When should you choose triangular thick pencils?
Thick coloured pencils are specially developed for children who are still learning to write and draw. The 5.3 mm thick core breaks less easily than thin pencils and releases colour immediately. You choose this type of pencil when your child still has difficulty with fine motor skills or when you want drawings to be filled in quickly.

Why the triangular shape is ideal
The triangular shape ensures that your fingers automatically sit in the correct position for a proper pencil grip. This helps children learn the correct writing posture without you having to keep an eye on it all the time. The shape also prevents the pencil from rolling off the table, which is especially handy during craft activities.

Soft-grip zone for extra comfort
These pencils have a special soft-grip zone that provides a comfortable grip while drawing. Your fingers slip less and you need to exert less force to hold the pencil. This reduces hand fatigue, which is especially important if your child is busy drawing or colouring for a long time.

Practical benefits for everyday use
The pencils are water-soluble, which means you can wash the colours out with water for watercolour effects. With the name field, you can label the pencils with your name, useful for school or childcare. The length of 175 mm ensures the pencil lasts a long time, even after many sharpenings.
