Will this sharpen Crayola large crayons? I cannot find anything to sharpen these with!

You can try since I'm not sure if they can sharpen the huge crayons. Probably it can as long as they fit inside the huge hole.

I'm not saying that I don't like prang pencils, the rich colors are wonderful. The neons are pretty well saturated and bright. All the colors blend well with all my other pencils. Crayola is great too, but we only have one problem. they all break in the shaft of the pencils. "Of course they do," you say, what am I to do? Nothing, I get my trusty box cutter out and whittle away, I get great points. There are a lot of sharpeners out there, I have found one that really puts a great point on . Good luck!

Yes it will sharpen the fat triangle pencils just fine, and I imagine it will work fine for fat crayons too.

Absolutely. I use an array of pencils from Prismacolor/Faber-Castell/Fantasia and the sharpener works well. This by far, has been the best one.

I haven't melted crayons in these, but I've melted crayons in other things. I would guess they'd ruin the mould. It's a very thin plastic mould so I don't think it'd cope so well. Also these frogs end up pretty big so I think they might be too big for crayons that are easy/comfortable to use. Hope that's of help.

Carolyn'I have never had to use this product on crayon but it should work fine. It has been a winner for all applications I have used it on but you best call Guardsman directly any explain your issue. Normally they're the best source. Good luck!

It sharpens my colored pencils beautifully. Haven't tried water color pencils but see no reason why it wouldn't.

I bought it as a gift for a friends child but I did use it with the child. It seemed to me that any Crayola marker would fit. I would suggest trying other markers or google refills or search for refills on amazon. Hope that helps.

With care they will not break, but they will grind down very quickly so don't push it in for long periods. Sorry burst works best. On a side note, the art teacher at school doesn't allow the students to use colored pencils in this sharpener for that very reason. You will do fine.

I don't think it will. My sharpener doesn't even sharpen the regular pencils. It's back in the box, my students refused to use it (was used less than a month and was not abused I guess I should throw it away but it looks good and Spent a lot of money on it).

Yes. I use for crayola ones. Gives a greater angle to the point than what they come with, but works fine.

I bought it specifically for faber-castell pastel pencils... I've sharpened 60 to a fine point with minimal waste, and zero breaking. The motor is slower than the average sharpener which is perfect... the secret is to press down firmly but only for a moment, and let the sharpener do the work, holding the pencil still. Perfect results every time. I get the same results with General's and Wolff's carbon pencils, as well as General's Primo pencils. Hoping that is helpful.

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.

Yup, it'd work with regular pencils. In fact, when sharpening Prismacolors, it's recommended to sharpen a regular pencil every so often, to clean the blade and "oil" it with graphite. So I've sharpened a regular drawing pencil in it several times. Gets graphite pencils ridiculously sharp.

No Melissa. My sons and I having been using a regular pencil sharpener. But if you do try the sharpener, please let me know if I missing out.

inside diameter of the unit appears to be 8.58 mm. It may sharpen your large diameter pencil, but its going to be close and tight. I think I would call the Carl company and ask them before I spent the money.

So far, regular and colored pencils sharpen equally well. No problems so far:)
