Description
This tin of 36 colouring pencils carries the Fairies in the Garden print: a teal lid scattered with fairies, butterflies, daisies, bell flowers and bright orange blooms, with the words 36 Colouring Pencils set in one corner. Lift the lid and its inside is green with a single fairy in flight, while the pencils sit side by side in a neat row beneath. The shades run from white and black through browns, purples and blues, into teals and greens, then pinks, reds, oranges and yellows, so there is a colour to hand for every petal and wing. The base of the tin is a soft blue with its own band of fairies and flowers. The pencils are wooden and the tin is metal.
A metal tin keeps the whole set together. That matters on a busy kitchen table or a crowded desk, where loose pencils tend to wander. It lies flat, so it slides easily onto a shelf, into a drawer or into a school bag, and the pencils go back into the tin once the drawing is done. These are kids' colouring pencils for drawing, doodling and filling in colouring books. It looks cheerful left out on a bedroom or playroom desk between sessions.
Each pencil has a wooden barrel and arrives sharpened, ready to use straight away. The tin is printed on the lid and base, and a wipe with a soft dry cloth keeps the metal looking bright. The whole set weighs 0.476KG, light enough to carry from room to room. A sharpener close by keeps the points crisp as the colours wear down. For gifting, the tin needs little more than a ribbon, and we like to set it beside a plain sketchbook for a cheerful present that is ready to open and use.
