Hi,

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but figured it might. My ds9 always hated coloring, and he has told me now that it is because of the way the crayons feel, or the way that they feel on the paper (he is my Aspie son, and has sensory issues.)

I tried other kinds of crayons (Stone, Lyra, Stockmar - my dd5 LOVES these!) but still he really avoided coloring anything. (He will reluctantly use colored pencils...)

Then I tried Crayon Rocks. I am not sure if it is due to the ingredients, the shape, or what. But I got a set for both of my littles, and dd5 still prefers Stockmar. But ds9 will use the rocks!

The lady was really nice, and when I contacted her she gave me the "school" discount price. We got the sampler treasure bags, to try them out.

Anyway, just wanted to share

I picked up crayon rocks last year while I was teaching preschool The kids there loved them. When I stopped working, I brought them home, and now my older two (11 and 7 ) love them as well!

Thanks for the link. They look wonderful for my boys who love to color but lack the motivation for thin crayons. Wouldn't they be cute hidden in an "Easter Egg" hunt next year?
