Looks can be deceiving - B. Bjorum - Los Angeles, CA USA
I thought this would be the perfect gift for my budding 4 year old artist. Was I ever wrong! The nicest thing about this 'art' center is the case it comes in. The crayons and oil pastels have barely any color pigments- the oil pastels are almost entirely wax. The color pencils are not much better, and the water color tubes are hard to handle for small hands and don't yield better result than the inexpensive kids versions. The markers are okay, but they were not the selling point for me since young children need to experiment with color blending. She's going back to her REAL art supplies.

Not oil pastels - Emily Ross-brown - Oakland, CA
We got two sets of these for our kids for Christmas, knowing that the Alex brand has a great reputation - I was really disappointed to find that the oil pastels are actually just plain old wax crayons and they don't actually color very well - the colors are weak and insipid.

Not what I would expect from Alex!
