Description
This long tube of colouring pencils wears the Fairies in the Garden print: a deep green background scattered with fairies in pink dresses and orange wings, fluttering butterflies and a meadow of garden flowers. There are forget-me-nots, daisies, lily of the valley and nodding blue bells, with bright leaves and dots in pink, orange, sky blue and green filling every gap, and the pattern carries on over the lid. The tube stands 19.3cm tall and 3.5cm across. Inside, a rainbow of pencils waits with natural wood barrels and coloured tips, each one about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across, so they are proper full-length pencils.
Because it stands upright on its own base, the tube sits neatly on a desk, a bedside table or a shelf in a child's bedroom, keeping every colour together and ready to grab. It suits an art corner or a homework table, and at just 58g it slips easily into a school bag or a travel bag for long journeys and rainy afternoons away from home. We think it is a lovely choice for children who love to draw, colour in and doodle, and for anyone who likes their pencils to look as cheerful on the desk as the pictures they make.
The pencils are made from poplar wood, a light timber that keeps the whole tube easy to carry. The lid lifts off to reveal a white inner sleeve that holds the pencils upright with their points on show, so choosing a colour is quick, and the lid slides back on to keep them tidy afterwards. Wipe the tube with a soft dry cloth to keep it looking fresh, and sharpen the pencils as they wear down. For a gift, it needs little more than a ribbon tied round the middle, and it goes happily with a sketchbook or colouring book as a small present a child can use straight away.
