This review is from : Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Water Soluable Pastels (40 Colors)
Not a toy but great for serious budding artist . My daughter loves these watercolor crayons and has produced great work with them.
They are not for the casual user as the price tag would make them an expensive hobby.
But they are wonderful for those who will take them seriously.

Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Water Soluable Pastels (40 Colors) Reviews
Caran D'ache Pastels . These pastels are the most fun art tool I have gotten my hands on. I love that you can dip them into water then stroke them over the canvas for a rich watery effect, dry for a rough traditional pastel look, or you can also spray it once it has been laid on the canvas and rework it. I love using them to sketch out my composition then go in with acrylics and they melt into the acrylic creating wonderful shaded edges. Most fun you can have with a crayon! One thing I do find though is they seem to take a bit to get them going. Like they have a coating on them.

Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Water Soluable Pastels (40 Colors) Opinions
Serious Artists' Toy . Not sure where I heard about this product, maybe Quilting Arts Magazine. These water soluable crayons are easy and fun to use. They solved my resistance to purchasing another round of dyes for cotton on my small art quilts. These crayons work similarly to water colors. I've experimented by applying/rubbing to dry and damp fabric. Not sure if there is much difference in the end result though they transfer to damp fabric much easier. I imagine these colors will work a little differently with each type of fiber, fabric and weave. Apply the color to the fabric from the crayon stick, mixing colors side by side and over one another if you please. Then add water with your brush of choice (I like a foam brush best so far) or spritz to dampen all first. Each stick/color carries its color differently. I found some of the lighter colors to be more dense than the darker colors. So, if it makes a difference to your project I'd suggested testing each color stick for its covering qualities first. Hang or lay flat to dry to see if you applied enough color. Reapply if necessary. A good pressing sets the colors to the fabric.

The best! . The colors are vibrant, and blends well with water or gesso. I started with a 10 piece set, and now I have the 40 count. I love each and everyone.
Quality+ a great product . In taking a collage art class the instructor recommended this and I am totally pleased with the way I can erase any misplaced lines easily and it wont show as erased. A quality product worth the price.
This is a professional art product. Superb Quality . These Caran d'Ache Neocolor 11 water soluable pastels are not a toy. They are fine quality drawing materials for the professional artist as well as the amature. Colors are light fast. Use on any high quality paper, leave dry or convert to watercolor by using a wet brush.
RAD . You can write on your own skin with these crayons.
You heard me. Dip them in water, draw on your skin, wash it off later with water. Like the coolest temporary tattoo EVER.
I love them.
