to label and sort little items. Once it is dry, it won't smudge if you are handling the bottles, but if you change what is inside the container, a damp paper towel will remove this easily. I'm planning to try this on some other storage containers that we have. I would definitely buy these again. I also really like the variation of colors. When these have gotten on our hardwood floors, they have easily wiped off. Also, they even look kinda cool when they are partially wiped off of the white board, and then applied while it is still a little damp (see attached picture). Definitely seems to be a nice tool for nurturing creativity.\nIn the pic I just uploaded it also shows how I used these to label prep bowls for cooking. It worked nicely, and the labels rinse right off. I don't have pictures, but I've also started using these on plastic storage containers and do far that's worked nicely."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought these after my Supertips started to dry out (from a lot of use). I think I prefer the larger length of the Supertips. I have to hold the marker cap in my other hand when I'm coloring with these because they're so short that the cap pops right off from the pressure of my hand writing when I put them on the end of the marker. I do really enjoy the variety of colors with these, and the fact that the colors are all named. With the supertips, I had to go through them all with white labels and do color swatches and tape them on the side of the markers to see the true colors. Since these are labeled, I was able to just do that on a piece of paper."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "Overall, these markers have turned out to be a pretty good deal. I purchased them for my 5 yr old daughter who loves to draw and color - and, at times, she is pretty hard on them. Now pushing 4 months of regular use, when I sit down to color with her, I have yet to find a single marker that shows any wear on the tip, nor a single marker that is fully spent or dried out. That's pretty good in my opinion; when I was a kid, I remember markers were delicate, the tips frayed easily, and their color output was on a noticeable decline after using them just a couple of times. That is certainly not the case here - indeed, given the price and knowing they were going to be subjected to a fair amount of punishment, I bought them with the assumption I'd need to get another set after 2-3 months - but, they're all still going pretty strong though...\n\nThe drawbacks are few and fairly minor. The first is that the box is not designed for functionality with the average consumer in mind. They're not necessarily bulk, but the packaging makes me think they are intended for a small classroom perhaps. So when I opened the box, it was just four smaller boxes not built to display all colors for an individual's ease, but maybe to be spread out for a group. So I had to alter the smaller boxes so the colors could be kept in the larger box, and set so that all colors could be seen at once - i.e., they had to be stair stacked and each box needed cut down...a bit of a hassle.\n\nThe other drawback is the amount of force required to put the cap back on - you have to leverage sufficient force where a kid using both hands could get close enough to the cap where there's a small pinch point. It's not anything that would cause an injury, just enough where you're likely to feel an annoying sting from putting the cap on and maybe by accident 1-2x a month.\n\nThe drawbacks are nitpicks really though. Overall, this set is a very good value - a wide range of colors, water-based and non-staining, durable, and long-lasting. I will order these again...I always intended to, it just turns out I didn't need to nearly as soon as I expected I would have to order them again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So many colors. Got it for my adult coloring book'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We purchased these August 29th 2017. It is now October 9th 2018. The markers are all still great. However, the kids have lost a lot or ruined many of them by leaving caps off or other things. So I am planning to get them each a new set for Christmas this year. Definitely a great purchase. The colors wash off everything we haven't found something it doesn't come off. We have a 2 yo who is crazy destructive and she has colored on just about everything in the house at some point. Haha we love these."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I used this product for coloring in adult coloring books. I had seen some reviews before I got them about them not actually coming with 40 different colors but just with a number of identical smaller sets, but that is not what I got; I got them exactly as described: 40 different colors. They are pretty cool. It was fun to open all the boxes inside the big box and look at all those different colors. I proceeded to organize them in the order the color list is on the back. I folded back the smaller boxes so I can open the big box and see all the markers. Each marker has the color name written on it, which is really nice. You don't have to guess which color is which like in the 50-pack of Crayola Super Tips. It is a good set of markers."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These inexpensive markers are reliable, versatile, and have a pretty good range of color. I\'m sure they\'re great for kids, but I\'m an adult doing the grown-up coloring thing, and I wanted a lot of colors without having to pay a lot of money. These are basic, but they don\'t work like cheap markers.\n\nSpecifics:\n• You can use the point for a finer line, and the side for a broader line or for filling in larger area.\n• You can build the color a little bit, put one color on top of another to change the shading some. (They don\'t blend like an art-marker, obviously.)\n• They\'ve got good ink flow, and good coverage with one pass. No bleed through on any decent paper, unless you really put a lot of ink in one spot.\n• Size: they\'re the same circumference as an average felt-tip pen (despite the "skinnies" name). Uncapped, they\'re about as long as a crayon, but with the cap posted on the back, it\'s like using a normal pen. (Some of the caps stay on the back better than others. All stay on the front just fine.)\n\n• They would not be super for small details (like the Secret Garden type books), or for drawing mandalas or other fine-line patterns. I have fine line pens (Stabilo 88) that are intermediate level, art-supply-wise, and use them if I\'m getting serious about staying in the lines.\n• I anticipate that the point may eventually get "mushy" with use. It\'s not a huge issue for me because 1) they were inexpensive, 2) I was pleasantly surprised the points were as pointy as they were to start with, 3) I use them mostly for bigger areas.\n\nVerdict: for your basic level colored marker, this is a great value. Ignore the "pip-squeaks skinnies" name." It\'s versatile enough for adults to get their coloring fix.'}]
