I always loved these and still do. When I was a kid (70s), the sharpener wasn't great, but it works well now. They're the classic 64 box. My only issue, and I was so disappointed by this, when I opened the brand new box, they're was no crayola crayon smell. I always loved the smell of new crayons. So, I don't know if they changed it on purpose, or if it went along with other changes, but I would love the smell to still be there! I do a lot of coloring because I've been laid up for a while, and even though I'm in mid 50s, I decided to add crayons to my pens, pencils and markers. Sometines you just need to color with crayons. It's good ya. Hopefully next time I buy crayons, they'll have that wonderful smell again!
I was unable to find the ‘64 Crayons & Case’ bundle set on the site to review, so I will name my issues here. The positive is that they are Crayola crayons. They’re good quality, and these crayons will last a while. However, in the set, there are some problems. The case included displays crayons for storage, but also for view, being it’s whole purpose. The box art for the crayon box itself is outdated, and still includes dandelion as one of the colors shown on the back, as well as the top of the box. This makes it a problem when trying to sort it so you can actually make it nice for viewing. It doesn’t help matters that the crayons in the box don’t come sorted in any way. While this part does make sense, when combined with the inaccurate box art, you are unable to sort them in any meaningful way. However, they are still good quality crayons, and if this wasn’t a set meant for display, this all wouldn’t be a problem. But with it’s whole purpose being displaying crayons, it’s somewhat problematic. I wouldn’t recommend getting the case and 64 pack set, but I wouldn’t object to getting the actual 64 pack if all you’re wanting is some good quality crayons. These are still Crayola crayons, and there is nothing wrong with the crayons themself. But I would not recommend the set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought these crayons today to replace a much older box that I lost. The colors on the box are very misleading and not like the actual colors inside. And the newer crayons don’t color as darkly as the older ones. I guess that’s just another deterioration of product over the years. I really miss all the brighter colors of yesteryear.

We're sorry you were let down by your new box of 64 ct. Crayons, Cindy. Surely we want every new pack to bring back that nostalgic feeling you'd get when opening your array of Crayola Crayons. If you could please contact us at 1-800-CRAYOLA, we'd like to learn more about how we may further improve. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
I purchase crayons to give out as prizes to our students in a drawing. Our students are in distance learning and crayons seem to work the best and most affordable for online Art lessons.
