Not so long ago, my mom purchased The Boy some Crayon Rocks. I admit to planting the seed after seeing them on another blog, and they are wonderful. For young hands, they are easier to hold, encourage the tripod hold for older children, and color beautifully.
Crayon rocks are made of soy wax and minerals. The information that came with our box says they are edible, which was nice to read considering our toddler, at the time, enjoyed eating his crayons as much as coloring with them. He has not, however, taken a bite of his crayon rocks.
Aside from coloring, we also use our crayon rocks to practice recognizing colors and counting.
