Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />We're trying out Faber Castell's Grip 2001:<br />http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-grip-2001-set-red/19213934?ean=978064\<br />1944802&x=10232812<br /><br />The little "gripping" bumps help with grip plus provide some interesting sensory<br />stimulation, and the lead is pretty smooth. The eraser is GREAT. (My son hates<br />erasing--I'm sure it isn't just because he finds the physical act challenging,<br />but that is a part of it.)

He enjoys drawing more with them. Probably because there are more colors to choose from. This is the brand http://www.stabilo.com/pages-us/paint-draw/kids.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
