This is overall a nice product - 48 chalks that work well, BUT they are more like pastels, not bright, primary colors! The pictures on the box do not truly match the colors inside. I mean this is a company that is all about COLOR! Just be more accurate in the descriptions on the outside of the box! I was very surprised when I opened up the box! The colors are nice but beware - there is no true red, green, blue or purple! I have photos.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We LOVE these colors—vivid for the best sidewalk pictures, so it pains me to say these colors stain! The red and black got us good and we have to replace the pieces of clothing. So beware! Wear something you don’t care about ruining (or don’t get it on you, but with a two & three year, that wasn’t happening for us!)

However, we’d like to help by sharing a cleaning tip suggested by our Research & Development team. Place stained area on paper towels and blot with alcohol.

Can’t really rate but I’m sure it’s excellent. Want to purchase but need to know How does this work on wall painted with chalkboard paint? Regular crayons sidewalk chalk works great but is not very vibrant. Will this product erase or will it stain?

We're glad you asked! Washable Sidewalk Chalk is intended to wash from concrete and asphalt sidewalks and driveways. We have not tested this specifically for chalkboard painted walls, and are unsure of the results they will yield. Hope this helps, and wish you the best for colorful days ahead!
I do a lot of sidewalk art and this is the brand I prefer. Rich colors at a decent price. Will note that for great blending, I use my thumb to smooth chalk into sidewalk-both with and against the direction I pull the chalk (never push).
I just wish there was an option to purchase single colors in bulk. (If there is, Crayola rep person, PLEASE let me know!)
We often buy chalk as my Child enjoys coloring with it. whenever i buy the packs they are often broken. I wish they would make all of them wrapped in plastic as some of them are. Sometimes I see they are wrapped in plastic by 4s in the box which helps to keep them from breaking, it makes them last longer, and I can keep some and give some to the daycare. I also noticed the ones that are wrapped in plastic are often the ones that don’t break very easily. When it is not wrapped in plastic and they come Intact they often break right when we use them, which is very frustrating! Why do you wrap SOME in plastic but others not?? Just wrap them all the same.

Chalk said it was washable, and Crayola is a trusted brand, so I thought "What could go wrong?" and I let my daughter have the time of her life with this chalk. Now I have stained clothing, a stained playhouse, stained patio furniture, stained porch posts, stained siding, and a stained storm door. Yes, I realize that sidewalk chalk is meant for the sidewalk, but it said washable, so I wasn't worried. I have had Sharpie stains that were easier to get out. Power washing and bleach/scrub brush won't even get rid of these stains!
