GIOTTO Mega Chunky Colouring Pencils, 12 Assorted Colours, For Children, Parties and Schools

These are high quality, well made pencils. Love the fact that they're thicker than the regular colouring pencils. My 2 year old and 5 year old love using them and they've lasted well. Saw these being used in a kids area at a science museum and thought they were solid and high quality. So glad I made the purchase.

Fab gold and silver metallic pencils, they are fantastic to sharpen and are great to use and blend,etc., and will really enhance all types of your artwork. Give them a try!

Easy to colour easy to hold.

Perfect for young creative minds. Vibrant colours. I bought it when it was on offer but 10 quid is a bit too much for colouring pencils hence, only four stars

I got these colouring in pencils for my 6yr old girl, well worth the money, keeps her out of mischief ,☺a word of warning tho,watch how you sharpen them,you will need a bigger sharpener because they could break quite easy

These have some wonderfully soft leads in them, especially considering they are metallic. I've found myself reaching for the gold pencils just to sketch things out, and this is due entirely to how it feels in my hand and how it goes down on the paper. Think of writing with a lovely kohl eye pencil and you're almost there, but the pencil marks don't smudge.I know these are aimed towards children but I've got bad hands. Finding soft pencils that don't smudge is a chore, but these are lovely to work with. I can't say that I've noticed a lot of metallic shine from the gold ones, but the Mega type of pencil seems easy to use and last ages.

Chunky pencils - ideal for colouring / shading and loved by the children ( 7- 10 yrs) I teach. When I tried to purchase a smaller size, there was nothing available for the price. Excellent find.

Perfect for a two year old and upwards. They are large and you will need a special sharpener, try the "Staedtler Double Hole".
