Crayon Rocks - 32 Pieces
Many preschool art supplies focus on color. Crayon Rocks focuses on both creativity and the development of the hand muscles needed for future handwriting success.
Shaped like smooth pebbles, these uniquely designed crayons naturally encourage a tripod grip—the same finger position children will eventually use for writing. Their size and shape fit comfortably in small hands, helping children strengthen finger muscles, improve control, and develop fine motor skills through everyday coloring and drawing.
Recommended by teachers and occupational therapists, Crayon Rocks allow children to make bold, colorful marks without having to press hard. The rich colors glide smoothly across paper, encouraging longer coloring sessions while reducing frustration for young artists.
Made from natural waxes and colored with non-toxic mineral powders, the crayons are durable, easy to hold, and designed to withstand enthusiastic use. Their short, sturdy shape also helps prevent the peeling and breakage common with traditional crayons.
The included drawstring pouch keeps the crayons organized and makes cleanup simple, whether they're used at the kitchen table, in a homeschool room, or on the go.
Suitable for coloring books, drawing paper, and a variety of art projects, Crayon Rocks combines creative play with meaningful fine motor development, helping prepare little hands for future writing tasks while keeping art time enjoyable.
How to Use Crayon Rocks – 32 Colors
- Keep Crayon Rocks within easy reach and encourage your child to use them often. Frequent coloring, drawing, tracing, and creative play provide natural opportunities to strengthen hand muscles and develop the fine motor control needed for future handwriting.
- Use them during art time, quiet time, workbook activities, or free play. The unique shape naturally encourages a tripod grip, allowing your child to practice proper finger positioning without formal instruction.
- Offer a variety of coloring opportunities throughout the week. Coloring books, blank paper, simple drawing prompts, and early writing activities all help build hand strength, coordination, and confidence.
- Allow plenty of time for open-ended creativity. While Crayon Rocks are excellent for developing pre-writing skills, they are, first and foremost, art tools. The more enjoyable the experience, the more likely your child is to return to it regularly.
- Store the crayons in the included drawstring pouch between uses to keep colors organized and ready for the next masterpiece.

Perfect for Tiny Fingers
Vanessa H.
Tiny fingers need tiny crayons to teach how to properly hold writing utensils. These crayons give no option except to hold the crayon in a pincer grasp which encourages the development of strong fingers for writing. These were so helpful for my girls.

love these so much!
Bina
These are so great for our little 2 year old to grip and use. Even though a lot of his art is scribbles, it's easier to do with these than regular crayons.

The colours are bright, vibrant and made from natural waxes and non-toxic mineral powders, shaped to fit in the hands of little ones. Pack for the trip because these come in a cute drawstring bag and are super easy to clean up!

Move Over Crayola!
Dorothy W.
I know, my title...It's treason then. I never thought the magnificent Crayola could ever hope to have competition. And it still has it's niche...for older kids. Parents of the majority of toddlers and preschoolers know that Crayolas are going to be snapped, smashed, destroyed and eaten. Plus they are way too small for chubby toddler hands. Enter crayon rocks. These gorgeous beauties are the best invention since the coloring book. The rocks are BEAUTIFUL, the colors are rich and they are just perfect for young childrens hands: fat and chunky. They promote grip strength and hand coordination without the soreness and are sturdy enough to take a pounding. I can't say enough good things about crayon rocks, I am a fan for life and my son loves them too. He's used them nonstop since finding them in his stocking Christmas morning.

Wow-these were a favorite from our kit! So many shades of the main colors, and these feel nice in my child's hand. They also don't have that strong crayon smell. Recommend and will buy these again! Perfect gift idea, too.
