Crayon Rocks 32 Natural Crayons in Cotton Muslin Bag

This large bag contains 32 Crayon Rocks in a range of vibrant and pastel shades 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 developmentally appropriate for the early years. 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.

This large bag of long-lasting Crayon Rocks is perfect for childcare settings, nurseries, and homeschooling, providing a huge range of natural colours for children to express their creativity. Made in rural Kentucky in the USA and certified non-toxic and are vegan friendly.
