Description
This tube of wooden colouring pencils wraps a handful of colour in the Woodland print, a cheerful parade of forest animals on a soft cream ground. A russet fox, a deer with branching antlers, a bushy-tailed squirrel, a minty blue bear, a pink rabbit and a spotted green frog wander among leaves, flowers and butterflies, and the print carries right over the lid. Inside, a white sleeve holds the pencils upright, each with a natural wood finish and a sharpened coloured point, in shades from red, orange and yellow through green and blue to pink, purple, brown and black. The tube stands 10cm tall and 3.5cm across, so it slips easily into a pencil case or a coat pocket.
It suits young artists wherever they like to draw, from the kitchen table to a bedroom desk, and it is small enough to tuck into a school bag or rucksack for car journeys, cafés and waiting rooms. The lid keeps the pencils together on the move, so fewer go missing down the side of a seat. Children who love animals will enjoy spotting each creature as they turn the tube in their hands.
Each pencil is made from poplar wood and measures about 8.7cm long and 0.7cm across, a short, slim size that sits comfortably in smaller hands. The lid lifts straight off and slides back on, so the tube works as a pencil pot on the table and a neat case when you head out. Sharpen the points with an ordinary pencil sharpener as they wear down, and wipe the outside of the tube with a soft dry cloth to keep the print looking fresh. Pair it with a colouring book or a pad of plain paper and you have a thoughtful little gift for a child who loves to draw.
