Thick hexagonal colored pencils - The best wooden pencils in a set

Durable, break-resistant core

Our colored pencils withstand even action-packed coloring adventures. If the wooden pencils are dropped on the floor, the core inside the pencil remains intact. The double-sided, continuous special gluing of the 5.3 mm thick pencil cores makes the colored pencils so resilient and guarantees maximum break resistance. You can feel this when coloring and sharpening — instead of flaking off, our high-quality cores hold up over time.

Vibrant colors thanks to a highly pigmented core

Our 1 cm thick colored pencils have a high-quality core at their center. This contains above-average amounts of strong color pigments and delivers exactly what you want on the page: a wow of color!

Coloring on paper, wood & cardboard

With our color-intense wooden pencils, different materials can be successfully covered with radiant color. Whether it’s the drawing paper, the large cardboard beautifully painted into a playhouse or wooden picture frames turned into personalized gifts — with our high-quality wooden pencils the most creative projects succeed.

Suitable for right- & left-handers

Our colored pencils simply feel good. Whether painted with the right or left hand: the pleasant hexagonal shape fits ideally and ensures long-lasting coloring comfort.

2in1: natural wooden pencil with color identification

The appealing look of our colored pencils invites children and adults to draw and create. The natural wood appearance of the hexagonal grip provides a relaxing touch and makes the rich colors easy to recognize. So that this doesn’t work solely because of the core, we equip our colored pencils with a pleasing color bar at the pencil end. This allows the artists to spot their desired color even from a distance.

Color-sorted in the matching wooden box or wooden holder

With our practical wooden box tidying up becomes child’s play, since each of the 12 popular colors gets its own compartment. Children enjoy sorting the attractive colored pencils by color, creating new color sequences and restoring order. This also makes coloring much more relaxed. Because compared to a single compartment, it is quickly visible where each color is located. Those who prefer the pencils a bit more spread out but still nicely organized can do so with our matching wooden holder. Here the colors can either be mixed across several tables to create an appealing spot or sorted by color like in the compartments of the wooden box.

The right pencil & the correct pencil grip

Who are the hexagonal pencils best for?

Hexagonal pencils are ideal for children and adults who write in the four-point grip. The shape harmonizes better with the grip than triangular pencils. This makes a comfortable writing posture possible in the long term.

Which is the correct pencil grip?

There is no universally correct pencil grip. To properly support a child, they must be considered individually. In general, it is sensible to practice the three-point grip to offer the child this option. However, there are also some children and adults who prefer to draw and write using the four-point grip.

Exercise for the three-point pencil grip

Once the child has chosen their favorite color from the thick colored pencils, give them a soft pompom. While the thumb, index and middle fingers hold the colored pencil, the pompom is held in the hand with the ring finger and little finger. Small tasks can serve as motivating challenges for more fun: "Can you keep the pompom in your hand while painting your favorite animal?"

Break-resistant. Color-intense. Comfortable. This is the Thick Colored Pencil from KRAFT.
