Shaped crayons?

Question

I am looking for crayons that are shaped like a light-bulb. They are used for increasing motor skills in toddlers.

Answer 1

Don't waste your money.  The crayons are nice but nothing special when it comes to motor skills in toddlers.  You're better off just breaking the regular crayons.  Smaller crayons almost force a "tripod grasp" which I imagine is what you're looking for in terms of increasing motor skills.

Answer 2

You could go to your local teacher store of you could get special shaped tins and melt down crayons and make them yourself! Just a thought.

Answer 3

Go to your local school supply shop for teachers. They usually sell all sorts of great stuff to help kids with proper hold for writing utensils etc.

Answer 4

Check your local teacher supply store, or if you can't find them, but can find a mold, you can make your own by melting crayon pieces into the form you want them to be in using your oven on a low temp or a hot plate.
