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

Durable, break-resistant core

Our colored pencils withstand even action-packed drawing adventures. If the wooden pencils are ever dropped on the floor, the core inside the pencil remains intact. The double-sided, continuous special gluing of the 5.3 mm strong pencil cores makes the colored pencils so resilient and guarantees maximum break resistance. You can feel this when drawing and sharpening — instead of crumbling, our high-quality cores remain durable.

Vibrant colors thanks to highly pigmented core

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

Drawing on paper, wood & cardboard

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

Suitable for right- & left-handers

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

2in1: natural wooden pencil with color recognition

The attractive 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 lets the rich colors be recognized quickly. So this doesn’t work solely because of the core, we equip our colored pencils with a matching color band at the pencil end. This way, artists can recognize from a distance where their desired color is hidden.

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 color sequences and tidying up. This also makes drawing much more relaxed. Because compared to a single compartment, it’s quickly visible here which color is where. Those who like the pencils a bit more spread out yet still neatly arranged can do this with our matching wooden holder. In it, the colors can either be mixed across several tables to create an attractive spot or be sorted by color as in the compartments of the wooden box.

The right pencil & the correct grip

Who are the hexagonal pencils best for?

Hexagonal pencils are ideal for children and adults who write with a four-point grip. The shape fits better with the grip than triangular pencils do. This also allows a comfortable writing posture in the long run.

What is the correct grip?

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

Exercise for the three-point grip

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

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