Description
These colouring pencils come in a long, slim tube printed all over with sharks, so the tube is as much fun as the pencils inside. The tube is a deep blue-green, swimming with sharks in orange, pale blue, sandy grey and charcoal, some sleek, some striped and some spotted, and the print carries on round the lift-off lid and across its top. The wooden pencils have plain natural barrels and coloured tips in a bright spread of shades, from red, orange and yellow to green, blue, purple and pink. The tube stands 19.3cm tall and 3.5cm across, and each pencil is about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across.
We think these kids' colouring pencils earn their place on a desk at home, in a school bag or beside a stack of colouring books. The tube keeps the pencils together and their tips protected, so nothing rolls off the table or goes missing at the bottom of a bag, and it is slim enough to slip into a backpack for car journeys and rainy afternoons. For children who love the sea, the sharks make drawing time feel like a trip to the aquarium, and the tube makes a tidy pencil pot once the lid comes off.
The pencils are made from poplar wood and come sharpened, ready to colour straight away. The white inner sleeve holds them neatly in the printed tube, and the lid slides on over the top to close it. Keep the tube somewhere dry, put the lid back on after drawing, and sharpen the pencils as they wear down. As a gift for a young artist, it needs little more than a ribbon round the tube, and we like it alongside a sketchbook for a shark fan who loves to draw.
