I loved the look of the pencils, they seemed very sturdy and great colours. There wasn’t anything special about the packaging, but it was strong and similar to that or other ‘pencil’ products. As the product is different to other types in its genre, it would have helped for that to have been made clearer. These are excellent for toddlers hands, especially as they tend to be quite heavy handed. They are nice and sturdy with a nice mix of colour choices. The lighter colours cleaned fine, but it was hard to get the red/blue off walls and door fascia’s (my two year old got hold of them and had a field day). Best used supervised and left well out of reach. These had lovely strong colours and easy to achieve this without too much effort. They were very sturdy; they were excellent in that respect. The quality is excellent; strong, sturdy and great colours. They do offer great value for money but I would be keener to buy if a sharpener was included. I would definitely recommend them to others. We absolutely loved this product; however I was shocked that a sharpener was not included and seemed difficult to source. I could only find one on amazon for about £5 with packaging, so I didn’t bother getting one. It’s a shame as my daughter loves the pencils. I will have to see if I can find elsewhere and cheaper. The usual‘jumbo’ type of sharpener is just not large enough. Lorna Nolan – Tilley 4 Years

On receipt of the product I didn’t think it looked much different to a pack of chunky crayons. The packaging was very basic which wouldn’t with stand my youngest child. Both of my children have loved drawing with these pencils. They are a good size for both to hold and they seem comfortable to get a grip of. The colours are pretty much the colours you would expect if you were buying a packet of pencils/crayons of that amount. It would be nice to see some different shades. I was amazed at how easy it was to clean off the floor! This is definitely a positive when dealing with a couple of children. I also found that they drew nicely on the white board that they have got and with them being easy to wipe off I just couldn’t fault them. I thought the colour density was great. I’m often disheartened when I see my daughter trying to draw with a yellow pencil and it being so light but these were great. With my son also being so young it was great that he didn’t have to press so hard to make marks. These are very solid, which is surprising as they are not very heavy, none have snapped so far. I think the quality of the product is excellent. I love the product however I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay the retail price for just 6 pencils. I would definitely buy them if they were on offer. I would recommend these to family and friends. The pencils are great, lovely looking and sturdy to use. The children love that they can draw on different things, and the selling point is definitely the ease of cleaning afterwards. Katie Lowndes – Cara 4 Years and Isaac 18 Months

The packaging for this product was excellent. The sizes of the pencils are great for little fingers even my 2 year old found them easy enough to hold and use. There are enough varieties of colours in the pack too which is good. I found it was very easy to clean the colours off table tops and so on. The brightness of the colours was great without pressing down hard. These pencils are very sturdy and they are all still in one piece. The quality is great especially for the ages of my girls. I think they are good value for money but for me I would only buy them if they were a little cheaper plus the only other downside is you will need to buy the sharpener for it. There’s only a limited amount of use without the sharpener. I would recommend this product to family and friends. These pencils are great to colour with and to paint with.
