Find Best Price at Amazon"The colors fill in the color gaps of my other markers. The price is GREAT for the quality. Cons (none very serious): I wish they had even more colors. Some of the tips are different sized, and even the fine tips are a little broad to get into those tiny corners. The colors are kind of wonky. That's what markers do! It's not a fault in the marker; markers bleed!"
"The only negatives I've found are that they seem to be extra juicy & wick across the paper a bit more than my Spectrum Noir markers, and the 4 fluorescent colors are not alcohol ink, they are standard highlighters."
"The two sides are a great feature, I do wish the wider end had a softer tip, it's a little difficult to blend softly but not impossible. I would say the color choice for this set would work well for someone doing a lot of nature scenes, there are a ton of very nice greens, greys, yellows and blues. I did find it a little hard to build color with these markers, but I found that letting the ink dry between applications made it easier."
"There was a slight hue difference between similar markers as each company will have it's own version of the hue. For the price I paid for them compared to the price of these markers there is no doubt which ones I will be using in the future."
"Have solid nibs and can get a bit streaky if you don't work fast."
"Although I am beginner With ink markers This is great for starters they blend Ok 👌🏾I use them for stamping card making the price is great 👍🏾 I bought the larger and gave a set to my son how many warm and cool grey could it be 🤣😂."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"For best results, you will need a palette that you can blend colors on. You blend by adding one color to the palette(you cannot blend by using the blender pen directly on color you've already applied to paper), then the other, and mixing those colors together on the palette itself. When you are done with the color, wipe the colorless blender on scratch paper--care for the tip of the brush. I purchased the primary and secondary packs with no duplicates, and with just those two and a palette, it's quite hard to find a color you can't make or don't already have."
"I have used markers extensively over the years and have come to own both this set of Tombow markers and a comparable set of Copic markers. Anyone who's lurked the internet world of markers for very long will learn that Copics are generally considered the best pens money can buy (they certainly are the most expensive) and that few other pens can stack up. In fact, many other marker brands are judged based on how they compare to Copics, which is exactly what I'll do for this review :) I know many people (myself included for a long time) are looking for alternatives to the really expensive pens, so hopefully this will aid in that search. Probably the biggest difference to note right of the bat is that Tombows are WATER BASED markers. This means they will perform vastly differently than Copics, Prismacolors, Tria, and many other high-end brands of markers. Copics: +Probably the biggest difference between these two markers is how much more easily these blend for me. +Come in a HUGE range of colors (358) and four different pen styles. +Made to last, and include ink refills and nib replacements. +Detail color naming system that's easy to understand. -These bleed through the paper like crazy. Just be aware that they require different techniques to blend than many popular brands of artist's markers, and you will not be disappointed :). *I thought I should mention that I actually have an issue with the fumes from Copic markers."
"Write Dudes Ultra Fine-Point Infinity pens, 8 Count, which are really really good for pens but not nearly enough colors. To me Staedtler and Johanna's stuff is way over rated and now so commercialized that the quality seems to have gone down and my recent purchase of Staedtler Duo color Markers was disappointing.. Stabilo Point 68 is a really good brand for those tiny hard to get areas and the colors are wonderful. They have a kids quality marker that is good as for my granddaughter. But all in all after trying these awesome Tombow I ordered more sets in different colors and can not wait for them to arrive."
Best Kids' Colored Pencils
While parents and teachers never want to discourage big and bold art, colored pencils are an ideal tool for children to use to satisfy their urge to draw smaller, intricate shapes. They can carefully fill in the blotchy markings of a calico kitten or precisely form each blade of grass--maybe trying a combination of yellow-green, pine, and jade. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Crayola Colored Pencils are excellent. Coloring is a breeze - I can layer colors, outline, shade, make the colors as bright or as muted as want."
"But price alone is not the determinant factor here: if a colored pencil is cheap but performs poorly, then there is no point in picking it up. But what I quickly discovered with these Crayola pencils is that not only are they inexpensive (they break down to only about 20 cents per pencil, compared to anywhere from $1 to $4 per pencil for the more expensive brands), but they perform exceptionally well, to boot. The pencils have a generally good laydown of color, with the caveat of the few colors that don't work well (true also of my most expensive colored pencils, I must say). Are these pencils as good as the best Swiss, French, and German colored pencils?"
"I thought 50 colors are plenty, but once you start using them, you do feel like you could use 100 colors..."
"Almost half of my arrived outside of the box with the "leads" broken completely off."
"These are the colored pencils I take on trips with me and am willing to share with kids (I'm pretty stingy with my Prismacolor and Derwent sets)."
"We purchased one set for my 6 year old 1st grade home-schooler and my younger two liked them so much they quit using their crayons so I just purchased a second set."
"I love this set of pencils!"
"These are good pencils."

