How do I choose between colored pencils and crayons for my grade level?
For PreK and early elementary, crayons, especially chubby and triangular shapes, offer durability and ease of use. As students develop fine motor control in grades 2-5, colored
pencils provide precision for detailed work, shading, and layering.
