Is this paper good for toddlers just starting to use crayons, or does it rip easily?

It's great for toddlers. I would suggest a little guidance to show the limitations of this paper. It can't be manhandled or treated too rough. But for the price, you have a lot of paper and a lot of creativity.

Chinagirl- my family really likes this toilet paper (husband and two sons). It is not super soft but not rough at all...however that is somewhat of a personal preference or observation. I have had many guests or friends comment on the toilet paper saying they really liked it and may start using it too. Try it out, start with a small order in case you don't like it.

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 don't snap as easily as the regular size crayons but they do break. ours broke from being dropped multiple times. if your child likes to snap her crayons, maybe try the twistable kind. they are housed in plastic so the outside won't break. or just don't replace her broken crayons until she stops snapping them.

My kids love ours. It is kinda of difficult for anyone under ten, so parent may need to assist. It's not cheap plastic. I was happy with the purchase. You can buy string from a craft store, too, just fyi :)

The paper is smooth, I would say like A4 paper, yes. For its weight it does take watercolor paint quite well without bleeding edges or bleeding through.

It's pretty sturdy, we loaded it up with lots of stuffed animals, big and small. I don't think it will rip easily. The main thing is we tell the kids not to hang on it or it might pull out of the wall.

The paper is durable enough that flipping back and forth through the months, if done with some care, it will not tear. Also the paper is thick enough that it does not show through to the month following. Not card stock but a better quality printing paper. IMHO

I did use copy paper and was fine for awhile, and then the light just was in one place, Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby and brought me an adult one with 40% coupon and so, it lasted awhile, But if you are going to be using it a lot like I was invest in a upgraded one from the art dept. If for a child It will be good for awhile. I Did use copy paper, tried cardstock that was to heavy. Good Luck on which ever you decide.

I think it's strong enough. It's hard cardboard with a thin padding over top so it should be strong enough so the paper wont tear

This paper is light. It is almost like plastic paper. It would certainly be light enough for a pencil to trace fine details through, but I don't know that it would last as long as you'd like. Also, it is too light to be able to trace around the edges.... there is no stiffness to it. You might be better off with the stiffer plastic sheets that are used as section dividers for reports. That's what I've used for quilt block pieces that are meant to be reused. There are also a variety of types of plastic sheets that can be found with blueprint and architectural supplies.

We've never had problems with the crayons and clothes and they come off fairly easy and it you can use a magic eraser on the table it'd come off even easier. As an added perk it took my little guy a while to figure out how they twisted and thus kept him from eating too much crayon ;-) he was two at the time. I'd buy these over markets any day.

allison, i hadn't used it yet,so i tried to tear out a page so i can answer your question. yes, they tear out easily.. just take the loose corner opposite the attatched corner you will be tearing away. raise the loose corner slowly putting pressure on the attatched corner and it will tear easily. just go slow.... the darice is a quality product... good luck... d.b.

No paper too thick. Tracing paper is best. fun to draw and trace on . My grandkids love it so does mom, especially on rainey days!

I have mixed feelings about this paper. It is very easily marred. You can make a mark or scratch in it with your fingernail. It is a spongy like material. If you wanted to experiment with it, you could probably just be prepared to change the paper every so often when it started looking shabby or got scratched. (I'm assuming it would have no protective cover ) It looks very realistic even up close but it's a bit fragile.

Both my toddlers easily chewed this and my youngest is now 2, but obviously it depends on the child. I sometimes use to break one in half and give little pieces, but it crumbles easily in my opinion. You could easily crush as well as that is what a friend of mine does with her 3 year old and mixes with honey. Great product!
