She likes to hold them, and rarely puts them in her mouth, but still doesn't get the coloring concept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-256427 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 01:32:05 +0000 808love 256427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early, like nine months but once in awhile she would stick it in her mouth so I had to be on her. She quit altogether at about 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255649 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 11:32:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 255649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about this too... the boy I nanny will "color" for a few minutes, then get bored. His mom said she's found very colorful poo in his diapers lol!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255630 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 11:11:59 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 255630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a year I started trying. So far he hasn't tried to put them in his mouth but is a lot more interested in throwing them around than coloring. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255571 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:24:56 +0000 pelikila 255571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 14 months daycare started to give crayons to my son. They watch them like hawks though and correct them if they try to put them in their mouths. Same with playdoh and other items. It has made a difference because by 16 months I could give him crayons at a restaurant and he stopped trying to put them in his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255557 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:56:20 +0000 MsMamaBear 255557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just wondering this too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255545 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:37:56 +0000 chopsuey 255545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sulli301: got em on amazon! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255544 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:37:50 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 255544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until more like 2.

She did try to eat them at first, and succeeded a few times. :P<br /> I just bought her these. Figured they were less likely to break, and easier to use. She LOVES them! She actually loves taking them out and putting them back in the "case" than she does coloring with them though.<br /> :) </p> [attach=45/12/m8lajt.594x597.Screen-shot-2012-08-11-at-7.55.26-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-start-using-crayons#post-255509 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 06:47:37 +0000 Rubies 255509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you wait until LO stopped putting things in the mouth? </p>
