Crayon rocks, occupational therapist Angela's favorite crayons

Occupational therapist and mother

From 3 years old until well into puberty

Luckily I can also write a blog about my favorite crayons from 3 years old until well into puberty! The crayon rocks are made of Soy, have beautiful colors that easily come on paper. They last a long time.

Fantasy

The shape stimulates the imagination, children use it to build, manipulate, etc.

Form

But the most important feature, as I experience it as a pediatric occupational therapist, is the shape. The pebble shape quickly elicits a three-point grip.

Dynamic pen grip

Due to the small size and shape, children can hardly do otherwise. At first, this is often done with the wrist loose from paper, but that quickly changes and it is a very good exercise, on the way to a good dynamic pencil grip from the fingers.
We have already helped many children with this.

Variety: on textiles

A nice extra is that you can use them on textiles. Just iron them and the color stays on well.
