Experience with Faber Castel crayon drops

Total grip
These drop-shaped crayons are quite large. For a toddler's hand, they mainly provoke a total grip. If this is your goal, it works very well. Children color nicely with their wrist turned in the right position with these crayons. However, if you want to provoke a finer, more mature bar, this works a bit against you.
Ideal for children with disabilities
For children with a fine motor skills limitation they will work well and provide a beautiful drawing result.
Properties
The crayons release color easily.
They are 4 bright primary colours. They do not rub off on the hand.
The wax is hard so the crayons will last a long time.
Conclusion
And actually the overall conclusion is: they all have their pros and cons! So variation is the trick for the largest target group!
