My three-year old son really loves using these - he consistently chooses them over markers or crayons for his drawing lately. The size and shape make them easy for him to hold, and have the benefit of developing a "correct" hold for penmanship later on. There is a nice range of colors, some quite bold (he is particularly fond of the yellow for this reason) and others more pastel (like the lavendar) that don't show well on white paper, but are nice on dark construction paper. The crayons mark easily - he does not need to apply excessive pressure to get coverage that he is satisfied with. He also really likes opening and closing the drawstring bag they are stored in.

My 2.5 year old son got these in his stocking this year along with a curious george coloring book. He really loves them. The little "sack" to carry them in is genius! He loves dumping them out, counting them and replacing them in their "hidey bag". They are easy enough to color with though the lines aren't very precise he doesn't mind though. They have quickly become a favorite and I'm planning to buy the stars next probably for easter.

As other reviewers have mentioned, these are small crayons. The sturdy little storage bag measures about 5 inches long, and the crayons are each about an inch long.
They are not toddler crayons, nor are they cutesy novelty crayons.
Any preschooler will know exactly what to do with these - the smooth, appealing little "rocks" are a perfect fit for a small hand, and make bold, beautiful strokes on paper. From my experience, traditional crayons will sit untouched as the crayon rocks are selected over and over again.
The crayon rocks are durable and don't break or crumble under normal conditions, There are no wrappers or flimsy boxes to mess with, and they last a surprisingly long time. Neat product, and I imagine many children will grow up with fond memories of crayon rocks!

Writes very well
Very bright and rich color on paper. We bought these to help w 3 year olds grip. She loves using them and I do see fine motor improvement. I'm ordering a second pack now.

Crayon Rocks
The crayon rocks were a disappointment. The idea is a good one, but the crayon rocks were much too small.

fun for little kids
My granddaughter enjoys coloring with these. They're easy to hold, difficult to break, and travel well, thanks to the included bag.

rock crayons
cute idea...cute package...good for stockings...however, my kids have no interest in using these. Maybe they are too small...or they just don't know what the heck they are. Read more

Great for Little Hands
The girls love these because they are different. I like that they are made of soy wax. And they come with a nice bag for carrying them around town. The colors are nice and bright.

Poor quality
Several of the crayon rocks came shattered - not useable. I emailed the company and never heard back. My daughter is very unhappy.

Durable and fun for more than just coloring!
It's a crayon - or is it? I don't know which my 2-year-old loves more, opening the bag and pouring the "rocks" out, then lining them up and then counting them back into the bag, or... Read more

Good alternative to crayons
I got these for my 3 and 2 year old boys. When they use regular crayons then tend to break them. I had heard that the crayon rocks helped to form a proper grip so I decided to try... Read more

Bought for 7 y/o with non-functioning pencil grip
What you gain in tripod grip function, you lose due to waxy feel. It is very hard to maintain a grip on these because your fingers slide around. Read more
