We tried crayons, but because the ones we had required some pressure to get a mark, she didn't enjoy it much. We got the super washable Crayola 8-pack (they wash off really easily!), stuck her in a cardboard box, and let her go to town! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1355231 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:47:24 +0000 Radish 1355231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Haha, not exactly. They just have a box of a bunch of leftover ones they were only used a little. 4 kids = a lot of boxes of crayons over the years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1355126 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:24:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 1355126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: @scg00387: hmm, you know, I assumed only the ones that specifically stated they were washable were washable... Not sure if they all are?? I don't really wanna risk it though! :)</p> <p>@Bao: we have the triangle ones too. We find that they still break pretty easily </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354711 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:20:47 +0000 littleveesmommy 1354711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got DD the P'Kolino Triangle Crayons. The shape and larger size made it easy for her to grip starting at around 12 months plus the were an ease to clean up. Highly recommend them! She's been using them daily for almost a year and they still look great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354663 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:13:59 +0000 Mrsbells 1354663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother bought regular crayons for LO so that's what we use. I don't let her use it unless she is in her high chair so she can't make too much of a mess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354659 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:12:10 +0000 autumnlove 1354659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chunky washable Crayolas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354560 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:34:15 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1354560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like stockmar-- the colors are really vibrant and they are excellent quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354554 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:31:48 +0000 immabeetoo 1354554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: did your parents save them for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354550 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:30:54 +0000 Bao 1354550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: all Crayola are washable aren't they? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354547 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:29:54 +0000 Bao 1354547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Crayola "my first crayons" they are triangle and washable.

However, whenever I remember I'm investing in ColorWonder products. She doesn't try to color on things other than paper, it just happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354512 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:21:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 1354512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have and really like these M&amp;D triangular crayons. Thick, don't roll away, and hard to break (although he has chipped the tip off of two of them). </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Jumbo-Triangular-Crayons/dp/B000MRGWRQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1389914453&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+crayons" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Jumbo-Triangular-Crayons/dp/B000MRGWRQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1389914453&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=melissa+and+doug+crayons</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354506 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:20:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 1354506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make sure to get the washable crayolas. Unfortunately I haven't found them in the jumbo size yet and they keep breaking, but it's vital that they be washable for us because she tends to get them everywhere (hardwood floor, table, etc). </p> <p>I would be interested if ppl had suggestions for sturdier washable crayons :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-crayon-recommendations#post-1354493 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:17:01 +0000 immabeetoo 1354493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has had fun with crayons at the kid's museum so I thought I'd try some at home.</p> <p>I've looked at some of the eco-friendly versions, and the chunkier Crayola versions, and would like some recommendations! </p>
