    Crayon Rocks 16 Natural Crayons in Muslin Bag

    This bag contains 16 colourful soy wax Crayon Rocks in a cotton muslin storage bag.

    Made from soy wax and coloured with mineral pigments Crayon Rocks are a fun and creative way for children to draw and colour in pictures and practice their mark-making. As well as being lots of fun these rock shaped crayons are extremely durable and long-lasting, and allow children to colour in large wide strokes and help strengthen the tripod grip muscles.

    These unusual pebble shaped crayons are specially designed to be ergonomic in preschoolers hands and are developmentally appropriate for early years learning. Designed by American Special Needs teacher Barbara Lee, who knew how important it was for all children to develop a good, strong “tripod” grip (using thumb, first and second fingers to grip) and develop fine motor skills, in preparation for learning to write. A brilliant first colouring tool for young children, in lovely vibrant colours that can be layered to create textures and beautiful artwork. Made in rural Kentucky in the USA and certified non-toxic and are vegan friendly.

    Size 3.5cm

    Safe, non-toxic, eco-friendly, vegan, phthalate free

    Suitable for 3+ years. WARNING, not suitable for under 3 years - choking hazard

    Sensory play: Develops fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, tripod grip and concentration.

    Crayon rocks were originally created by a special needs education teacher for her students. The shapes help strengthen little muscles preparing children for using pen and pencil. Crayon rocks are simply great fun too and children love using them. Get creative!

Love these

As soon as these arrived they were immediately out of the bag and being used. My daughter loves colouring but has trouble making marks with some of our regular crayons as she doesn't have enough strength in her hands yet. The grip is a perfect fit for her and she has loved seeing the results of her creativity.
I did find they left a bit of residue on fingers, but nothing that didn't wash off.

Good for pencil grasp development but wears quickly

Great unusual shape for crayons which intrigues the little ones. I got them for my 5 year old to help him with pencil grasp skills and they are great for that but they do wear quite quickly and my son managed to break one in half as he dropped one on the floor.

Wish I’d brought sooner

I overlooked these thinking my son was too grown up for these, but I was so wrong. I hadn’t realised then that these were created to encourage the pincer grip. Something my son struggles with. Since buying these they’ve barely left his side. He adores them. I plan on adding the skin colour set next.

Helps develop fine motor skills

This is a better option to traditional crayons for little hands as the shape is perfect for gripping and is designed to strengthen the pincer grip muscles preparing little fingers and hands for handwriting. This also helps develop and improve their fine motor skills which is a lot of occupational therapists and early learning teachers recommend it.
We're also happy to learn that this is made in the US with US grown soybeans and mineral powders. They are vibrantly coloured and produces beautifully textured art work similar to oil pastels. Great for arts and craft.

Brilliant for little hands

What a fantastic product! They are slightly smaller than I expected, measuring just over 1inch long, but are perfect for little hands. You can't help but hold them with the tripod grip which is great for my just 3yr old who doesn't always manage that with normal pencils and crayons. What's more, the colours are fab. Strong colours from just a soft stroke unlike some cheaper crayons. The little bag is not only useful to keep them all together but very cute too. Buy for yourself or for a friend (would make a great gift/stocking filler). We love them!

Crayon Rocks

Crayon rocks were originally created by Barbara Lee, a special education teacher who noticed that many of her students could not write adequately to pass their exams. This led her to realise how important it is for children to develop a strong tripod grip in their early years, as their future handwriting depends on it! These cleverly shaped Crayon Rocks help strengthen little muscles, preparing children for using a pen and pencil. Crayon rocks are simply great fun too and children love using them. Get creative and draw something colourful with Crayon Rocks!
