I wanted to share the Stubby Pencil Studio, a great on-line resource for eco friendly drawing and art supplies. They carry Crayon Rocks
which we use in the office and have often recommended to parents for home use. The unique shape of the crayons promotes a mature pencil grasp. They have a variety of triangular shaped pencils which also help promote a mature pencil grip, including Jumbo Triangular Color EcoPencils, which at just 5″ long, fit well into small hands. I also like their Color ‘n Kids cards that offer a simple design with a word to trace. A great way to encourage your child to make their own thank-you or other greeting cards.
