Top 10 Best Things to Color With

There's no shortage of options when it comes to coloring tools. You've got the classics like crayons that smell like childhood and melt in hot cars. Colored pencils for the control freaks and the detail chasers. Markers for the bold, the messy, the people who live dangerously and don't care if it bleeds through the page. And then there are the quirky ones like twistables, gel crayons, or scented tip markers that smell like fruit but somehow still give you a headache.

Some are basic. Others come with glitter or smell like strawberries if strawberries were made in a factory and lived in plastic barrels. There's the cheap stuff your dentist gives out that feels like you're scraping wax on concrete, and then there's the high-end gear with color names like Tuscan Sunrise and Cerulean Dreams. Yes, it's blue. But it feels fancier.

Now it's your turn to say what deserves the spotlight. Vote for your favorites. The ones that made your homework look artsy or your notebook margins a technicolor masterpiece. The things you reach for when it's time to tune out the world and zone into the page.

Crayola Makeup Line
Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils

My friend has these, and she let me use them.

Let me say this: I will NEVER look at Crayola the same way AGAIN. Great color options, for one thing. A very wide selection and multiple shades of every color. But let's talk about usage - AMAZING. No scratching sounds, no white streaks left where you missed a spot. The coverage and opacity are flawless, and the color applies like butter - just OH so smoothly. The pencils are very rich and pigmented, too. Definitely worth the money.
