Designed for exceptional durability, Kids® Coloring Pencils help minimize frustrations to keep children happy and focused on their art. Durable, break-resistant, easy-to-sharpen barrels are designed to snap cleanly without splintering, unlike traditional wooden pencils, even if they should fail. The bright and colorful leads, themselves, are also break-resistant, and a specially engineered protective sheath around the lead provides even greater reliability, allowing young artists to draw and color to their hearts desire, regardless of how much pressure they wish to muster.
