Crayon Rocks - so pretty, so ergonomic

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.
