Alex Finger Crayons
From the Manufacturer
Bright, easy to hold crayons are perfectly sized for young artists to grasp in their palms or place on their fingers. Stackable and durable. Non-toxic. Safe for toddlers. They are a great way to introduce art to the vey young child. Helps with small motor and coordination skills, too. Ages 2 and above.
Creativity is at the tips of your fingers with these durable, stackable crayons.
I use these crayons as whole hand crayons with kids who have trouble with grasp. They have good color, are easy to mark with. I wish they weren’t hollow because they break very easily.
I bought these crayons for my son to refine his tripod grasp and to provide a fun new crayon. To my horror, these things have a faint chemical smell. That can’t be good. They also are easily broken if you have a rough toddler(26mths) boy such as mine. That said, he loves them. He likes stacking them, counting them, coloring with them, and even pretending he is making ice cream cones with them. I would not buy these again, despite him liking them. I can’t get over the chemical smell and the lack of durability considering the age group they are marketed to.
We gave these to our 22 month old son for Christmas and he did’nt want to stop playing with these crayons. He likes stacking them up ’till they fall down – and they don’t break. We enjoy counting the crayons together and naming each of the colors. They’re very easy and fun to hold either with your finger inside the crayon or in the palm of your hand. For the lighter colored crayons you have to press down somewhat hard to actually see the color on the paper. I like that they don’t roll off the table!
