Full details
The BIC Kids Evolution Stripes Colouring Pencils are designed specifically for young artists and students, offering a reliable, break-resistant tool for both precise sketching and broad area coloring.

FAQs
Are these pencils safe for young children?
Yes, they are designed as part of the BIC Kids range, featuring a woodless, splinter-free design specifically for younger users.
Can I use any sharpener with these?
Yes, they are compatible with standard pencil sharpeners, though a sharp metal blade will always provide the cleanest results.
What is the benefit of the hexagonal barrel?
The hexagonal shape provides a better grip for small hands and prevents the pencil from rolling off desks and tables.
Do these pencils contain wood?
No, they are crafted from synthetic resin, which makes them much more durable than traditional wooden pencils.
Are these colors washable?
The pigments are high quality; while they are designed for drawing, standard household practices for removing marks from skin or clothes should be followed.
Troubleshooting
Lead keeps breaking during sharpening
Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp and not clogged with old shavings, as dull blades can chip the synthetic material.
Color appears light or faint on paper
Apply slightly more pressure; these leads are designed to be vibrant but may require layering for maximum color intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pencils require no special setup; they are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the best performance, ensure you are using a high-quality, sharp metallic pencil sharpener. If the lead feels dull during a project, a quick turn in a standard sharpener will restore the tip. Keep the pencils in a cool, dry place to ensure the pigmented leads remain smooth. To store, simply place them in a standard pencil case or a desktop cup; the hexagonal shape will keep them in place if placed on a flat surface.
