Beautiful, high quality pencils that are the perfect shape for children's small hands and have exceptionally vibrant colours. Made from smooth, unvarnished softwood, they have an extra thick, unbreakable lead, which wears longer than standard coloured pencils and requires less frequent sharpening. The rounded, triangular shape fits comfortably into smaller hands, and encourages a better pencil grip.  The 12 colours comprise: zinc yellow, lemon, orange, scarlet red, geranium light, violet dark, light blue, Prussian blue, meadow green, may green, ochre brown, Van-Dyck-brown.
