Mini Markers

These markers are extremely easy to use for toddlers and small kids. My kids started using these at age 2 and continue to use them now at age 4 & soon to be 5. The size of the markers is nice because they are still comfortable for big kids and adults to use. The colors are SO fun and vibrant. They go smooth on the paper and blend well with the variety of shades. The markers dry like normal markers do. These make a fun gift for the whole family. They are totally worth the price.

These inexpensive markers are reliable, versatile, and have a pretty good range of color. I'm sure they're great for kids, but I'm an adult doing the grown-up coloring thing, and I wanted a lot of colors without having to pay a lot of money. These are basic, but they don't work like cheap markers. Specifics: • You can use the point for a finer line, and the side for a broader line or for filling in larger area. • You can build the color a little bit, put one color on top of another to change the shading some. (They don't blend like an art-marker, obviously.) • They've got good ink flow, and good coverage with one pass. No bleed through on any decent paper, unless you really put a lot of ink in one spot. • Size: they're the same circumference as an average felt-tip pen (despite the "skinnies" name). Uncapped, they're about as long as a crayon, but with the cap posted on the back, it's like using a normal pen. (Some of the caps stay on the back better than others. All stay on the front just fine.) • They would not be super for small details (like the Secret Garden type books), or for drawing mandalas or other fine-line patterns. I have fine line pens (Stabilo 88) that are intermediate level, art-supply-wise, and use them if I'm getting serious about staying in the lines. • I anticipate that the point may eventually get "mushy" with use. It's not a huge issue for me because 1) they were inexpensive, 2) I was pleasantly surprised the points were as pointy as they were to start with, 3) I use them mostly for bigger areas. Verdict: for your basic level colored marker, this is a great value. Ignore the "pip-squeaks skinnies" name." It's versatile enough for adults to get their coloring fix.

I absolutely LOVE these. I'm a homeschool mom and I got them for use in checking the kids' school work. They love to pick the color for me to use on their school work. I only have one small complaint. Inside the main box are four smaller boxes used to hold the markers. Inside the bottom of the box are the "tabs" that fold in to hold the box together. Because of these tabs, the bottoms of the markers can get "stuck" and it was tricky to replace markers after taking one out. It usually involved taking out the small box and shaking it around to get the markers to move aside and then replacing the one I had taken out. Annoying. However, I found a "user hack" that would eliminate that problem. I just emptied each of the boxes and used backing tape to tape the tabs to the outside edges of the box. Still perfectly sturdy and now the bottom and inside edges are smooth - markers slide back in with no issues! The other issue is that the tops of the markers don't stay on the back end of the marker very tightly while you are using the tip. This is really only a problem because when I use them my grown-up sized hands put more pressure on the connection b/w the marker and the top. When the children use the markers, it's not a problem. My "hack" for this is just not to try to keep the marker top on the other end while I'm using it. Over all, the number and variety of colors I was able to get for the price was well worth the (very minor) inconvenience of using tiny markers. :-) (They are each about the size of your typical crayola crayon.)

Cute and fun sized! Pretty colors. They bleed through regular paper so watch out. Wash off hands and tables easily though

Fantastic set of Ultra Washable thin mini-markers! Crayola is always putting out good products like this! Nice price for so many colors!

Good colors

Perfect for 4-year-old and 6-year-old hands! And they're quite comfy in my own adult hands too. We are OBSESSED with these now and I may never go back to the original sized markers again. I grew up with the long skinny ones or the fat tip ones. But these are way better due to their size. I'm seeing my kids demonstrate much better control of the marker, so their art already looks better. My 4-year-old and 6-year-old love to ask me about their names since they're all cute: Melon, Honey Droplet, and Navy Niblet to name a few. One observation is that the box was not as perforated where you're supposed to open it so I ripped the box a bit. If I had taken 2 seconds to grab scissors I could have done a better job, so I won't deduct a star for my impatience.

Our favorite markers! 🥰

Minha filha amou as canetinhas, super recomendo.

Súper!!!

These are a good general marker for little hands! Our kids love that there are so many colour options and love reading the fun names attributed to the colours! There is an even distribution in the amount of shades for all colours.

These are great - so many colours, tones, helps kids get things just the way they want. And lets them develop their artistic talents. It occurs to me that the speed and saturation of these textas is vastly better than using pencils, for kids, they are not delayed in their creative surge by the slow clunky pencil, or crayon, and can rapidly create. I do believe my 6yo daughter's talent has BOOMED since using these. So, everyone should have some. Also, easy to shove back into their tiny boxes inside the bigger box. Note: they are shorter than most textas.

Like: Colours do not mix. Dislike: NA. Use to colour.
