Egg Chalks (6Pk)

We know the challenges of getting children to adopt a functional grasp, and these Egg Chalks are the beautifully simple answer. Their pleasing, rounded shape is intuitive to hold, naturally supporting the development of the tripod grasp without any fuss, which is brilliant for fine motor control. The fun egg shape also encourages children to use their whole arm for large scale mark making outdoors, which in turn boosts vital gross motor development. This pack of six vibrant colours transforms any slab of pavement or outdoor wall into an enormous, temporary canvas for spontaneous creativity. Watch the expressive arts and design area come to life as children explore texture, colour mixing, and self expression. They are durable, wonderfully tactile, and just a lot more fun than a boring stick of white chalk.
