Product Information
Full details
The STABILO woody 3-in-1 duo is a versatile, multi-talented pencil designed for children and artists who want a tool that functions as a colouring pencil, watercolour, and wax crayon in one. Featuring a unique duo lead with 10 vibrant colour combinations, it provides exceptional colour intensity and opacity on various surfaces like paper, glass, and leather. While the thick, ergonomic shape is perfect for small hands and durable enough for heavy use, it is important to note that it is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts.

FAQs
Can these be used as regular colouring pencils?
Yes, they function perfectly as dry colouring pencils on paper and cardboard.
Are they safe for small children?
They are safe for children aged 3 and up. They are not recommended for children under 36 months due to small parts.
How do I turn them into watercolours?
Simply draw on your paper and use a wet paintbrush to blend the pigments directly on the page.
Will these stain my windows?
No, the pigments are designed to be easily wiped off glass surfaces with water.
Do I need a special sharpener?
Yes, due to the 10mm lead thickness, a standard thin-pencil sharpener will not work.
Are they sustainable?
Yes, the wood used in the pencils is 100% PEFC-certified.
Troubleshooting
Pencil point keeps breaking during sharpening
Ensure you are using a sharpener designed for thick-lead pencils (10mm). A standard sharpener will apply too much pressure and snap the lead.
Colour is not removing easily from a surface
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the underlying surface.
Pencil feels too soft or waxy
The pencil contains a high wax content. If stored in a hot environment, move to a cooler area to allow the wax to firm up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the 10mm diameter, the woody 3-in-1 duo is thicker than standard school pencils. Always ensure you have a dedicated sharpener designed for thick-lead pencils to maintain the point without damaging the wood casing. When using on smooth surfaces like glass or mirrors, test a small area first to ensure your specific surface type wipes clean easily. Store your pencils in a cool, dry place to prevent the waxy lead from softening in high temperatures. If the pencils are used as watercolours, ensure you clean your brushes thoroughly after use to prevent cross-contamination of colours.
