FAQs
What is the recommended age for these pencils?
These are recommended for children aged 2 years and older.
Are the colors truly washable?
Yes, the pigments are specially formulated to be easily washed from most common surfaces and fabrics.
Can I use a regular sharpener?
No, you must use the specialized sharpener provided in the pack because of the extra-large 7 mm lead.
How many pencils are in the pack?
This pack contains 6 assorted colored pencils.
Is the lead toxic?
GIOTTO be-bè products are designed with safety as a priority; they are crafted for young children's use.
Troubleshooting
The pencil won't fit into a standard pencil sharpener.
These pencils are 7 mm and require the specific GIOTTO be-bè sharpener included in your pack.
The tip breaks frequently during use.
Ensure the pencil is not being pressed too forcefully against the paper. Toddlers often need help learning to apply light, consistent pressure.
