Crayola Tadoodles Crayon Buddies Review

I bought the Tadoodles Christmas 2007 when they were new because I thought they were so cute, as a present for my then 1 year old son.  He had no problem holding the animal crayon holders-  the problem was that the crayons would not stay in them!  Every time he turned them over to put crayon to paper it would immediately fall out.  I thought maybe they weren't in right so I took crayons out and put them back in again, then tried myself.  Same problem.

I bought another pack (they come in 3 packs, with packs of different colors available) thinking that I had gotten a defective pack, but we had the same problem again.  It's possible that they have been improved or something, since there is a more recent positive review, but I'm not wasting any more of my money to find out.

I purchased a pack of the good old-fashioned large crayons and my son had no problem holding them-  even at 1.
