Recommendations
What Parents Say... "An awesome product for kids working on their fine motor skills. Our son (age 4) had never drawn anything identifiable but started drawing full scenes (spaceships) within minutes of getting Crayon Rocks. " - Mathew and Erin B.
What Occupational Therapists Say... "We had a preschool class of 4 kids with really terrible grips in June when you sent them to us. We had coloring labs set out on the table, and we replaced the broken crayons with the crayon rocks. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the kids immediately grasped it with a tripod grasp!" - Jan McCleskey, MA, OTR, The Handwriting Clinic
What Teachers Say... "FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!! Use it with my 3s/4s class and can't say enough good things. Are they -- or will they -- be available in other colors? Thanks!!" - KG, Houston
What Kids Say... "First thing I think is that its wonderful because it has the right grip and its easier to color that way. They're not dry like other crayons. I love them because they are creamy and they blend together. " - Armenuhi, 10 years
Kids Art Gallery
Crayon Rocks will produce rich, oil pastel-like pieces of art work that kids can be proud of.
Encourage children to use the flat sides of the crayon instead of the tip to get broad swaths of color on the paper. Tell them to cover up ALL the white paper. ALL of IT! That's not hard with Crayon Rocks.
Ask the kids to put some muscle behind the crayon. Really press down on it. AND, don't be afraid to layer colors. If you don't like what you've done, chances are you can scrape it off or erase it off. Last, give it a quick buff with a tissue or the palm of your hand. The surface will shine up like it's been waxed!
Material
100% American natural soy wax, colored with natural mineral powder
Our soy beans are grown and the wax proccessed in USA. It is edible and kosher.
All soy was "blooms" and takes on a dusty or moldy appearance over time. This happens to chocoloate also. This is a natural effect of soy, not due to spoiling, and will not affect the performance of the crayons.
Colors can be blended when drawn.
Colors can be wiped off with water/soap water on non-porous surfaces; on paper, colors can mostly be erased.
As with other crayons, do not leave the crayons under direct sunlight.
Suitable for 3+ yrs; Adult supervision recommended for children whomight put them in their mouths.
