Description
This tube of colouring pencils wears the cheerful Tilde floral print, a scatter of red, pink, blue and yellow flowers with green leaves on a soft cream ground. Lift the lid and a bundle of wooden pencils sits ready in a neat white sleeve, each with a bright coloured point and a natural poplar body. The tube stands 19.3cm tall and 3.5cm across, and each pencil is about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across, a slim, easy size to hold and sharpen. The flowers run all the way round the tube and over the lid, so it looks just as pretty from every side.
It is made with children in mind, a happy little kit for anyone who loves to colour, doodle and draw. Slip it into a school bag or a craft box, or leave it standing on a desk where the flowers bring a little brightness to homework time. Because the pencils travel in their own tube, it is an easy companion for car journeys and rainy afternoons, and the cheerful print is equally at home on a grown-up's desk beside a sketchbook or planner.
The pencils are made of poplar wood and come sharpened, ready to use the moment the lid comes off. The whole thing weighs about 58g, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. Keep the lid on when the pencils are not in use so the points stay tidy, and dust the outside of the tube with a soft dry cloth. A pencil sharpener will keep the points crisp as they wear down. For a little present, tuck it beside a plain sketchbook and wrap the two together; the print is so pretty it barely needs paper.
