I run a very popular afterschool art club and work with up to 60 children each week. We rarely use paints due to the additional time it takes to set up painting materials and clean up afterwards, not to mention the potential damage to the classroom and children's clothing! We've occasionally used watercolour pencils but the cheap ones are useless and the expensive ones are poor value for money. These Stabilo pencils have solved all these problems once and for all. Yes, they are pricey, but they are too chunky to break and the colours are incredibly vivid so a little goes a long way. It's a joy to see the children's faces when I demonstrate how they work - it's like magic!My budget is too tight to buy multiple sets of these, but we have perhaps 30 in all and they have been used for about half a dozen lessons (60 kids each lesson!) over the last few months and they are still going (though obviously much shorter). Most of the kids prefer using them to poster paint and the colours are gorgeously bright whether they are used with water or not. Set up is a breeze - just a pot of pencils and paper on each table, then when they are finished drawing I give them a cup of water and a paintbrush. The water gets less saturated than with poster paints too, so they aren't constantly needing a fresh cup. They dry quickly, so no need to leave pictures overnight to dry, and cleanup is a breeze - just empty cups and a quick rinse of the brushes! And if the children don't have time to finish their pictures, they can always do the "painting" bit at home as they don't need any special materials, just water and a brush. Honestly, these are probably the best materials I have ever invested in, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again in future. They would also make the ideal gift for arty children, and would last a very long time when not being used by 60 of them!!

These are much chunkier than any toddler mark making tools I've used before but are easy to hold and use with their non slip grip wood pencil like outer. They are round rather than the often found triangular grip but this means you can sharpen them with the oversized sharpener included.I did balk at the cost of this set but I think these crayons that look like pencils and are as strong a colour as felt tips are worth it. The drawing you can do with them is strong and colourful - much brighter than colouring pencils and you can even draw on glass and plastic with the mess easily removed with something like a baby wipe. Like crayon though it doesn't mark fabric well so greater protection for things like your carpet and sofa.I have tried scribbling on my brown fabric sofa and the brighter colours like red did make a line but it only took a baby wipe to remove compared to lots of scrubbing needed with crayola washable markers.You get that soft flowing feel crayon feeling in use - like silk crayons rather than the scratchy normal pencil feel.I will buy these over normal pencils again for my toddlers. 4+ will probably prefer more grown up looking pencils as these definitely look like toddler ones.Update 25/10/16 still love these and I've gone on to purchase the pack of 18 which is even better as you get a black plastic storage tray plus a paintbrush and sharpener in fitted sections. Once over painted with water the colours do fade a lot to look like watercolour. See before and after pumpkin pic.

We bought a small set of these as part of a big sister gift for my three year old earlier this year and they were such a hit I opted to try the bigger set with sharpener included as they are such an excellent art tool for especially young children.These pencils are multiple duty meaning they reduce the necessary purchasing and storing of multiple art materials if you are limited on space or budget. They can do duty as colouring pencils (for younger children) crayons, black paper pencils and water colour paints. The RRP may seem steep but to purchase everything separately (including strongly-pigmented pencils for black paper work) AND the sharpener which was previously only on add-on,you could see yourself in a similar price range and have to store it all.The pencils are gloriously chubby for the tiniest of hands (my daughter is very small for her age) and can help improve motor skills by aiding the transition from the fisted to the pincer to the pencil grip over time unlike the unwieldy balance of traditional thin pencils. The colours are rich and the colouring process is soft and buttery with enough slip not to be scratchy (I hate scratchy pencils!).Painted over with a brush you can soften the drawing, and if you carefully dip the pencil (and allow a good dry after) a child can create paint like effects.The addition of a sharpener is an excellent idea and these pencils are brilliant, I would repurchase these and recommend them to any parent looking to restock their art supplies.

Crayons are a great standard for young kids, they are fun to play with and colouring in is a great way to spend some of a wet day in, or for an aritistic child any of the time. The 'Stabilo 3-1 Pencils' are not just crayons, but also paints and can be used for a window display. Most children will use them for the standard colouring in and here they are excellent. The pencils are super chunky so ideal for small hands to hold and they go onto paper brilliantly. This pack of ten comes with most of the standard colours, but also a handy child friendly sharpener. Because the lead is a little more crayon like, it is softer and can be squished a little,but it does mean that even the smallest child can apply enough pressure to make a mark.What makes these champin stand out even further is that a more adventurous child can go a step further. The lead is water based so you can add a little more liquid to make a sort of my first water colour painting. This works surprisingly well, not as good as paints, but as a simple alternative it is good. Finally, you can use them on glass and the water based nature of them means you can wipe up afterwards. This is a high quality set of pencils (I still see them as fancy crayons in wooded coats) that may be a little prices for someone whose children throw their stuff against the wall. However, if your children love arts and crafts, these pencils will be a great gift for them.

