Description
This tube of colouring pencils carries the Wild Wonders print, a cheerful crowd of jungle animals that kids love to spot. A teal elephant with a bright orange ear, a toucan, a yellow leopard with green spots, an orange parrot, a lion with a sunny striped mane and a butterfly sit among blue, green, pink and yellow leaves on a pale mint ground. The lid lifts off to reveal a white inner sleeve that holds the wooden pencils upright, sharpened and ready to go, with tips in a rainbow of shades from red, orange and yellow to green, blue, purple and black. The tube stands 10cm tall and 3cm across, and the pencils are 9cm long.
Small enough to slip into a pencil case, a school bag or a coat pocket, it is a handy companion for colouring on the go, whether that means a car journey, a wait for food when eating out or a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table. On a child's desk or bedroom shelf the bright print looks cheerful even when the pencils are resting, and the lid keeps everything together between sessions. We think it suits any kids' colouring corner, and it is a lovely choice for young animal lovers who like to draw elephants, lions and parrots of their own.
The pencils are made of wood, with natural barrels that show the grain and coloured points that sharpen in an ordinary pencil sharpener, so they keep going long after the first picture. The printed tube has a snug lift-off lid and the inner sleeve rises past the outer rim, which makes it easy to pull a pencil out and drop it back in. To keep the print looking fresh, wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from spills. Tuck it alongside a colouring book or sketch pad for a small gift that gets used straight away.
