Bambino are crayons that I was using since I was little. It's a Polish brand, popular in Poland (where I'm from) and I love them... their smell brings up so many memories :) It's a product that is supposed to be affordable and used by children. I don't live in Poland anymore, but I still couldn't resist and when I was back home I still needed to buy new Bambino set :)
Thankyou, my bambino’s arrived today the REVOLUTIONARY thing about them for me is that they blend and smudge with a wet finger….that has made my day. I live in UK so haven’t had the same mission getting hold of them, but they are well worth the price. They feel a little like progresso wood less colours but less waxy. I am very pleased with them ❤️
I'm not a crayon fan. I was when I was a child, but as an adult, unless they change the way they lay down on paper, I'm good with my pencils. But I absolutely appreciate the video. You never know, I may try them one day?
Hi Jennifer!! I’m so glad you took my suggestion and bought these crayons even if it took 3 times!! Lol!! I can’t wait to see what you think of them!! They look amazing!!🥰
Neat! I do like the Neocolor though. They look wonderful. I wonder if the bambino crayons would fit in a pencil extender so when they get shorter, you can hang onto them better.
I’ve ordered from Bambino crayons twice and had no issues with shipping or damage. I love the crayons when coloring a larger area. Being clay based you can layer over with colored pencils to save on your colored pencils. I prefer the crayons to the jumbo crayons as they have a bit brighter pigment in my opinion and go down a bit smoother.
It’s been ok, here in the UK and It just recently got a bit better, when we were in lockdown it would take 2 - 21/2 weeks for something to get here but I just had a letter from my mum only take a week and a couple of days ( which is still behind, but better) also when I sent my daughter a birthday present from the UK it took 3 weeks for her to get it and she had said US shipping and mail was slow, so I think it all depends on what your shipping and the situation with the lockdowns, it seems to be flowing a bit better at the moment!
Bambino is my childhood. They were definitely an upgrade from wax crayons for the 5-6 years old me. They last longer, they're less messy, and they don't break as easily. You can also sharpen the crayon and use the dust like pastels. And since they're harder than wax crayons, when you sharpen them, you can actually colour smaller details. I still have my ancient set of 12 with some even older extras :) When you don't use them for a long time though, they get this white "dust" on them, but you can just wipe it off (or don't, they work either way).
The Bambinos are very good, they feel more like pencils than like crayons, and leave much less dust and fragments. What is amazing about them is how much colour they can lay down without you noticing any wearing down of the crayon.
I love a beautiful box of crayons and I always buy a new box for all my grandchildren every year because art and being creative is so important. The sooner you can get them into art all the better. After the trouble you had ordering I am alittle leary, but I enjoyed watching your video!
You might be interested in watching the famous artist Johanna Basford’s utube. She colored one of her designs with the Bambino’s and liked them very much!
The Japanese Uni Mitsubishi Ponky Pencils I bought recently seem to be like these Bambinos but more pigmented! I think u can try the ponky set of 12 tat also comes with a sharpener. Amazon do sell them!
BAMBINO is a Polish company, these crayons are unique and definitely the best. If you have problems with delivery from the UK, why not try to order straight from Poland...
Wow they look fantastic. Gonna have to get some. Am thinking of a new A3 size project which these would be great for. Im in the UK so hopefully ill be able find them
A couple of my artist 🎨 painting friends one in the UK and one in USA were talking about how awful the shipping to and from the UK is in the last 3 or 4 months.
I saw Johanna Basford demo these 4 months ago. I see now they are available to order from Amazon USA and will be available shortly. Would you recommend a fixative when using these?
Roughly half the size and roughly half the price of the Neocolors. So why not just buy the superior product? These seem... fine, I guess. Nothing I need to have, even with them being really "affordable" as I'm in the UK.
Love your videos Jennifer! But I guess I’m not sure why you would bring in Crayola Crayons to do a comparison to virtually anything. Crayola Crayons are widely known to be crumbly with minimal pigment and this is why, of course, they’re inexpensive and an all-around younger kid’s coloring product. I see that Bambino’s are also marketed to kids, but because they’re made from clay and not so well-known as Crayola Crayons, it makes sense to do a review comparing them to an assumed better product…like Caran D’Ache Neocolor 1, because as we all know, sometimes kid’s art products can be used by adults too with pretty good results for hobby art work and the like. So just wondering. Thanks. 🙂
Many many moons ago when dinosaurs roamed the we were rather poor. So to appease the artist in me would be given a small box of Crayolas for birthdays and Christmas. Occasionally I got a coloring book. The rest of the time when I filled the book, I would color on the brown paper grocery bags. Which were then used as garbage bags. LOL! We had the prettiest garbage bags in the neighborhood.
Crayola makes a great product to compare things to because almost everyone has experience with it. When I say “the smell of a Crayola crayon” almost everyone knows what I’m talking about. As a UA-cam creator, I am always trying to find ways to help the viewer have the experience with me…what better way then to use a product I can almost guarantee they have had in their hand at some point in their life. When I color compare the Bambino next to the Crayola, the viewer instantly has a frame of reference and trust for the results I am showing them.

