This review is from : Alex Toys Super Jumbo Crayons (12)
(8) Crayola Crayons by Crayola VS (12) Triangle Crayons Extra Jumbo by P'Kolino VS (12) Super Jumbo Wax Crayons by Alex Toys . I bought each of the following three brands of crayons based on them being advertised as being "JUMBO", looking for the largest crayons, since at the local store(s) (mainly just going to Walmart), the definition of JUMBO isn't what it used to be!
I actually got these crayons for my elderly disabled mother, who suffered a stroke, and lost the use of her right arm/hand, but I hope that she will eventually be able to color with her right hand again, but needs a larger sized crayon in order to be able to hold on to them. Currently, she uses her left arm/hand to color.
I will use the metric system to measure, since it is easier for me to give a more accurate description on their actual size.
This is the information that I wish I knew before I bought each set:
Crayola 8-Pack Crayons - Jumbo (So Big) Size (Single Box) - by Crayola
Length: 12.7 cm
Tip Length: 1.9 cm
Diameter: 1.5 cm
Quantity: 8
Super Jumbo Wax Crayons - by Alex Toys
Length: 11.5 cm
Tip Length: 1.8 cm
Diameter: 1.4 cm
Quantity: 12
Triangular Crayons Extra Jumbo (12 colors) - by P'Kolino
Length: 8.6 cm
Tip Length: 2cm
One Side of the triangle: 1.2 cm
Quantity: 12
Based on all of this, I would recommend either the Crayola 8-Pack Crayons - Jumbo (So Big) Size (Single Box) or Super Jumbo Wax Crayons, if you are truly looking for JUMBO crayons. The Crayola crayons were just a little bit bigger in length and slightly bigger around than the twelve "Super Jumbo Wax Crayons" by Alex. If I was to choose between these two, I suppose I would go with Super Jumbo Wax Crayons, since you would get twelve different colors, and the size difference isn't that much to make the Crayola's stand out that much.
The Triangular Crayons Extra Jumbo (12 colors) were the smallest. As a matter of fact, there wasn't anything "Extra Jumbo" about them. They are the same size as the "Jumbo" sized crayons you can get at your local WalMart. I would hate to use their "average" sized crayons! I just noticed that the packaging says that they were made in Europe, which might explain it, since their cars are a bit on the "Wee" size! The only positive thing about the triangular crayons is that they fit in a nice cylinder 9.7 cm long by 4.5 cm in diameter.
I hope this review helps you pick the right size!
