Eight crayons, and not one of them is crayon-shaped. Goober's Farm set arrives as a strawberry, a carrot, a banana, a pea, a cucumber, an aubergine, a chestnut and a mushroom — chunky, rounded little forms that a toddler grips in a whole fist rather than pinching between fingers. Children who haven't yet worked out what to do with a thin crayon usually know exactly what to do with these.The stubby shape is the point: it suits broad shading and big confident sweeps, it doesn't stain, and it's genuinely difficult to snap, which spares everyone the graveyard of broken crayon stubs at the bottom of the pencil case. Made from natural wax with non-toxic pigments and packaged with a little farm colouring book to get things started. Made in Korea.
