Thick Hexagonal Colored Pencils - The Best Wooden Pencils in a Set

Durable, break-resistant lead

Our colored pencils withstand even action-packed coloring adventures. If the wooden pencils are dropped on the floor, the lead inside the pencil remains intact. The double-sided, continuous special gluing of the 5.3 mm strong pencil leads makes the colored pencils so resilient and guarantees highest break resistance. You can feel that when coloring and sharpening – instead of chipping, our high-quality leads hold up over time.

Vibrant colors thanks to highly pigmented lead

Our 1 cm thick colored pencils contain a high-quality core. This contains above-average amounts of intense 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, various materials can successfully be given radiant color. Whether it’s the drawing paper, the large cardboard beautifully painted into a playhouse or wooden picture frame becoming a handmade gift – 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 the left hand: the pleasant hexagonal shape fits ideally and ensures long-lasting comfort while coloring.

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 surface brings a relaxing touch and makes the rich colors easy to recognize. So that this is not determined solely by the lead, we equip our colored pencils with an attractive color band at the pencil end. This allows the artists to recognize from a distance which color they are looking for.

In the matching wooden box or wooden holder sorted by color

With our practical wooden box tidying up becomes child's play, as each of the 12 popular colors gets its own compartment. Children enjoy sorting the attractive colored pencils by color, creating new sequences in the color progression and making 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 yet neatly arranged can do so with our matching wooden holder . Here the colors can either be mixed across several tables to create an attractive spot or, as in the compartments of the wooden box, be sorted by color.

The right pencil & the correct pencil grip

Who are the hexagonal pencils best for?

For children and adults who write with a four-point grip, hexagonal pencils are ideal. The shape better accommodates the grip than triangular pencils do. Thus a comfortable writing posture is also 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 makes sense 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 with a 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 pompon. While the thumb, index and middle finger hold the colored pencil, the pompon is held in the hand by the ring finger and little finger. Small tasks can serve as a motivating challenge for more fun: ‘Can you keep the pompon in your hand while simultaneously drawing your favorite animal?’

Break-resistant. Intense color. Comfortable. That is the Thick Colored Pencil from KRAFT.
