Would these be appropriate to give a 13 month old? He's been stealing my pens and sort of drawing with them.

If he puts things in his mouth a lot, I wouldn't without supervision. ANY moisture causes them to break down and rub off easily. My daughter had some blue teeth and she was 22 months when it happened. While it wasn't harmful, it was a pain to clean. That being said, they are SUPER easy to clean on other surfaces.

it would be perfect. even got it off LED TV with careful, gentle rubbing with correct cleaner for LED TVs.

Definitely better than pens! My toddlers use these for coloring and as long as your child can hold it, these would be great. They do make other crayons that sit in a plastic kind of holder for easier grabbing grip and coloring.

I don't think they would be good for coloring. Often you get abad pen that doesn't write ok. While this is ok for writing, I don't think it would be for drawing. Although I feel these are the best fine point felt tips I have ever used.

I never thought of that being a problem. My baby is 6 months. But we have only used it as a changer and a play pen.

Hi Meg! While these might work for some with note taking, my recommendation would be our thin tipped pens or our fiber tipped pens (even the fiber tips with the same wider tip like these here would be more responsive than the rubber of the same diameter). You can see both options here:

I think they would be, although I'm not familiar with the books you're talking about. They are more expensive than, for instance, Crayola pencils, so you might keep that in mind too.

My four year old uses them. I think for a one year old they may slip off and be a little big.

I think they work GREAT on canvas board.. if he/she pushes hard she'll just be wasting product but they are quite fun on canvas board. once done with the coloring, he/she can paint out the colors. I've had nothing but positive results with gelato's. or the kids 12 stick box of colors. Enjoy

The larger crayons are made for more aggressive hands that may not have fine motor skills yet. They are less likely to break and they will not be used up as quickly. If the 4 year old has good motor skills and can understand working delicately, then these would be just fine.

In my opinion for a playpen, 200 would be enough for a 1-3yr old. However, to make it more fun and really fill up the playpen, I would maybe get two sets. The balls get tossed around and maybe a few misplaced. My son is obsessed with balls right now so balls get taken in the car, to the grandparents or left behind in the yard etc. We have only had 1 set and they are still enough for now and going strong. If we were to have another party I would order a 2nd set to really fill up my sons pool.

My grandson hasn't lost any so far despite flinging them out of his playpen. Perhaps the manufacturer can be contacted?

Hi Matt...the pens are for my Grandaughters...they write on computer paper with them. Any other paper I would not know about

Maybe for stacking? Maybe because of the sharp-ish edges? I have been buying these blocks for presents for years and recently gave them to a 6 month old who learned to recognize ALL his ABCs solely from these blocks by the time he was 10 months old. Another present to a five month old resulted in the block going directly into his month but he recognizes some of the letters when questioned and his hand work has improved with manipulating the blocks. Just wash them off before putting them away.

Yes, my kids loved to try and steal them away and use them. I would even say they could possibly fit a 2-3 yr old.

I haven't seen them yet. As I type this, the folks (and tablet) are on their way to us from another state. I was interested in having stylus with tips that could be used by the kids 9 and 10 to draw on their tablets, and this is what was recommended by Jessie at the Friendly Swede. I suggest you send your question to them, and you will get a prompt and courteous answer. That's what I did. I do know that the granddaughter, 10, is drawing on her tablet with one of these. I bought their 18 (I think) multipack with a couple of different lengths, and my daughter tells me they are "chubbier" than those you are asking about. I haven't seen them yet.

Absolutely!! I used these for my new born son and he used them from birth to about 8 months. I also purchased them for a friend right before her daughter was born in November and she still loves them.

There are numerous sharp pencils that younger children should not be given unless closely supervised. The paints and pastels (similar to crayons) should be no problem if they are not prone to eating their toys. The set though is geared more to pre-teens or older.

Absolutely! The tracing inserts are pretty much just paper flashcards that slide underneath the little tablet part where the pen draws. There is PLENTY to do besides the tracing part. Your little one will love it! My son got this for his 2nd birthday, and is still using it a year and a half later, weekly. He has never even done the tracing part yet. The keyboard really grows with age.
