Wackadoodle Let’s Draw Natural Non-Toxic Mixed Shapes Crayons

Description

Wackadoodle’s range of fun, funky crayons are the shizznezz… if you love all the options somuch that you just can’t decide what to get first, then this mixed set is for you! It has a random selection of crayons from different sets, so you get to see what different shapes are like. It also lends a whole new realm of possibilities to the educational play, by having a big variety of unrelated shapes!

Your imagination is the limit to how much educational use you could conjure up from the Wackadoodle range of natural, non-toxic and creative crayons! These crayons easily double up as toys, role-play characters, learning aids, and incentives to exercise small motor muscles groups, and of course, to stimulate creative applications by drawing and colouring – the perfect aid for strong healthy hands and strong inquisitive minds. These crayons are true gems!

Crayons are a wonderful, non-messy, portable and easy-going colouring tool to use for a variety of colouring techniques. But why bother, in the age of digital tech explosion? Because:

• Drawing and colouring stimulates right-brain hemisphere creative thinking skills.
• It teaches kids about colour palettes and colour perception in a real and concrete way, that will help them perceive the unknown objects in the real world.
• It teaches kids about real-world cause and effect – if I draw this line, this colour will appear, if I pull the crayon too far, the picture will be ruined, there is no undo button!
• Colouring inside the lines of a picture teaches hand-eye coordination, boundaries, and self-control.
• Drawing and colouring exercises a variety of small hand and arm muscles, which are very important to develop at a young age.
• Exploring through drawings helps to build non-verbal communication and perception skills.
• Drawing is a precursor to learning to write.

Why choose Wackadoodle’s wacky crayons over conventional crayons? Because:

• It is made of entirely natural ingredients and is non-toxic, thus safe for curious kids to put in their mouth (although it won’t taste good!)
• It is shaped into interesting and creative shapes, which encourages learning through play.
• It can easily be used for role-based play, with or without the drawing activities.
• It can easily be used as learning aid to count similar shapes or similar colours.
• It can easily be used to learn pattern recognition by grouping objects per colour, per shape or other attributes.
• It can easily be used to learn vocabulary, natural science, etc. (e.g. this crayon is a fish, and that crayon is a penguin, and the other crayon is a hat!)
• The funky shapes of the crayons help to teach the right posture of gripping crayons (e.g. encourages kids to grip crayons between their fingers, not in their fist) – a good skill to have before learning to write.
• It helps to motivate reluctant kids to draw and have fun while doing so!

We simply cannot recommend these crayons more highly to any parent of young kids! Just do yourself a favour and get it – it is that legit!

Usage notes:

These crayons are 100% natural and 100% non-toxic. While it is safe for kids to put in their mouth, they probably won’t like the taste. The crayons won’t melt from normally holding it in your hand, but likely will melt if left in direct sunlight at 40 degrees outside temperature (as would conventional crayons). If it gets a white waxy residue, just wipe it off, and the crayons will be back to normal (the residue won’t affect colour while drawing). Always supervise young kids that play with small items, as it may pose a choking hazard. Store it in a cool, dry place.
