LYRA Groove Slim Wooden Colouring Pencils, 12 Pieces in Assorted Colours with Sharpener, Ideal for Children and Schools

They are eco-friendly and tough colour pencils. Don't break easily when sharpening. My daughter is delighted with her purchase. Only complaint is that the cardboard case is really not user-friendly (especially not child-friendly) as she struggles a little to get the cardboard trays to fit nicely. I have bought her a roll-up fabric pencil case to store these pencils in.

I bought it for my little one as school request. The little dots help her to hold pencils properly and the color are vivid

most amazing pencils, if you enjoy art and want vibrant colour these are the way to go.

Love Lyra pencils and these are no exception.

Full-size, triangular-barrelled coloured pencils with cut-outs (GROOVE®) to aid 'natural grip', in a cardboard packet.※ LYRA※ GROOVE®※ SLIM※ NATURAL GRIP※ 3.3 mm※ COLOURED PENCILS※ PEFC CertifiedPRODUCT REF: 2821120Pencils ~ ‘Made in China’Sharpener ~ ‘Made in Germany’Box of 12 (Mixed Colours)ooOooFrom the back of the packet (Multi-lingual):✤ Left or Right handed✤ Innovative design✤ 3-sided ergonomic shape✤ Non-slip finger grips for thumb, index & middle fingers to support an optimal writing hold – even after sharpening✤ Extra-breakproof lead✤ The PEFC logo guarantees that the wood in the pencils comes from forests managed in an appropriate and sustainable mannerooOooThese slim, colouring pencils come in a colourful cardboard box with a pencil sharpener included (the colour can vary: mine is YELLOW).The packet measures around 23 cm x 9 cm x 1 cm.The one-holed, plastic-type, regular sharpener is in a little plastic-type enclosure at the top and the colouring pencils pull out on an inner cardboard tray where indicated by the WHITE arrow.These are nice add-ons but are a little fiddly in practice and don’t last long, in my experience. Nevertheless, the slim, triangular-barrelled pencils are good quality delivering strong colour with light pressure and little residue, for the best part, as long as the points are not too sharp.Already sharpened, the pencils measure around 17.5 cm in length with 8 circular clean cut-outs on each barrel, aiming to guide a natural grip.On one side in WHITE lettering is:📝 ‘Groove slim LYRA’On another is a space for ‘name’ which is a 4 cm long box overall but includes the 7-digit colour code number and is very narrow, so not sure how useful this is in general practice?The third has ‘CE’ & the barcode detail in BLACK.They sharpen up well, although due to the cut-outs, do disappear a little faster than other styles, in my experience.The colours are the regular ones you usually find in a dozen, including a PURPLE, which is often missing from the pack by today’s standards.The colours in mine (in no particular order) are:🔅 YELLOW🔅 ORANGE🔅 BLACK🔅 BROWN🔅 BLUE🔅 LIGHT BLUE🔅 LIME🔅 GREEN🔅 RED🔅 PINK🔅 PINKY-PURPLE🔅 PURPLEThis brand sometimes pop up on the ‘Amazon Add-On Programme', representing extra value for money and is worth looking out for, IMO.[17 images attached]

There are my favourite colouring pencils. Recently bought a 2nd set for my friend.

Look good but the leads were damaged all the way through and points continually broke off. One pencil was down to a tiny stub and all I managed to colour was about 2 inches square!

Great shape for little ones who are just mastering the holding of the pencil.Only down side is that they can only be sharpened with their own pencil sharper, I tried other regular ones and it didn’t work.
