We don’t have kids but most of our friends do, so I always have a stash of art supplies handy for when they come over with their little ones. I set the kids up with big pieces of paper and crayons, which is all good until it’s time to put everything away — somehow, a bunch of crayons always manage to escape.  Months later, either I or my robot find crayons hiding under the couch.

Crayola Triangular Crayons are a good idea all around. First of all, the crayons don’t roll away since they’re not round. You put them down and they stay there.  More importantly, the triangular shape of the crayons may help youngsters – around 2 years old — develop the proper tripod grip that we use for writing.

So the children will develop proper handwriting habits and you won’t have to pick up crayons all over the place.  That sounds like a win-win to me!
