[...] Both of the kids (even 11 month old Nia) love drawing and I’m on a constant hunt for sturdy art materials. The most sturdy crayons we own are little pyramid crayons from Habitat that the bambino, Saria, hustled me for on a shopping trip last summer. A fiver, but they are the most resilient and seem indestructible. That’s why I like the sound of these chubby pencils – Big Pencils for Small Hands. They have a rounded triangular profile making them easier for gripping and come in a pack of 12 with an extra big sharpener. £3.95 Ikon Gallery. For sublime colour (although protect your surfaces!), look no further than Djeco’s gel pastels. [...]

I love these crayons but…controlled setting! In fact, I love them so much, I use them when I have time for a doodle.
@Joanne Totally agree although it with Super Kat that wrote the post

I bought some of these as a Christmas present for my nephew and he loved them. Unlike crayons you don’t have to press hard so they’re easier for a younger toddler to use. And as you say Natalie, the colour intensity is fab so they make a lovely alternative to felt tips for little ones.
