These high-quality crayon rocks are the most effective crayons for kids to strengthen the tripod grip, cleverly designed to prepare the fingers and hand for drawing, writing and coloring.

The shape allows small fingers to apply color in large, wide strokes when the long end is turned horizontal.

Material: All natural, soy wax made from USA grown soybeans and colored with non-toxic pigment powders

Barbara Lee, a special education teacher invented Crayon Rocks after being inspired by occupational therapist Jan Olsen and her ‘Handwriting without tears’ program. Designed for children to develop a strong tripod grip early in their education process — handwriting skills depend upon this. For a child’s first writing tool it is made to encourages him or her to use thumb, first and second fingers in a tripod grip. This is what makes Crayon Rocks a wonderful tool for fine motor development. Because of their shape, they do not allow kids to easily grip them in a closed fist or with any other inappropriate style of grip that deters fine motor development.

Manufacture in the quiet rural peace of Kentucky Amish farm country. They use a natural ground rock to give the crayons their body. This creates a crayon that goes on smooth and blends easily and is, in many ways, much like an oil pastel.
