Crayola 200-Piece Masterworks Art Case

My 5 year old loves drawing and colouring. He really wanted a Ben 10 art set for Christmas. I bought him this, added a few stickers and bobs your uncle it fitted the bill perfectly. I love Crayola pens as the ink is completely water soluble. Also great that I'll be able to refill with Crayola products as and when necessary. Expensive, but worth it in my opinion. A word of warning...that's not a nice wooden box.

The Crayola 200 piece Masterworks Art Case was (in it self) a good product. However when it arrived--whether it was damaged prior to packaging or after----the wooden handle was broken and there was a big piece off the side of the wooden case. Could have sent it back but how do you have a grandaughter give it up on Christmas Day???????????????????? At least Crickets answered me back about this but AMAZON did not. So here is the review from an unha.ppy customer

Great product came with many choices like color pencils, paints, lots of color pen choices and safety scissors. Only thing is the plastic tray inside had come loose so you have to open/ close it carefully and holding the tray in place.

He loves to draw and his older brother, age 12, and 9 yr old friend also liked it very much. It was a very good holiday gift.

The contents of the case are wonderful! It contains crayons, colored pencils, markers, oil markers, water colors (with one small brush), glitter, glue, scissors (no paper). I bought this for my 8 yr. old grandson who enjoys and does well in using art to express himself. The case arrived in shrink wrap. I immediately saw the handle was cracked and one edge of the case was chipped. The handle broke in two. Rather than return it and since we do woodworking, I decided we would repair the handle. We have glued it. The repair was not perfect; and I now must sand and restain. In retrospect I could have bought something equal to this case at an arts and crafts store or possibly bought each of the Crayola contents in separate packages. The contents are great; the case very disappointing. I bought the smaller art kit for my granddaughter. The colors were packed in Crayola boxes. Paper, scissors and glue included. I had to set up the kit. We have to glue in the liners of the case. When you close the lid the contents fall out.

Found it at Sears, Toys R Us, and similar all for 25% less.

I bought this for $20 on clearance. You would be insane to pay $98 for this. It’s mostly crayons and markers. Case is OK.

This set was all that it was advertised to be. Over the years, we have purchased lots of art supply sets for our children and grandchildren and usually end up disappointed. This set is truly complete, well organized and well worth double the price we paid. Thanks, Crayola and Amazon for making this quality collection available to us.