"When I first started I went to the craft store and dropped a butt load of money on a big case with lots of colors and different types of pencils. I quickly realized that the pencils broke constantly during sharpening, the color pallet wasn't extensive, and all told I really got ripped off."
"The pack has 72 different colors, multiple shades of the colors, I am beyond excited about them."
"Be it colouring books to drawing, I find that having several sets of art pencils is much better than one. Admittedly the Marco's were cheaper and slightly better, these like I said are more vibrant and a must have for any set of pencil art."
"The wood seems to be of acceptable quality, but the core felt like it would break if I put too much pressure on it when coloring."
"They are waxy and the colors even when applied with a lot of force are very light."

"I ordered another and with the quickness my little man had his case and was rockin it at summer camp. I let him take it because we are working on his ability to take care of things and it's a creative tool, plus I'm sure some of the other kids would likely see how cool it is and want one too, thus spreading my desire to get kids away from electronics and doing something creative. After the first week there is a slight tear on one of the corners, but guess what; it's only the decorative outter layer! Each item has a spot and they are secured tightly so they don't fall out while the case is closed."
"I'm not sure if the case included a sharpener, but it should."
"The sturdy, attractive case, provides good storage for the multitude of crayons, colored pencils, etc."
"She treats the set almost like a doctor, as she carefully selects colors, uses them on her drawings, and takes care to return each marker to its proper place."

"He is enjoying it and used it to draw pictures to put in with all of his Christmas Thank-You notes."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Will always travel with this set so I can do what I love anywhere."
"Regarding the color quality, I think it's fair to say it is of inferior quality than a Windsor and Newton "professional" grade watercolor paintbox. I have found the lighter colors grainy and all the colors just a bit too transparent. Until you are willing to splurge $$ for professional watercolor, the quality of this set is more than adequate for everyday sketches and painting exercises."
"The colors were described as pigmented and I would agree with that. The palette itself its a fairly study plastic palette. And it is possible to store the included water pen inside the palette if you keep the little black stopper (seen in the open palette photo) to hold the water in the tube. Unless of course your destination has a water source or you carry water with you. I will say that in the future I plan to invest in a palette that have removable paint pans. The only downfall of this palette is that once the pans on my most used colors are empty, I will either attempt to fill with tube paint or have to buy a new palette altogether. Given that this palette is so affordable, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to buying a new palette, but it would seem pretty wasteful."
"I bought this for my trip to canada, it was very light and portable and the paints are really good quality for the price!"
"Here are the colors: Chinese White. Lemon Yellow. Aureoline Hue. Permanent Yellow Deep. Permanent Orange. Jaune Brilliant. Vermillion Hue. Cadmium Red Hue. Crimson Lake. Quinacridone Rose. Purple. Cobalt Blue Hue. Cerulean Blue. Ultramarine. Prussian Blue. Yellow Green. Viridian Hue. Permanent Green Deep. Olive Green. Yellow Ochre. Light Red. Burnt Umber. Payne's Grey. Ivory Black."

Only water needed is in the brush and lasts forever depending on size of art paper; quick cleaning as you change colors.

"And I made a mistake that I thought I can pour paint on the handles of those brushes."
"Another little perk is that the case it comes in doubles really nicely as a storage for the brushes so after I've washed and dried the brushes I just put them back in their original packaging."

Best Crayon Sharpeners
Dual hole design makes it suitable for all 6-12mm diameter pencils. The safety cover for 9-12mm sharpening hole prevents the kids inserting their fingers into the hole, which makes it an ideal choice for young kids.

The pencil sharpener has a lifespan of over 200 times sharpening and we also provide six extra cutting blades as backup to extend the lifespan of the sharpener. ● Insert the pencil into the appropriate hole. 【USB & BATTERY OPERATED】: Use it as a battery operated pencil sharpener with 4 x AA Batteries (not included) or an electronic pencil sharpener via USB cable (included). 【PORTABLE AND QUIET】: This compact battery operated electric pencil sharpener is small enough to fit in your backpack but powerful to sharpen a variety of pencils.
