How do these compare to the Neocolor II crayons?

I'm sorry, I have never used Neocolor I crayons. However, Gelatos remind me of a tube of lipstick. The texture is similar. When applied to a surface, they spread smoothly. The colors are vibrant but not neon. They can be mixed with water if desired. I like Gelatos so much that I bought my 12-year-old granddaughter a box for her birthday.

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.

The larger crayons are made for more aggressive hands that may not have fine motor skills yet. They are less likely to break and they will not be used up as quickly. If the 4 year old has good motor skills and can understand working delicately, then these would be just fine.

I have a set of these and a set of manga tiles. These are a little thinner and the magenta are slightly less powerful, but for the price they're fantastic! I would highly recommend these and buy them again.

In our opinion yes these are better then AmeriColor, but each person has a preference. We think the colors mix better and have a brighter/bolder color as an end result.

Well I have tried them not for landscape but for fruits the result was not too wonderful I expected more for a thick core pencil crayons but it contains all the earthly colours. Crayola 50 also contains all the earthly tones and to me they are better set than these. Prisma lightfast is better than the two, but I haven't seen a 24 pack in a while. Only 15 pack but this set doesn't contain that much colors.

Dear Nilli,Thank you for your inquiry.The only difference is that the first was solid in color and the II has the gradient pattern where it starts off darker at the bottom and get lighter towards the top. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

It's not easy because the crayon is a bit wider and it is softer. I just tried it.

My 3 year old grandson has some of both and I would say that they are comparable. They both hold up to his playing with them about the same. He has not worn either of them out.

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 like them both. I got the Tombow around the end of the year because they were on sale for around $100 for the whole set, a lot of different colors. I really liked them. They are a lot of good colors and have a smaller diameter barrel--just almost like holding a bit thicker pencil. I like experimenting to see what I can do with the different markers as sometimes it is a lot of work to set up to paint when I just want to do a picture now. Prismacolor is a bit thicker barrel but appears to work well too but I only have the smaller sets and am still experimenting. Copic markers are refillable and so are the Spectrum Noir. Copic has good brush makers and you have to purchase brush tips to put into the Spectrum Noir. Out of the four, I still think Tombow is my favorite but unfortunately not refillable. I don't believe Prismacolor is refillable either. I am still experimenting with all of them but at this point this is what I can offer. I hope this helps.

honestly i prefer a crayola to these. they sharpen easy enough but the wax is almost to waxy. i would recommend spending just a few extra bucks and go for the prismacolor scholars. very nice and not nearly as expensive. hope that helped

Prismacolor colored pencils are wax based, so unlike the usual Crayola, they do not leave a "powdery" substance behind. However, like Travis mentioned prior to my comment, they will eventually leave a waxy buildup, but it's more of a thin film that you can scrape off gently if it bothers you. Other than that, there's very even coverage, and they should work fine.

No. I think they are less intense actually. But they are great for gripping by a toddler, and neither the crayons or the case have broken despite constant dropping and rough use.

I was just using them with my grandson today and they are the same as any other Crayola crayon. The are not soft or hard. The advantage of them is that they do not break and when you get low with a color you just turn the bottom and you have the color again.

They are similar to thin crayolas like the other person mentioned. If you're looking for more of a pen tip style look at the frixion pencil like pens.
