are the crayons easily broken

they were shipped and scattered in the box and non of them brooke. I would say they are durable

I have 5 kids that used them and they did not break easily. Yes, a few of them ended up broken, but overall they're fairly thick and don't break easily.
1579835
Not so far. They've dropped from the table to the wood floor, and are still in one piece.
1579836
No! My son bangs them on the table and has dropped them a ton. Much better than Crayola.

I dropped one on our Marmoleum floor this week and broke it in half. To be fair, these crayons have dropped and thrown several times on our hard floors and carpets so it was probably weak from the wear already.

Not as easy as crayola. All of my daughter's crayons are still in one piece (perhaps being triangular shaped gives them some extra strength?). I hadn't noticed this feature until prompted with the question, but I think they're great crayons and we don't have a single broken one!

No, they aren't. I was surprised. They fall on our hardwood floor all the time without breaking, unlike the Crayola triangular crayons. We did end up with some broken ones, but I'm pretty sure it was the result of a tantrum.

My kids lost interest in this toy fairly quickly, so we never had to replace the markers. I would check with Crayola or I would think dry erase marker would work as a fine replacement also.

Yes, you can use any crayons. I used to melt my old, broken crayons in a pot when I was young to make candles and I was very happy to find the Crayola Melt 'n Mold last year for my daughter's Christmas gift. Handling a hot pot, oven or microwave is not safe for kids and it is lousy for us too so it is really good invention nowadays. I have ring, car, and plane molds and wish they have more forms.

Yes these are larger than regular crayons. My son is a year old and the larger size makes it easier for him to grip.

Crayola makes kid ones. I would assume that those wouldn't smell. They also make dry erase crayons which is what we use. They don't come off as easy as the makers. I use either a wet paper towel or a cleaning wipe and it comes right off. Hope that helps.

These head phones do break easily. My kids broke them within two day of receiving them. I had to take them apart and super glue the hinge back together. Ever since, they have been fine. I don't know if that is because my kids have been careful with them since breaking them.

I don't. With 2-year olds it really doesn't matter if they have a point. I love these crayons for a lot of reasons, one of them being that they often sit in my car between the home visits that I do and even if they get hot they hold their shape because of the box!

Much more intense than Crayola. These have survived months of use and torture from my toddler. They've been dropped and thrown tons of times and are still going. The crayola would break on 1st drop. I also suggest M&D; paper because it's so much nicer than others.

In my experience, these come off of hard surfaces (table tops, painted drywall, linoleum, finished hardwood, etc.) completely with some scrubbing. Essentially all crayons are pretty colored wax, so they won't bleed onto clothes or furniture or things like that unless intentionally colored upon--which is usually avoided because it isn't as easy or as satisfying as coloring on paper or a hard surface. Keep in mind that these won't wash off of unfinished (not painted or sealed) wood surfaces very well.

Well... they are pretty sturdy but..... also a little fragile. I bought them for my 3 yo girl who played appropriately with them and my 2 year old son slowly crushed and broke off pieces over time.

Well I'm 33 and I love them. I think it really matters that the kids are old ENOUGH to use crayons. Not too old. I still color.

After I saw your question, I tried to peel the paper off one of the crayons and it peeled off very easily. Another tip I always use is to soak the crayons in water before you try to peel the paper off. The paper comes right off when it's wet.

It's not easy because the crayon is a bit wider and it is softer. I just tried it.

Hi all I know is my son thats 15 years old got these for Christmas 2013 and they are still working and he loves them and uses them everyday. He is not the best at taking care of things so i would think that they dont break to easy. Hope this helps.

It really depends on the child. My 4 year old daughter has done fine with this size crayon. My 3 year old son doesn't have an issue except that he doesn't push down on the paper hard enough and therfore barely leaves a mark. You could always buy these and give them a try and if they don't work for you yet, just set them aside for when your child is ready for them.

Yes, they break very easy. they have a score mark that helps break them. They don't always break exactly in half, but close.

Yes, they are sturdy, but are not difficult to remove. This has provided hours of entertainment for my grandchildren.
