Unique colouring tools created for young hands, enabling small fingers to colour in large, wide strokes.

Designed to strengthen the tripod grip muscles, preparing fingers for pen and pencil use. Good for motor development.

Made from pure natural soy bean and bees wax.

In the words of Barbara Lee DaBoll, educator of children with special needs for 22 years and inventor of Crayon Rocks:
"I learned how important it was to develop early a good tripod grip. Handwriting skills depends upon this.Since a child's first writing tool is usually a crayon, that crayon should be one that 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.A really good crayon should take very little effort in applying great swaths of color to the paper. In fact, that crayon should be as much like paint as possible. Great colors that go on smoothly and easily, helping little fingers to grow strong as they spill their creative ideas on to paper.

I wanted a coloring tool that students with grip strength problems and disorders effecting fine motor control could use AND enjoy. It has been lots of fun to see what my students do with their Crayon Rocks.

Parents and teachers of special needs students often tell me how much their children love them.
