STAEDTLER 157 SB24 Ergosoft Triangular Colouring Pencils - Assorted Colours (Pack of 24 Pencils)

Product Information

The watercolor pencils have a watercolor lead, which offers a wide range of coloring possibilities, as the rich colors can be applied with water and a brush. Over 180 years ago, Johann Sebastian Staedtler developed the colored oil pastel pencil, the predecessor of the colored pencil. The manufacturing process has not changed all that much over the years: individual color pigments are still mixed with binding agents and pressed into the shape of a lead. The lead is encased in wood to protect it. These colored pencils offer numerous advantages over the earlier pastel pencils: The density of the material makes these pencils a little heavier, and they sit comfortably in the hand. When starting to color, children often press down too hard as their sensitivity to pressure is not yet fully developed. These colored pencils therefore also feature ABS, the white protective coating around the lead that increases break-resistance. Staedtler Colouring Pencils have soft leads which provide brilliantly intense colouring results on paper. They are also easy to sharpen with any quality sharpener and all conform to EN 71 series (Safety of Toys standards), so you can have peace of mind when your kids use these pencils.

I think so many young children are given coloring books to help pass the time or as methods to help stimulate their minds. As parents, and I've been guilty of this in the past myself, money is obviously important and so the five free colored pencils that come with the coloring book, will be enough. However, when the young inquisitive mind tries to use the pencils in the book, very little to no color actual leaves the pencil and so the child digs deeper and scribbles with all their might in an attempt to squeeze the last bit of pigment from the pencil, but to no avail. It is at this time that the child stops and going forward in their life,associates art as a chore, an unexciting experience. For a little bit of extra money, that horrible experience could have been avoided and an entirely different world of opportunity opened. Staedtler Ergosoft FeaturesThe range also includes special erasable coloured pencils. Mistakes can be corrected immediately with the PVC and latex-free eraser at the end of the pencil.

From what I can ascertain, Staedtler have three brands of colored pencil, Staedtler Noris Club, Staedtler Noris and Staedtler Ergosoft. With the Ergosoft, the pencil we are reviewing here, the largest set is 24 and they also have a set of 12. I personally would love to see this particular range of pencil extended to 36 or 48, giving a little bit more choice to the younger artists using this pencil. Thanks to its triangular shape, the pencil sits comfortably in the hand ensuring relaxed and easy colouring.
