Description
This tube of colouring pencils wears the Baby Dinos print, a crowd of cheerful cartoon dinosaurs in hot pink, sky blue, leaf green, teal and orange, scattered over a soft cream ground with a pale fern pattern behind them. There are long-necked grazers, a frilled triceratops and spiky-backed little hunters, all drawn with big round eyes and a friendly grin. The tube stands 10cm tall and 3.5cm across, and its lid lifts away to reveal a white inner sleeve holding the pencils upright, points up. Each pencil is made from poplar wood, about 8.7cm long and 0.7cm thick, with a natural wood finish and a coloured tip, so every shade is easy to pick out at a glance.
The short length suits small hands that are still finding their grip, and the slim tube slips into a school bag, a pencil case or a travel bag without taking up much room. It is a handy thing to keep on a kitchen table or a desk for rainy afternoons, a quiet hour in a café or a long car journey, when a colouring book comes out and everyone wants a turn. The whole thing weighs about 27 grams, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. Children who love dinosaurs will enjoy the print as much as the colouring.
The pencils arrive with pointed tips ready to use, and a small pencil sharpener keeps them fresh as they wear down. Press the lid back over the white sleeve between sessions and everything stays together, so no stray pencil rolls under the sofa. Keep the tube somewhere dry and wipe it with a soft dry cloth if it picks up a smudge. We like it slipped beside a colouring book as a small gift, or simply left on a desk where the dinosaurs can keep an eye on things.
