    Default when can they start using crayons

    Its 1 year old to soon for colouring, when can they start and what kind of crayons are safe for that age, evidently they will be putting them in their mouth

    My DD is 11 1/2

    I think that if your DD is interested in crayons then you should let her play with them. I think that all Crayola products are non-toxic so they should be OK if she puts them in her mouth. Make sure you get WASHABLE crayons. I didn't the first time and learned from my mistake.
    I like the large triangular shaped crayons for that age because they don't roll off the table all the time like the round ones do.

    I agree....if they are showing interest, then by all means, stick a crayon in their chubby little hands!

    My DD put crayons in her mouth all the time when she was 1. I tried to minimize it and did the whole "only for the paper" routine...but I am sure that some of it was eaten. I didn't worry too much. That's what kids do IMO
