How to use

Select the desired colour and sharpen the pencil to a suitable point using a manual or electric sharpener designed for coloured leads. Apply colour to paper with light, even strokes to build tone gradually; layer successive colours for blending effects. Use a blending stump, cotton swab or gentle finger blending where appropriate for smoother transitions. Store pencils in the cardboard box after use to protect the leads from breakage.

Recommendations

For best results, use good-quality drawing paper and sharpen gently to avoid lead breakage. Encourage children to apply light pressure when starting and increase pressure to intensify colour; supervise sharpening and storage to extend pencil life.
