Crayon Rocks were developed after founder Barbara Lee who was a special needs teacher was inspired by occupational therapist and author of Handwriting Without Tears, Jan Olsen. Barbara knew that since most children’s first experience with writing was normally with crayons, holding crayons correctly early on would help with their handwriting later. The design of Crayon Rocks encourages children to hold the crayon with their thumb and first and second fingers, forming a tripod grip. This tripod grip encourages motor development, where traditional crayons discourage it because they are held with a closed fist, plus Crayon Rocks are less prone to breaking. Add these benefits to the fact that Crayon Rocks are made from US grown and processed Kosher Soy Wax, not Paraffin Wax, these crayons are safer for your child and blend seamlessly.
Crayon Rocks are available in a variety of colors that can be purchased in packages of all one color or a mixed assortment. Crayon Rocks also has holiday gift bags like the Valentine Gift Bag I received for review. This gift bag comes with 19 colors: the 16 summer color collection and an extra red, pink and white in a red organza bag with the Hearts tag and arrives packed in a craft box in red heart tissue paper. I love the idea of giving a Crayon Rocks Valentine Gift Bag over candy because it will last longer than candy and I will not pay for it later at the dentist. Use coupon code Valentine2015 and get 20% off the purchase of a Valentine Gift Box.
Head over to CrayonRocks.com today and pickup a Valentine Gift Bag for that special child in your life and also be sure to enter to win one in my giveaway here and be sure to show Crayon Rocks some love on facebook and twitter.
