Crayon Rocks

We're so accustomed to giving our little ones crayons as their first writing utensil. But what if I told you that the average crayon wasn't as good as you thought it was? I mean, sure, it colors. But that's about it.


Introducing Crayon Rocks, an all natural soy wax crayon that helps little ones develop proper handwriting skills. The unique rock shape makes it easy for little fingers to hold using the tripod grip; thumb, index & middle fingers. In turn making it much easier to teach them how to write.

And then there's the vibrant colors! I received the Red Holiday Bag to review (retail cost is a well worth it $9.00), which comes with the basic 16 primary & pastel colors, as well as white, silver, winter red & winter green. You can even layer the colors while you're coloring to make amazingly beautiful pictures. It also came with a snowflake "rubby plate" which I may or may not of had fun with...OK, I totally did! I loved coloring with my youngest & she seemed to enjoy herself much more than usual. My guess being that Crayon Rocks are just her size.

Knowing how beneficial Crayon Rocks are to help develop fine motor skills, I plan on making these a staple in our house. Not to mention what perfect gifts they will make for my 4 year old's preschool class!

Crayon Rocks are non-toxic.  They are, however, small enough (1.5 inch x .75 inch x .75 inch) to be a potential choking hazard to very young children.
