Description
These colouring pencils in a tin bring a whole herd of dinosaurs to the art table. Inside the flat metal tin sit 36 wooden pencils, laid out in a neat rainbow that runs from white, black and greys through browns, purples, blues and greens to reds, pinks, oranges and yellows. The lid carries the Prehistoric Land design: six bold illustrations on soft pastel squares, each labelled by name. A Diplodocus, Triceratops, Dimetrodon, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus keep watch over the colours. Lift the lid and its underside is printed with pale fossil skeletons, while the back shows a Stegosaurus squaring up to a Tyrannosaurus.
Made for kids who love to draw, the set suits a desk, a playroom shelf or the kitchen table on a rainy afternoon. The tin measures 31cm long, 19cm wide and just 1.5cm deep, so it slips easily into a drawer or onto a bookshelf. The pencils lie flat in their tray, so every shade can be seen at a glance. With browns, greens and greys alongside the brighter colours, there are plenty of shades for scaly hides, leafy ferns and smoking volcanoes, as well as everything else a young artist wants to colour.
Each pencil has a wooden barrel and a sharpened point, and the tin of pencils weighs 0.476KG, which gives it the feel of a proper art set. The metal tin keeps everything together between sessions. Wipe it with a damp cloth to keep the lid bright, close it after use to protect the points, and sharpen the pencils with an ordinary sharpener as they wear down. As a gift it needs little more than a ribbon, and once the pencils are used up the tin makes a handy box for drawings, stickers and small treasures.
