Crayola Crayons have always been a dependable high quality crayon. The last years quality has gone down hill. This year takes the cake. I am an elementary school teacher and all the teachers agree that crayons are made thinner and break without effort. A crayon just needs to roll off the desk and it either snaps in half or the tip breaks off. For the students who take great pride in how they take care of the crayons - it's very upsetting. What was really an eye opener was finding an old box of crayons (about 5 or 6 years old ) in the back of my supply closet! The difference in quality was unmistakable. I can't believe that a company like Crayola has taken the cheap road. I know our school is looking for another brand of crayon that won't break so easily. It's frustrating to me as a teacher....but so much more frustrating for the kids trying to color! Come on Crayola! Bring back the quality !

When did Crayola stop putting pigments into their products Seems like this art supply is a cheap replacement for the crayons I used when I taught art. Young children aren’t physically able to transfer these weak colors to a paper. I would rate it 0 if it was available!

When I was 4 I snuck in my sister's room and borrowed her Crayola crayons and it had an sharpener with it I was drawn in immediately

Our 24 pack Crayons purchase for this school year are all very fragile. The tops all began snapping of on the first day of school. The students were not putting too much pressure on the crayons. It has happened to the teachers as well. I now have a small bucket full of "crayon hats". This has not ever happened in 15 years of teaching.
