I have used this product with a 3 yr old girl and we both love it.
Pros: The texture is super smooth. It glides over any paper or cardboard surface with no effort what so ever. The colors are vibrant and creamy and the trace very thick and dense. It is too thick to draw with it, but great for coloring. You can cover a lot of ground with very little effort, specially because you don't have to recolor the same spot twice. The thickness of the pen makes it very easy to manipulate for a toddler. I like the twist off feature (longer durability, easier storage, no need to sharpen). The seal of the cups and the crayon is perfectly calibrated: tight enough that my one year old cannot remove them but easy enough for the 3 year old.
Cons: All the cons probably related to the age of the user. My toddler presses too hard on the paper and there is some minimal crumbing at the tip. Even when used correctly the color takes one minute to settle, so expect a certain amount of it to transfer to skin and cloths, specially sleeves. She constantly drops the crayon open in the floor which results in color transfer. It washes off extremely easy with plain water or a wet wipe from skin, and clothes - still you probably don't want to use the crayons near a clear toned carpet.
In summary, this is not a product for a toddler to use unattended, but with minimal supervision is tons of fun. Highly recommendedGet more detail about Crayola 12ct. Twistables Slick Stix.
