Description
This tube of wooden colouring pencils is wrapped in the Sharks print: sharks of several kinds glide around a deep blue-green ground in pale blues, greys and sandy browns, with another swimming across the top of the lid. The pencils are wood with coloured graphite cores, arrive sharpened and stand upright in the tube, so every colour is in view the moment the lid comes off. The tube is 10cm tall and 3.5cm across, and each pencil is about 8.7cm long and 0.7cm thick, a short, slim size that sits easily in the hand.
At 10cm tall the tube slips into a pencil case, a bag or a coat pocket, and at around 27g it adds next to nothing to the load. It is a handy companion for long car journeys, train rides and café tables, ready for a colouring book or a quick sketch wherever one is wanted. On a desk it stands neatly on its flat base, and the shark print brings a cheerful splash of the sea to a study corner, a craft table or a bedroom shelf.
The lid slides snugly over the top of the tube to keep the pencils together, and the colours run from red, orange and yellow through greens and blues to purple, brown and black. Being wood, the pencils sharpen like any ordinary pencil, so a small sharpener renews the points as they wear down. To keep the tube looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. Tucked into a gift bag or set beside a colouring book, it makes a small, thoughtful present that will be reached for again and again.
