— February 19, 2016 — Art & Design

Shaped to resemble rocks, these eco crayons come in a variety of bright shades -- 8 in total -- and are packaged in a sustainable container that's made from recycled plastic. Handmade in the US, these art tools are an ethical and safe purchase for parents with an appreciation for health-conscious products.
