Pencil Staedtler 140 C36

The Staedtler 140 C36 is a 3-in-1 colouring pencil designed as a first colouring tool for young children and for general colouring tasks. Packaged in a bucket with 36 pencils in 18 assorted colours and three sharpeners, each pencil combines coloured pencil, wax crayon and watercolour pencil properties. The chunky format and ergonomic shape suit small hands, while the thick lead offers high break resistance. The wooden bodies are made from certified, sustainably managed forests.

Advantages

Three functions in one pencil—coloured pencil, wax crayon and watercolour pencil—allow versatile use on paper, cardboard, glass and dark surfaces. Soft strokes produce bright colours, and the super-thick lead reduces breakage. The large, chunky format fits children from 2+ and supports comfortable grip and control.

Suitable for

• Preschool children learning to colour (from 2+)
• Home and kindergarten creative activities
• Colouring on paper and cardboard
• Creative techniques on darker surfaces and glass

How to use

Select the desired colour and apply with light to moderate pressure for smooth, bright strokes. For a watercolour effect, apply colour on paper and blend with a damp brush or sponge. Use the sharpener included to maintain a fine point when needed. For use on glass or dark surfaces, press slightly more firmly or layer colours to increase opacity.

Recommendations

Store the pencils in the included bucket to keep tips protected. Supervise young children during use and avoid prolonged contact with water when blending on non-porous surfaces.
