Just great! Our oldest kids are 5 and 3 years. They ignore since we the thicknesses of Woody have all felt and other colored pencils. The Woodys are ideal in the hand and also dwarfs a large area without convulsions painting. In addition, the pins have great luminous and opaque colors. Especially at Christmas time we have used them much since even silver & gold pens are! A great gift for little Picasso of all ages.
