Description
These kids' colouring pencils come tucked inside a slim tube printed with the Sunny Sausage Dog design, a sky-blue scene full of happy dachshunds in rainbow-striped jumpers. One stretches out in a long striped coat, another curls up asleep beneath a rainbow knit, and a third sits up under a bright orange sun, with little bones, green leaves and a bowl of treats dotted in between. Lift off the lid and a white inner sleeve holds the pencils upright, their natural wood barrels topped with bright coloured points. The tube stands 10cm tall and 3.5cm across, and each pencil is about 8.7cm long and 0.7cm across, a short and handy length.
With everything kept together in one tidy tube, this little set slips easily into a school bag, a backpack or the glovebox for long car journeys, ready whenever a colouring book comes out. At home it stands neatly on a desk, a bedroom shelf or the craft table, so the pencils stay in one place rather than rolling onto the floor. It is a cheerful bit of kit for keeping kids busy at a café table, on a train or while waiting at a restaurant, and the bright print makes it easy to spot in the bottom of a bag.
The pencils are made from poplar wood, each with a coloured core running through to its point, and the lid fits back over the tube to keep them all together. Store them points up in the white sleeve so the tips are less likely to snap, and when a point wears down, a quick sharpen brings it back. Avoid getting the tube wet and wipe it over with a soft dry cloth to keep the print bright. We like to pair it with a colouring book or a sketchpad for a small, thoughtful gift that gets used straight away.
