Faber-Castell Easy Grip Crayons

Kitty’s at that stage where she really wants to draw and colour, but traditional crayons are too thin and fragile for her to grip effectively without breaking them. Step up Faber-Castell’s Easy Grip Crayons which are pear-shaped, so can be used either clasped in a toddler’s fist or held like a pen. They come in a set of four colours (red, green, yellow and blue) and, although the packaging states 3+, Kitty (2 next week) has been happily scribbling away with them to create artworks, including an impromptu wall mural – thank goodness for washable Kitchens & Bathrooms paint… £5.95 for a set of four, Stone Marketing.
