- Read their story: Crayon Rocks were invented by me, a special education teacher who saw a need to help young children, especially those with developmental disabilities, grow and train their tripod grip muscles so that writing would be easy and art fun. The perfect rock fell into my hands while repotting a plant. It can only be gripped and used with those all important three fingers: thumb, first and second. "How cool is that!" were the cries of my students. And then we all agreed that the colors had to be rich, vibrant and easy to apply. Thus was born the USA made Kentucky soy wax crayons that are ALMOST an oil pastel. Beautiful color that goes on paper with easy broad strokes. Perfect for the threenagers and older youngsters in your life.
- Contains: The 24 color bag has the basic 16 primary and pastel and 8 more colors they call the "naturals" for use with trees and flowers, water and wave!
