Rebecca –
I bought this set of pencils to use at work (an early childhood centre), and the 1 1/2-2 year olds love them! The triangular shape and shorter length of the pencils further supported the children’s engagement in drawing, as did the softness and high pigmentation of the lead.
Beautiful to draw with!
