These delightful
Crayon Rocks
will have your children clamouring to
colour, draw and write, even if they’ve been reluctant to use
conventionally-shaped writing tools. They’re just so irresistably
pretty
in their shades of 16 different colours and shaped like neat little
rocks. The form helps your child attain the tripod grip which
is the most desirable pencil grip. Fatigue is lessened by putting just
the fingers to work instead of the entire forearm.
Created by a special needs teacher who recognised how essential to
handwriting it is to establish a tripod grip early in life, the
crayons are crafted from soy wax. They inspire children to be
adventurous with their art – an unconventional tool can bring out
untold talents at the same time as strengthening hand and finger
muscles and improving fine motor skills.
Crayon Rocks enable children of diverse abilities to escape the
confines of the usual and to step into art, drawing and writing that’s
extraordinary!
Crayon Rocks can be purchased in sets of 16 (1 of each colour) for US$4.99 and 64 rocks (4 of each colour) for $17.99. Alternatively, get some people together and go for the classroom set of 24 boxes for $119.76. Nico & Zoe will ship these Internationally.

I just purchase some of these crayon rocks from an online shop in the U.S.A called http://www.stubbypencilstudio.com and they post to Australia – postage was only $8.99 U.S which was just over $9 Australia as the dollar is so good at the moment – and that was for 2 packets of the 16 pieces which were $6.95 US each – this site also has other environmentally friendly stationery.
Just found these in a Melbourne store – The Museum of Art Souvenirs. Can buy the crayons in store or online.
