But no 2 crayons are created equally, same goes for pens and pencils.. So I thought I would share with you my favorites & why they are my favorites, seeing as I have lots of experience with buying & using different brands.
So here goes...
Crayons
Favorite - Crayola. These are my favorite for the variety of colors they come in, plus they show up very well on all kinds of paper.
We have tried Dollar Store crayons, Crazy-Art crayons and other store brand crayons, but none of them match up with Crayola. Their colors either come out dull or they smear.
Dry Erase Markers
Favorite - Expo. The variety of colors are great, low odor, fine tip and wide tip's available.
We have tried others, but a lot of the time once you erase them you can still see what was written.
Paint Markers
Favorite - Do A Dot Art. Love the different colors they come in, easy for a toddler to hold on to, and not messy.
We haven't tried any other brands, not sure any other brands exist.
Pencils
Favorite - Dixon Ticonderoga. They write smooth, no smearing, and erase well.
We have tried store brands before, they smear and don't erase well.
Pens
Favorite - Bic Cristal Ball Pens Black or Blue. They don't clump, don't smear/smudge, and they write smooth. But whatever you do, do not buy the colorful ones, they clump & smudge really badly!!
We have tried lots of other brands of pens, they either clump or smudge.
Glue
Favorite - Elmer's. They hold strong and I love the convenient sticks.
Laminator
Favorite - Scotch Thermal. Fast, Easy and affordable (under $30)!
So those are some of our favorite products. I really love Crayola's other products too, like their colored pencils, markers, and paints. And If you are looking for a good highlighter I would absolutely recommend Sharpie Accent Smear Guard!
