Crayola just came out with a collection of crayons, paint, and markers for young kids 18 months and older. It kind of took them a while to realize that even though crayons are typically enjoyed mainly by children not all of them have the same size hands to be able to hold a typical crayon. It’s actually kind of cute (to me) to see young kids trying to get their artistic energy out while struggling to color with a “big” crayon.
The Crayola Beginnings collection is designed to fit perfectly into your little ones tiny hands & great for developing muscles.
These Tadoodles are my FAVORITE of the collection. These “First Marks” (markers) come in cute, fat & little animal characters which are bottom heavy so they won’t tip over and mark up your carpet, table, or counter tops. They have no caps, but won’t dry out and are activated by dabbing them on a piece of paper a few times.
Price: $13.95 for set of 6
Here is Tadoodle ”All In One Paint”. Same concept here. They won’t spill and they “help in developing gross to fine motor skills.”
Price: $14.95 for 6
These Triangular Crayons help young kids control their drawing by enabling them to get a better grip on their crayon. You know, so their scribbles can be more….scribblier (Yes, I just made up that word).
Parents, you will love these because if your kids go crazy drawing on your walls all you need to do is get a sponge with warm water and…VUWALA!
Price: $3.95
Speaking of scribbles, Crayola also released a new book called Celebrate the Scribble, Appreciating Childen’s Art. Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Dr. Roberta Golinkoff explain how children’s scribbles have more meaning than we think. This book contains scribbles from toddlers across the US and Canada.
