Benefits of the Crayon Rock Shape … Besides looking really awesome!

Designed by a special education teacher, Crayon Rocks are a wonderful tool for learning tripod pencil grip. A child’s first writing tool is usually a crayon, and these Crayon Rocks encourage children to use their thumb, first, and second fingers in a tripod grip, helping little ones get comfortable with the standard pencil grip early on.

Included in this collection is a group we call People Pebbles that were designed specifically to mimic eye, hair and skin tones of real people.

About the Company: Crayon Rocks

Barbara Lee was a special education teacher for 23 years, during which time she learned how important it was for children to develop a strong tripod grip early in their education process for handwriting success later on. A simple tool for developing these skills in young children wasn’t readily available, so she set out to create one. The first Crayon Rocks were made in a garage in La Crescenta, California. They mixed colors in small batches and hand-formed them into molds. In 2010, the company moved out of the hustle and bustle of California to peaceful rural Kentucky. Today you can find the team in a beautiful shop at the bottom of a hill in peaceful Hestand. These days their machine, affectionally dubbed Daisy, takes care of a good portion of the hard stuff.
