Brighten your day and your coloring book with soft pastel colors in 12 beautiful shades. Pre-sharpened pencils have an easy-to-grip design for better control and are made with thick, soft lead so they won't break easily under pressure. Children will love to use these durable, vividly colored pencils. Small enough to fit in a book bag, this portable box holds 12 colors. Featured colors include Salmon, Melon, Apricot, Unmellow Yellow, Spring Green, Sea Green, Cool Mint, Cornflower, Periwinkle, Purple Mountains Majesty, Slate, and Sand. These pencils are created from reforested wood instead of wood from old-growth forests. For every tree used in the manufacturing of these pencils, a new tree is planted. Color pencils include a pencil sharpener and are recommended for children ages 4 and up.
