Do these pencils really glow in the dark?

They glow under a blacklight, not in total darkness. The nine fluorescent colors react to UV light; on their own in a dark room they will not light up.

Do they show up on black paper?

Yes. The fluorescent colors are bright enough to read on dark paper, which is where the set works best.

No. Crayola lists this set as non-erasable, so marks are permanent on paper.

What ages are they for?

Crayola rates them for ages 3 and up, and they are non-toxic.

How do they compare with regular Crayola colored pencils?

The standard line has a wider, more natural palette and harder cores that hold a point longer. This set trades that range for bright neon and a blacklight effect.

Are the pencils pre-sharpened?

Yes, all 12 come pre-sharpened and ready to color.
