Easy-Grip Crayons
Grip crayons combine ergonomic design with vibrant color, giving young learners the tools they need to develop fine motor skills and explore creative expression. At Kurtz Bros., we've helped teachers and administrators bring quality art materials into classrooms since 1894.
Our grip crayon selection reflects that same commitment to durability, safety and developmental support, with options curated specifically for early childhood education and elementary programs.

Why Grip Crayons Support Early Development
Grip crayons feature contoured shapes that encourage proper finger placement, making them ideal for children who are just learning to hold writing instruments. The textured grip areas help small hands maintain control, reducing hand fatigue during longer coloring sessions and building the muscle memory needed for handwriting success.
Our inventory includes various crayon shapes for the youngest learners and triangular designs that prepare students for pencil grip, giving educators age-appropriate tools for every developmental stage.
For Toddlers and Preschoolers
Jumbo crayons fit comfortably in a toddler's palm, promoting the palmar grasp that typically develops before the more refined tripod grip. The oversized diameters give small hands more space to grip and stand up to enthusiastic use, thanks to a durable formula.
For Early Elementary Students
Triangular grip crayons are designed to guide young students into a natural tripod hold, positioning fingers in the same configuration they'll use for pencils and pens. This smooth transition from crayon to writing tool helps support classroom instruction and homework independence, whether students are using grip crayons or standard classroom crayons.
Features That Matter in the Classroom
Our grip crayon selection prioritizes the features educators need most in high-use environments:
Vivid pigments: Rich, bold colors show up clearly on construction paper, newsprint and drawing pads, encouraging students to experiment with shading and blending techniques.
Nontoxic formulas: All crayons are nontoxic and safe for classroom use, giving teachers and parents peace of mind during art activities and free play.
Break-resistant constructions: Reinforced wax formulas help withstand drops, pressure and the rigors of shared classroom use, extending the life of your art supply budget.
Easy cleanups: Washable varieties are designed to lift from skin, fabric and most hard surfaces with soap and water, reducing mess and preparation time between activities.
