CREA-YONS
Motor-skill Assistance Tool designed for Children
Learning that children at the age of between 2 to 5 starting to get used with their mototrskills, the intention of this crayon is to improve and/or fasten their process of their motorskills, but in some instances that some children has difficulty in that area, that this crayons will also assist in such issues.
The crayon design is inspired by natural surfaces, such as tree barks, flower petals, plant stems and etc. Hence, the surfaces and its shape gives an idea as how can the child be holding the crayons, thus, the crayon can be hold in different ways, and added to it feature are the crayon's different ways of rendering techniques and lines.
The process of making such crayons was joyful one though it was time-consuming, the best part is when you mix and match the colours for the crayons. It started from creating the ‘positive’ mould by using CNC maching made out of wood, then covering the mould with latex to create the ‘negative’ mould, after which slice it open and then you can make crayon colours as you like.
