Do these crayons break easily? Would you recommend for a 2 year old?

I bought these for my daughter when she was one. I love them, thank goodness for washable! They don't break as easy as the regular crayons, these are thicker and triangular shape, so it is an easier grip for small hands.

They are good quality crayons. My 1 yr old daughter colors with them all the time, & they are still hold on perfect! The best so far! Thanks! :)

I don't think they break more easily but if you have a really long sharp point it may break. Prismacolor are light years ahead in quality than the kind you're presently using

Well I'm 33 and I love them. I think it really matters that the kids are old ENOUGH to use crayons. Not too old. I still color.

I bought it for my daughter who just turned 3. She is a gentle kid who, despite playing quite delicately, broke a few small, plastic features (like the head off of the shower), etc. within 24 hours of owning the set. The pieces are exceptionally small and fragile. Additionally if your child is in a phase of putting things in their mouth, I would say "definitely not" good for a 2-3 year old. Probably better for 3 1/2 - 4 year olds.

I bought these for my daughter's 2nd birthday. All the kids there played with them (1-8 years), and the parents too! I just took out the smallest sized piece and my 10 month old loves them too.

These crayons are not very vibrant, so I've had no problem with any stains. They are my 'go to' crayon when I can't be standing over my son because he ant do much damage with them.

Yes. They are longer than a typical crayon but shorter than a standard #2 pencil.

Hi all I know is my son thats 15 years old got these for Christmas 2013 and they are still working and he loves them and uses them everyday. He is not the best at taking care of things so i would think that they dont break to easy. Hope this helps.

It really depends on your child. Some I would say yes, but others no. Try him out with a pencil or something similar. These are standard sized regular crayons, so they are about the size of a golf pencil. I would wager yes though. Even if his motor skills cannot handle them yet, it will be good for scaffolding his motor skills learning.

Yes, I believe a 2 year old can play on it. My daughter had gotten it a few months before her 3rd birthday. They can use the scribble feature and learn to take photos with the camera feature and there's all sorts of games for little ones that they can maneuver through.

My Daughter is turning 2 in July and I got these a couple months ago when she was about 21 months old. She loves them and I don't see any sharp parts or danger. I guess someone could bite the wheels off and there is the usual under 3 warnings, but other than that there are no problems I can see. She doesn't put things into her mouth, so I guess we are safe there and if your little guy still does there may be a choking possibility. I have a track set coming in a couple days, too.

Toddlers, no problems.. I think my children played with them until about7-8 yrs and had to jump on them to collapse them.

I would say yes. I purchased them for my 2 year old grandson and have held up thus far.

The boys in daycare broke theirs in one day. we have a daycare, so we used the kids to test them. the 2, 3, and 4 year olds could use them with no problem.

With care they will not break, but they will grind down very quickly so don't push it in for long periods. Sorry burst works best. On a side note, the art teacher at school doesn't allow the students to use colored pencils in this sharpener for that very reason. You will do fine.

They should. Just not sure about quality -- similar to restaurant brand versus crayola -- worth the try at a decent price!

I haven't had that problem. They aren't like the crayola pencils where you can never effectively sharpen again. These have different texture and are better/easier.
