These are for OLDER kids-- not babies. For 3-6 year olds learning how to hold crayons and pencils. The Occupational Therapist for my 3 year old son recommended these so he could learn to hold writing utensils. Great for developing fine-motor skills.

I am a trained and experienced early childhood teacher. These are wonderful crayons and I highly recommend them! The soy wax allows these crayons to glide smoothly and blend beautifully. They are 100% natural and non-toxic. The vibrant colors come from mineral pigments. They were developed by a special ed teacher to help develop a child's tripod grasp, necessary for learning to write.
Unfortunately, because of their unique shape, many parents think that these crayons will be appropriate for babies and toddlers. They are not. These crayons are designed for children over the age of three. Because of their size, they could present a choking hazard for younger children.
So if you have a child over three, you will not be disappointed. Drawing and writing are really more appropriate activities for children over three, so if you have a baby or toddler, my advice is to wait to purchase these until your child is older.

I read all the reviews here and had already left a review of the 8 piece bag but felt compelled to leave a review here too.
I have to say that the MANUFACTURER states clearly in their product description that these crayons ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THREE as they are a choking hazard. All the folks who complained about the size or looking too much like a treat to eat who gave them to babies and toddlers should not blame the product or manufacturer!
When our daughters were 3 years old we started with the 8 color bag of these soy based crayon rocks at the suggestion of a place in town that gives art classes for kids and have been so happy with them. The reason these are so good for our household is that these crayons force the child to hold them with their finger tips, they cannot hold them with a fist, and this is exactly what we have been hoping for to help train our left handed daughter to hold writing utensils (and eating utensils) correctly. When given a regular crayon/colored pencil/marker she holds it with her fist and cannot color well within the lines or draw very fine, but with these crayons she has to use her finger tips and she can be more precise with her coloring and drawing. She notices the difference and wants to learn the correct way to hold things because she is so frustrated that she cannot draw/write/color as well as her right handed twin. They are now 4 years old and at the request of our lefty we have graduated her to the 16 color bag and she is happy to have the new colors (especially the pinks and purples) while still having something that forces her to hold the crayon correctly.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED product.

A choking hazard
I assumed these rocks would be at least an inch in all dimensions so they wouldn't pose a choking hazard to small children... I was wrong. Read more

Way too small for $7.85 per bag, even with free shipping!
The extra star is for the great idea - but this is a small, faux-velvet bag with small crayon ... well, rocks, I suppose. Read more

Much smaller than I imagined.
I think these are more like crayon pebbles, than rocks. Maybe they will be fine for little hands, I dont know yet. Read more
