Description
This metal tin of 36 wooden colouring pencils carries the Sharks print, a large, toothy shark swimming across a deep teal lid with the words 36 Colouring Pencils printed in white in one corner. Lift the lid and a paler aqua inside shows a smaller shark, while the pencils lie side by side in a neat row, running from white, grey and black through browns, purples and blues to turquoise, greens, pinks, reds, oranges and yellows. Each pencil is standard size and hexagonal, so it sits comfortably in the hand and is less likely to roll off a desk. The tin is 31cm long, 19cm wide and 1.5cm deep.
With so many shades in one tin, there is plenty of choice for colouring books, sketching, doodling and drawing anything from coral reefs to rocket ships. It sits happily on a desk, a kitchen table or a playroom shelf, and the slim, flat shape slips into a drawer when the colouring is done. We think the shark design will win over children who love the ocean and its bigger, toothier residents, and the tin is just as handy for a rainy afternoon at home as for keeping a young artist busy on a long journey.
The tin is metal and the pencils are wood, arriving ready sharpened with their points lined up along the top of the row. Because they are standard size, they fit an ordinary pencil sharpener, so a blunt tip is put right. To keep the tin looking its best, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it well, and close the lid after use so every colour stays together. Putting the pencils back in rainbow order makes tidying up quick and shows at a glance which shade has wandered off. As a present, the printed lid does most of the work, so a ribbon around the tin is all the wrapping it needs.
