Crayola Colors of the World Colored Pencil Set (24ct)

These pencils are not good at all. I only bought them to mess around with and I know they are crayola and meant for kids, but I would feel bad if a kid had to practice art using these pencils. I wasn't expecting any kind of professional quality, but for the price they are terrible. I don't remember crayola being this bad when I was a kid. The pencil is so hard and scratchy while coloring and half the pencils feel like you have to press so hard just to get the color to show up, even the darker colors. And the wood isn't smooth feeling in the hand. I have a set of Amazon Basics pencils that are a million times better than Crayola and more affordable. As for the skin tone options because I don't know if Amazon Basics has just a skin tone set, I would recommend faber castell black edition in skin tones or the Kalour skin tones for affordable options that are still much more pleasant to use. Very disappointed in Crayola.
