Mr. Pen- Gel Crayons, 12 Pack, Non-Toxic, Twistable Crayons for Kids

I bought these because I wanted to use them to create backgrounds on my coloring pages in my adult coloring books,and it works super well for that..I have purchased several Mr.Pen products now,and all of them but one has been fantastic..a few years ago I had bought a set of some of their highlighter pens,and most of them were all dried out when I got them..I emailed the company and they made it right(this company has awesome customer service BTW)...anyway,these gel crayons are great,they do really well to create nice backgrounds,not only in my coloring books but the art in my sketchbooks too..I just scribble some of the color onto the page,and I use my finger or a small unused makeup brush and blend it out and it makes a really pretty background..sometimes I use two or three colors and they don't seem to get muddy..I really like this product,and IMO the company is awesome

I bought these for my 91 year old Mother, who has dementia. She focused and colored the first page beautifully.

These gel crayons are so bright, and smooth the yellow is almost like a high lighter that’s how bright in color they are. You have to be careful with them because they do go down pretty quick. Don’t have to put too much pressure on them at all. They are great!

I wasn't sure what to expect from these, using them was a total experiment. The colors are bright, and not quite opaque. Smudgable with a rag or fingertip, really blendable with water/damp rag. Honestly they feel a little like lipstick in consistency. Press down gently for a thin/light line, or firmly for a thick/dark one (but that tends to leave clumps). A little hard and stiff to twist up at first (from the colored bottom piece), but easier after that.The first image shows the opacity and blendability of the Mr. Pen gel crayons vs. Crayola washable paint sticks on black construction paper and white copy paper. The Crayola sticks dry pretty much as soon as they're laid down, don't blend or smudge (unless you get them pretty wet). The Mr. Pen sticks stay blendable and smudgable for a long time – so that may have a factor in how you use them. I use them for small art pieces (art cards, art journals) that won't be handled a lot; I haven't tried them in anything larger yet.Overall, I like the brightness of the colors, the smoothness of the gel, and how well the material responds to water. I wish that there was a little more variety in the colors in the set (that the colors were more dissimilar), and that the cap colors were a little more representative. The second image shows all the colors on plain white paper.

Pretty colors and nice application

My granddaughter and I absolutely love them. They are very dark and they roll out..

These are fun to use, which made the disappointment even greater when we discovered certain colors STAIN wooden surfaces. They feel buttery smooth, but are messier than I was expecting.

I found that this set of gel crayons for the price and quality cannot be beat! It goes on smoothly and students are able to decorate their painted art pieces with it! I don't have them color with the gel crayons...only use it to add detail and embellishment on their painted pieces. It doesn't smear as easily as some of the other brands out there! It does take some time to dry however it dries faster than some of the other brands. I bought many sets...one for each table! Great product! Would definitely purchase again!
