Crayola Tadoodles First Marks Beginnings Utility Vehicle (BUV) Reviews

In addition to the Crayola TaDoodle markers, crayons and paints several accessories are available.  To store your TaDoodles Markers, try the Crayola Beginnings Utility Vehicle (BUV).  This "car" stores three of the TaDoodles Markers and encourages not only fine motor skills through the use of the markers, but also gross motor skills as children can push and pull the Utility Vehicle around the room. The unique rounded design of the bottom of the markers makes it difficult to store by traditional means and without caps, parents may be concerned about drying out.  The Utility Vehicle stores them...

My son is 22 months old.  We tried these once before when he was 16 months and I assumed he was too young.  He has excellent motor skills so I thought he'd be ready now.

These are awkward to hold and even when he gets a grip he has to hold them completely stright up and down to have it make a mark.  Instead of having fun, he wound up being completely frustrated. 

As for not making a mess, we both have first marks all over our hands and fingers.

my 23 month ols son loves these. they are a bit expensive but kids love them, very fun
