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 crayons 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.

Size and Safety

• Each crayon measures around 1 ¼ x 3/4 x 3/4 inch with a volume equal to that of major brand stick crayons.
• Crayon Rocks are non-toxic and conform to ASTM D-4236, ASTM F-963, EN71-3, and CPSIA.
• WARNING – Choking Hazard. Not for children under 3 years. Use with appropriate supervision.

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.
