Faber-Castell art materials for children are manufactured to be safe and non-toxic.
These are wax-based/standard color pencils, so they will not react to water like watercolor pencils, but they can be used alongside them for mixed-media projects.
Most standard fabrics can be cleaned by laundering as usual. For stubborn marks, pre-treat the area with a mild stain remover before washing.
While they fit in many universal sharpeners, a triangular-specific sharpener is recommended to ensure an even cut.
The box contains 27 pencils total: 24 standard colors and 3 bi-colour pencils.
Ensure you are using a sharpener intended for triangular pencils and avoid over-sharpening the lead to a needle point.
Check the paper texture; these pencils perform best on medium-tooth paper. Applying less pressure while layering will improve blending results.
To maintain the pencils, ensure you use a sharpener designed for triangular barrels to prevent damaging the wood casing or the SV-bonded lead. Store the pencils in their original container or a horizontal pencil case to prevent tip damage during transport. If you need to clean the surface of the wood, use a dry cloth; do not submerge the pencils in water, as this can affect the wood integrity over time. While the pigment is washable from most textiles, it is best to treat stains as quickly as possible with cold water and soap for the best results.
