Nice Unique Art Tools For the Price . I bought these alongside some mini-coloring books for my eldest daughter's stocking this year (she's almost five). I was immediately not-so-wowed by the consistency of them. They are in fact more crayon-like than pencil like, but seem to be almost waxier in a hard sort of way --- the end result is that the colors don't go onto paper vividly, they are far more muted than a crayon - or even a high quality colored pencil.
Because we have an art shelf set up in our kitchen, I was actually pleased with the little tube they come in. We removed the plastic inside and use it sort of like cardboard pencil cup (same with the crayons, which we also own).
My daughter seems to enjoy using these a great deal, despite the muted colors. I think she views them as being more grown up - because of their pencil-like appearance - than the fatter, triangular crayons her sister received in her stocking. I'd say she's had them down from the art shelf at least once a day since receiving them. And that's the point, really - that she enjoy using them.
The only other drawback with these 'pencils' is that it takes almost nothing to break them. One has been broken already after a roll-dive from the table top (less than a week's time) and I imagine the others will soon follow.
In terms of materials - these do seem to be made of a petroleum-type wax (based on the slight odor) but they are not offensively scented. They are also made in Spain, rather than China - a detail I appreciate and which was pretty much the sole reason I bought them.
In summary - not a disappointing purchase, not a 'wow!' purchase, but a good deal for the money spent on them and an ideal stocking stuffer.

Good make product but finish more like crayon . It is well made coloring production, but if you are looking for really color pencil result, this is not the one. It more likes special made Crayons.

It was ok . They were a little pricey but for the color variety it was worth it also they break really easily so not recommended for little kids. Btw they aren't really colored pencils just a skinny waxy crayon.

Disappointed with Amazon today one star service . I like the color pencils but the packaging sucked. The four star review is for the product. I'd like to give a one star to Amazon today. One color pencil was missing and one was broken when the package arrived. It was a book package clumsily covered with tape. Amazon customer service sucked even more when I contacted them. You would think they want to keep their customers happy. They were giving me a dollar refund or wanted me to go to post office for a pack of color pencils! I didn't take either option, I was so mad. They seriously need to do better to keep regular customers happier or we'll start looking elsewhere.Pencils are unique, really nice and classy looking. Draw like color pencils but are more like crayons in shape and form, will break if stepped on. Which is why Amazon should have done a better job with packaging.
Scapbookers Take Heed! A old but secret to share .... . I used to do scrapbook work; this is excellent for the "finale" touches when you don't want to use a gel pen, ink, crayon, or yet when it comes to a point when a colored pencil just won't do. This WORKS!It can actually create an embellishment look without any embellishments in it, no more lumpy-bumpy, especially when one's working on a project of creating a dramatic photo album where the needs of flatness is a must but yet one can achieve the 2-D and 3-D effect in a whole new realm if you have never tried these before.This is a Holiday gift to a special someone who loves to do scrapbook, yet, is tired of the same old, same old - that special someone is in for a surprise!Here's some tips and tricks:Borders: These after having cut out the thin colored paper for frame around the photo;
a) hole punchers after glued on and dried, can be shaded or colored or outlined (etc.)
b) 3-D effect can be made by usage of color paper and white and usage of these colored pencils with ruler to draw linear effect (depending on how wide or narrow you might have it to be
c) Hand-made balloons, stars, bubbles, etc ... in larger format can be designed as individuals to create a frame of its own around the picture or border; including funny and silly expressionsWonderful for the need for Special Events:
Examples:
1) Golden Anniversary, usage of cut out of 2 golden rings and these pencils providing the highlights which will not damage the fine tipped ink of the names written on each wedding band (for example)
2) Special Event or Gala Events which are Annuals for people to purchase as fund raising and/or to preview the past events or galas of such and such year - these pencils actually provides excellent shading without too much scrapbook effect and taking away from the special event or gala itself and yet brings total charm. (YES, people are "wow"ed by this, and it does cause them to want to purchase one - whether via book to DVD as some have gone so far today to Power Point presentations with "Blast from the Past" altogether with music!)So much more can be added here, whereas it becomes a heirloom itself; whether family, Class Reunion, Society, Events, Galas, you name it; you'll be highly recognized for your outstanding work along with the others as well!Shhhh! Don't tell anyone or everyone will be doing it!:-D++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I was SAD to find this delivered with cap off and all the pencils scattered about where I had to hunt for them down and only to find the missing one wedged between the box flap.:(

Love these colored pencils! . I've bought a ton of these colored pencil sets to pair with coloring books as birthday gifts for my children's friends. I love the colors, packaging and ease of use. The fact that they're made in Europe is a plus and looks like they're from a boutique children's toy store. I'll buy more!
Nice but not lots of color . Very nice looking colored pencil set however the pencils are small (thin and short) and not lots of color comes out. You have to press really hard to write with them, even for me. We kept them because they didn't seem worth returning, but there must be better nice colored pencil sets out there.
Stylish Color Pencils . I love this colors. I am a college students and I needed colors for my biology class so i decided to purchase these and I love them! They do they job with style! It almost seems like if they are colors from the future just because you don't seem them shaped this way.
Why don't they make ALL colored pencils like this?! . LOVE these pencils! No more endless sharpening of colored pencils, only to resharpen a few minutes later when the lead breaks. Even my very young children can color easily with these. It's also nice to take them with us on trips without worry about constant resharpening. It's hard to imagine ever going back to the wood-encased variety. As for the price, I think it's entirely fair -- maybe even a bargain, considering half of the traditional colored pencils gets wasted during the sharpening process. We've not had trouble with the packaging. The cylinder works nicely as a pencil jar. Besides, the box packaging with traditional colored pencils never holds up well for long in our house. We received two sets as gifts, and I just ordered 2 more! Genius product!
Cons Review
Great new concept -- would be perfect if case was better . My 3-year old daughter really loves these. We take them everywhere, but they are especially useful for travel on airplanes because they don't roll around as much. That said, the case isn't very good. We lost part of it on our first trip and it isn't very easy to get the pencils out of it. That is why I removed a star.
