Which is what crayons are wont to do in little hands.
I think Crayola would have been better served making these a bit thicker for tiny yet strong hands. The same way they have those super big crayons for pre-school.
Another thing, you may consider just getting the bath crayons. The board is cute, but Lydia prefers a bigger canvas and only used the board for a few moments before moving onto the great big tub and tile. Don't fool yourself, they're going to color on the tile. (; Wipes away easy enough though!
If you go to Babies R Us, you will find Baby Einstein crayons for $3.99. A nice replacement with the same sleeves included. Colors include Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Black and Orange.
ETA: The easiest way I've found to clean the tub after a couple of sessions of crayon play it to spray the surfaces with Scrubbing Bubbles, let it sit for a few moments, and wipe away. There is a bit more elbow work required otherwise.

3 yr old was fighting each night to take bath, now asks to take bath. Great toy. Adult needed to open the crayon compartments (and I have a hard time -nothing to grasp on), but she learned to hold them open to keep from closing. Crayon is suprisingly dark, and yet easy to rub off. She cleans the surface herself with a wash cloth.Best Deals for Crayola Floating Art Desk
I only wish the crayons were thicker so they wouldn't break so quickly!I purchased this for my 20 month old and she absolutely loves this. She comes to the shower when I'm in it saying "color" and tries to get in just to color with it on the wall! I will put her in the shower and let her color while I shower, then get out, and let her continue to color while I'm getting dried off then bathe her. She actually hates getting out of the bathtub now!
I'd recommend this to anyone with children who love to draw or color. The crayon marks are easily removed off of any tile or ceramic tub (though I don't know how well it would work with those plastic/laminate ones) and with the side compartments to hold the crayons in with the holes so the crayons can dry, there's no crayons lying all over the bathtub.
The most used Christmas gift yet (and even loved by my 9 year old son!)

My 6 yr old son loves this one. He can draw and use his imagination, unlike the floating dolphin musical rings. It suction cups to the shower wall, has compartments for the crayons. Well worth the money.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Crayola Floating Art Desk
My son, who just turned two, heartily enjoys this toy.The only major complaint I have about it is that while it has compartments on both sides of the "canvas" for storing the crayons, those compartments are not easy for me to open, much less a 2-year old. The compartments have an indentation where one is presumably supposed to squeeze and open the chamber, but it doesn't work so well for us. This has actually become a little maddening and frustrates my little one. A small quibble, but it would be great if this toy were slightly modified to make the compartments a little easier to get in to.
