PrismaColor 36-Piece Pencil has brilliant, blendable, permanent colors. Lead texture is soft and provides a smooth "feel" with excellent lay-down of color. These pencils are thick enough that, using a blunt point, larger areas are covered quickly. Ideal for younger children. Packaged in a durable tin, a Color Combi Pencil Sharpener is included with this set!

More information
Why use colored pencils? Colored pencils are convenient, easy to transport, and practical to work with anywhere. Colored pencils will allow you lots of control so that it is easy to keep your lines clean and precise. Unlike painting, your child can work all day with the vibrant colors of colored pencils without any of the mess.

If you grew up with the same colored pencils I grew up with, you may be thinking, �I don't remember colored pencils having particularly vivid pigments.� Don't let thoughts of the typical school-quality colored pencils influence you. Those inexpensive pencils are of poor quality with hard, gritty leads. They will not only waste your money, but also your child's time and effort.

Using top-flight colored pencils is a lot like painting with watercolors. Because the pigment is somewhat transparent, the hue of one pencil applied over another will combine visually to create a new hue. Such complex compositions are pleasing to the eye. On the other hand, unmixed colors often convey rawness and lack of subtlety.

So where does a mom with little art background go to find a high-quality colored pencil? As with all our products, the first step was research. No matter where we turned, resource books, art courses, artists, even sales representatives for competing manufacturers, the recommendations were all the same: Prismacolor.

You can FEEL the quality!	November 5, 2008
Reviewer: Tracy G. from McKenna, WA

These colored pencils are incredible! We don't even use crayons or any other brand of colored pencils--they are just not worthy of our children's precious art! We are on our second boxed set (48 piece) and are looking forward to replacing it with another when this set gets too short. These pencils are well worth the price! You can FEEL the quality!

A lasting gift for all ages!	November 5, 2008
Reviewer: Julie K. from Sherwood, AR

These are the best colored art pencils we have ever used. They last a long time and hold up well even with our young children learning to use them. The colors make the picture come alive even for our beginning artists. We are ordering more. A lasting gift for all ages!
