STOCKMAR Wax Stick Crayons - 8 Sticks in Tin, Supplementary Set 1

STOCKMAR crayons are recommended for all ages from 3 years.

During the early years of childhood, and into the primary years, children are developing their physical bodies, and at the same time, fine-tuning their senses as the border through which they meet the world around them.

One of the keystones of STOCKMAR is to support and promote healthy sensory perception. This is a consideration in every STOCKMAR decision, surrounding design, choice of ingredients and the resulting quality of every STOCKMAR product.

STOCKMAR Crayons, promote the sense of sight through the harmonious coordinated colour range (based on Goethe’s colour wheel) - each colour seamlessly and harmoniously flows to the next.

The sense of smell is nurtured through the pleasant scent of beeswax, unmasked by fillers nor overpowered by other strong waxes.

The transparency of the colours appeals to the breathing in and out of emotions, each gently mixing and giving way to the other, without strong statements.

The sense of touch is gently stimulated by the pleasant texture and the ergonomic shape - first the block crayon with its definite form and sharp edges, and then the more subtle roundness of the stick crayon. Each stick crayong is covered in their own paper covering, giving sensitive children a familiar and comfortable experience, with no transference of waxey properties to the fingers.

And we must remember the creative act of drawing itself, supporting the development of fine-motor skills, balance and movement, and helping to train the subtle sense of differentiation through shading and colour gradients.

All these senses go on to be the foundation through which the child meets the world. It makes sense to nurture them from the beginning, and for over 100 years, STOCKMAR has thought so too! Read more ...
