Crayon Rocks
We have carried these since we opened the shop in 2008 and they continue to be a hit! Kids seem to gravitate to them. The shape and colors are inviting but there's much more. They are great tools to develop a grip necessary for good handwriting with pencils and pens. They are made with soy wax- as opposed to petroleum wax used for common crayons- and use natural pigments for their coloring. They are buttery in use and are also long lasting. (See our sample pack at the shop. It's the original one from more than two years ago and they look like they've hardly been used!) They don't break like common crayons and don't have paper that gets in the way. And they also have multiple surfaces for sharp lines and shading.

We're carrying the 6 pack of colors- in seed-type paper packets- encased in a corrugated container and the DIY Paint Kit that includes the 6 packs, 6 compostable jars with lids and 2 bamboo brushes all contained in a beautiful rice paper pouch.
