BIC Kids Tropicolors colouring pencils are great for kids aged 5 and up to learn about colouring large and medium-sized areas. These pencils have a hexagonal shape and the barrel is the same colour as the lead so children can easily recognise and tell the difference between colours. They have a 2.9 mm pigmented lead. This box contains an extensive palette of 24 bold colours. These colouring pencils are made without wood so won't give your child any nasty splinters if they get broken.
