Product Information

Full details

The Crayola Colours of the World coloured pencils are designed for children aged 3 and up, offering a diverse palette to represent people from around the globe. With 24 distinct shades divided into almond, gold, and rose tones, they allow for more realistic and detailed character drawings and illustrations. A potential consideration is that the pencils are geared towards representation, which may require a slightly different approach for young artists accustomed to a broader, less nuanced color spectrum.

FAQs

What age group are these pencils recommended for?

These pencils are recommended for children aged 3 years and older.

How many colors are included in this set?

The set includes 24 coloured pencils.

Are these pencils suitable for all skin tones?

The set offers 24 shades divided into almond, gold, and rose tones, with variations, designed to represent a wide range of global skin tones more accurately.

Can these pencils be used for shading?

Yes, the subtle shades and smooth pigment allow for layering and blending, which are effective for shading and creating realistic effects.

What is the difference between these and standard colored pencils?

These pencils focus specifically on a diverse range of skin tones, unlike standard sets that typically include a broader spectrum of colors without a specific focus on representation.

Are these pencils non-toxic?

As a Crayola product, they are formulated with child safety in mind and are generally non-toxic, adhering to safety standards like CE certification.

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead breaks easily.

Ensure you are using a sharpener designed for colored pencils and avoid pressing too hard when sharpening. Apply lighter pressure when drawing.

Colors appear dull on paper.

Layering colors can often enhance vibrancy. Try applying multiple light layers rather than one heavy layer. Ensure the paper surface is suitable for colored pencils.

Difficult to achieve desired skin tone.

Experiment with blending different shades from the set. Mixing a touch of rose with almond, or gold with a darker shade, can create unique tones.
