What Colored Pencils to Buy for a Child: Choosing the Best Option Depending on Age
The quality of the stationery supplies determines, first of all, the comfort of the child. If it is uncomfortable for him to use pencils, then all interest in creativity will pass.
Therefore, we invite you to consider with us which colored pencils are best suited for children of different ages.
For children under three years old, it is recommended to choose pencils that are not too thick or too thin, so that they do not slip out of the fingers.
Preference should be given to pencils with a triangular cross-section and a diameter of about one centimeter.
It is important that the pencils are soft enough.
You can evaluate the softness of the lead by the marking, and if it is missing, then a basic test will help, for which you need to draw the lead on paper. A good pencil should leave a bright mark when pressed lightly.
Children over three years old can be offered watercolour pencils. They can be used to draw in different ways – with a dry lead on dry or wet paper, and with a wet lead on a dry or wet sheet.
The result is a rich image that resembles watercolor.