They should call them 'clayons'. 😏
Ha ha I get it because they are made of clay lol
Hi Jennifer!! I’m so glad you took my suggestion and bought these crayons even if it took 3 times!! Lol!! I can’t wait to see what you think of them!! They look amazing!!🥰
Wow Jennifer....your style has certainly refined as has my coloring! Happy New Year to you and Steve!
Neat! I do like the Neocolor though. They look wonderful.

There must be a huge Bambino fan working somewhere in the postal service 😁
😂😂😂😂
thank you so much for reviewing these! ive been looking into trying different art supplies and this review was really helpful and comprehensive
Have watched several videos on bambino’s so I ordered..$32 to USA…now I wait and hope they arrive safely…thank you
Really lovely crayons, superb quality for the price and lay down so beautifully on all kinds of paper!
Great video, like them! Kind company to work with you on issues.
Hello Jennifer. I am so glad you did the review on this product. I know when I can I will be getting me a set or two. Big hugs

I'm very excited to see you test and review this product. I'm always looking for something new to add to my coloring collection!

I haven’t heard of these crayons so it was interesting to see them in use.😊
Am so glad you make all that for us tank’s a lot xx

I have been trying to buy these as well so looking forward to seeing you use them!
This is the first time that I have heard about clay crayons
I love my Bambinos!! Thank you forn the review.

The Uni Ponky Pencils are like a crossbreed btw colored pencils & crayons! Sure hope u can also get them & review them dear Jennifer!

I think what we need to remember about the bambino products is they are aimed at children so colour scheme isn’t really that vital.

¡Hola! Jennifer, te quedó bellísimo, me encanta como coloreas, aunque no habló ingles, me gusta ver tus videos. Saludos desde México.
Wow they look fantastic. Gonna have to get some. Am thinking of a new A3 size project which these would be great for. Im in the UK so hopefully ill be able find them
Love the Clay Crayons 🙂
This is new to me I've never heard of the crayons
I've never heard of this product
you should try out the stabilo woody 3 in 1s! they're really fun :)
A couple of my artist 🎨 painting friends one in the UK and one in USA were talking about how awful the shipping to and from the UK is in the last 3 or 4 months.
I love your nails!
Hot crayon art, reminds me of when I made beautiful “crayon pies” with my newish Holly Hobbie toy oven. Kinda ruined it for cookies….
Great comparison of the crayons😊
How about trying a pencil extender with the Bambino crayons?
I was thinking the same but they may be too fragile or small to use with an extender
I saw Johanna Basford demo these 4 months ago. I see now they are available to order from Amazon USA and will be available shortly. Would you recommend a fixative when using these?
Wow thanks for posting this, I will buy from amazon then
I would love to see you do some real encaustic paints!
I've actually never heard a reference to Neocolor I, that I recall. What's the difference in those and the Neocolor II? Are they also water-soluble?
Neocolor 1 aren't water-soluble. Here's a video Jennifer did comparing them with Crayola crayons.

Never tried crayon. , it might be good for my hands because of pain , May be one day I will try the English one when the kids come to visit
Try the Bambino crayons 🖍on a heated surface.
Thank you for sharing!

Oo you should check out the Brunfunter colored pencils. They come in 520 colors and they are creamy
Hello Jennifer Steve and Rose
