I'd add to the above review, which is spot on, that these pens have the added bonus of very large lids - If you have one of those 'keep you on the edge of your seat' kids who insist on trying to choke themselves on(or put in their eyes, ears and up their nose) anything to hand these are brilliant as they simply can't fit them in!!! They've lasted awhile too.

I was unsure which markers to buy my 14month old but gave these a go and I'm very pleased that I did, there's a large range of colours, they are easy to hold and my little girl has found them very easy to use, a lot more so than crayons. These are perfect for when she wants a change from paints, and so far they have washed out of her clothes fine in a normal wash.
I would definitely recommend these and definitely buy them again.

These pens are great for little fingers. My daughter is 19 months and holds the pens really nicely because they are not too big. They have the benefit of being washable which is in my opinion a must. I would really like to see some pens that are triangle in shape as the only downfall as with most pens is that they roll off the table.

Love these mini markers. Just the right size to carry around permanently in a handbag with a small notepad, and hey presto! Instantly quiet children when out and about in the cafe, in church, at the doctors... Lovely bright colours that seem to last for ages.

In a nutshell these 'Pipsqueaks' are fab little pens. Lots of colours in a set that have good felt nibs to them.

For my daughters I keep them in the car for car trips as I find they are ideal to use and don't take up a lot of space.

Not only are they washable (I found marks on the carpet and they came out quite easily) which is good news for Mums, or any parent/carer but they are colourful & bright too and I think little ones are motivated more when using these compared to boring grey or even coloured pencils or crayons. I remember how frustrating it was for my daughter when she pressed down on her pencils so hard that they snapped too often. With these you need very little effort at all before you see the wet colours glide on the page. We love the names each shade has been given as well: Dinky Pink, Little Boy Blue and Golden Nugget to name just three.

My daughter actually learnt to write her name using these pens, and later with the slimmer Crayola Supertips Washable - Pack of 12 as well.
They encourage excellent pen control from the very start, so there's no need to buy x.large chunky crayons or markers thinking they will suit your toddler better (in my opinion they won't).
Crayola Pip-Squeaks are just perfect for learning little hands!

There is not much you can say about colouring-in pens. Well, they are different colours, and well, er, they look like pens. But.... they are a great size for little hands, and they have fancy names for all the colours. I was actually quite impressed. And the good news, they do seem to last under the usual immense pressure from the wee ones!

We have these and the Crayola Beginners markers, and these are much better. The fact that these markers are smaller, enables the child to have better grip and control over them. They come with 14 colours so plenty to use and loose! It is great they are washable, as my daughter draws on her fingers/hands/feet/clothes, and we have been always to remove the stains by a simple rinse.

Highly Recommended.

Who ever thought that it would make any kind of difference what markers you buy?! Well, wait till your 3 year old becomes obsessed with colouring. Turns out, there are quite a few features you can want in a marker (other than: it works!) and these seem to have them all.
Demand no.1, 2 and 3 (for me at least) washability!!! Turns out, many manufacturers are liars, but these wash out of anything so far. Clothes, faces, hands, hardwood floors, table cloths and furniture fabric.
The colours are vibrant and with 14 in a pack, lot's to choose from. They colour at any angle (unlike the Crayola Beginnings, which seems to work less at an angle). They fit tiny hands well but because the caps are large and fit tightly on the other end, you can transform them into grown up size markers if your kid wants you to help out (also like, stated in an other review, the size makes them less of a chocking hazard). The last very long (had them since xmas and my girl colours A LOT) and so far, seem to be crush-proof.
Lastly, because they are small, they are ideal to pop in little compartments of (hand)bag, car door, stroller, etc. with a few sheets of paper as instant entertainment on the go.
(oh yeah, and my girl loves to stick them together tip to end and make long towers :-) )
Brilliant value for money, will be buying them again and again (though so far, the first pack is still working fine, knock wood)

I bought these crayons to take on holiday abroard not too bulky and long
a good choice of colours
value for money 100%

My son can color with these markers all day! The size is perfect for his little hands and he loves the bright colors. We are learning the names of the colors while he draws.
They are extremely washable too, just a quick wipe with a cloth and any marks on the floor/wall/table go away. Washes out of clothes easily and washes off skin right away under the tap, if he chooses to color his arms!
I am very happy with these. Crayola is a great company.
