crayon stones

I am a junkie for crayon re-inventions.
From Rompstore.com:

we love these cool kid-friendly crayons! gorgeous colors, cool shapes and best of all, they encourage proper tripod grip in children! also ideal for kids with special needs. especially shaped for small hands to create wide, happy strokes. set include 16 shades packed in a muslin pouch.

made of soy wax - a renewable resource grown in the US and colored with mineral powder (completely non-toxic, conforms to ASTM D 4236). 3 and up - with adult supervision for kids who like to mouth toys! each stone is approx 1 1/4" long.
