When it comes to kids’ art supplies, crayons are a perennial favorite. But before you pick some up for your tot, make sure they’re age-appropriate.

Not only were they designed with your child in mind, but they’re all conveniently available on Amazon. Get ready to stock up.

Crayola My First Palm Grip Crayons

You can’t talk crayons without mentioning Crayola. The brand is famous for its coloring utensils, so naturally, it makes all sorts. These egg-shaped scribblers are ergonomically designed for small hands. Bonus: They’re washable (because tots are known to make messes).

Crayola My First Washable Tripod Crayons

Here’s another Crayola style we love for its unique shape. The triangular design of these crayons for toddlers makes them fit better between tiny fingers. It also stops them from rolling away—buh-bye, frustration.