...behaves like a crayon, and you can add a bit of water to paint, too, hence the title: 'STABILO® WOODY 3 in 1'☀ BOX of 10 ~ ASSORTED COLOURSThe colours I received are:♦ LIGHT GREEN♦ DARK GREEN♦ LIGHT BLUE♦ DARK BLUE♦ RED♦ YELLOW♦ ORANGE♦ BROWN♦ BLACK♦ PEACHI am no stranger to ‘Woodys’, having had boxes all the same colour for various projects in the past, usually when they have come up on the ‘Amazon Add-On’ programme, at great discounted prices.Despite its chunkiness, a ‘Woody’ is easy to hold for most sized hands with solid colour achieved with just a little pressure from the soft 10 mm core. The product detail above gives oodles of possibilities and the video clip is short but sweet.Generally used as a blanket cover over multicoloured A5 card ahead of stencilling out,in my case, I haven’t tried these out on glass or metal.The colourful, cellophane-sealed cardboard box the ten are presented in measures around 16 cm x 15 cm x 2.25 cm, with a cut out on the front. Ready to use with stubby ‘points’, each ‘Woody’ measures around 11 cm in length. They are easy to spot once out of their box, with their alternating striped COLOUR & WOOD-COLOURED, rounded barrel, although they do tend to roll around the table if not put back in their box or a container!The

I Bought the 5 pack of these with my eldest and was instantly impressed by them, I had wanted to buy a bigger pack with more colours but hadn't wanted duplicates so when I saw Amazon were now selling these I jumped at the chance to review these. My old ones have lasted 3 years so far and are still a favourite - I just LOVE these and have recommended to all mummies I know!The colours are so vibrant and the leads so soft that even children who don't yet apply much pressure will get good mark making with these. The barrel of the pencil is really nice to grip in the youngest hands as they are so chunky. The leads have never broken despite being banged, bitten and coloured with.The pens really do wipe clean off glass and work as water soluble colours too (so just be a bit careful if your little one is still at the sucking everything phase). This is a really lovely range of colours, maybe just missing a purple but plenty for first artists to get creative with. The 5 pack I had didn't have a sharpener which was an issue as they are much wider than standard crayons - this pack has a lovely sharpener which is perfectly sized. I know they are expensive but they are so worth it! I might even be tempted to go for the 18 pack which is only around £5 more!

A friend of ours bought us a set of these "pencils" for our two year old son and we were so impressed that we went out and bought a larger rainbow of colours.These are a beautiful, chunky cross between a pencil and a crayon (the outer sheath is wooden with stripes indicating the colour of the pencil but the "lead" is very soft like a crayon).The colours are vibrant and varied and transfer very well to paper, my son has not problems at all holding and drawing with them and loves to sit down at the dining room table with me and tear a big strip of paper off the roll we have and draw trains, aeroplanes, the family, letters and birthday cakes with candles with me.They are water soluble and wipe easily off our laminated wooden coffee table too,I am quite a strict parent so we've not had a chance to test how well they come off walls, carpets or furniture yet.It is worth investing in the sharpener for the pencils (they have a large diameter than a standard pencil) which does a great job of keeping them ready to go.I would not hesitate to recommend these pencils for children, try one of the smaller packs first to make sure you agree with me but I am pretty sure you'll extend your collection after seeing how well made they are.

My six-year-old daughter has spent pretty much the whole of this week using these pencils as soon as she gets home from school. They put down a great volume of colour with ease and are great for use on sugar paper and cardboard boxes. We have had quite a bit of fun drawing on the conservatory window tracing things we can see in the garden (try it) and even her sister (who stood in the garden for tracing purposes),They work on white cartridge paper but I'd suggest keeping these pencils for heavier, coloured paper. The water-colour feature works really well either by dipping the pencils; or better still, by using a wet paint brush to blend the pencil strokes.Anything not to like?Well the sharpener is good but I'd suggest keeping it away from younger children. To get the most out of the pencils one always seems to end up with a lot of colour in unwanted places (but it's easy to clean up) and also (given they will write on pretty-much anything) I'd suggest they're put out of reach when not being used ... my daughter used her new glass-drawing skills to cover her bedroom mirror, windows and write her name on anything that her sister might covet.

...behaves like a wax crayon and you can use it to ‘paint’ to, hence the title:‘The ‘multi-talented’ STABILO® WOODY 3 in 1’♦ BOX of 5 (SAME COLOUR)♦ COLOUR : DARK GREENThe product detail above gives oodles of possibilities but I required these to apply a complete layer of solid green on top of coloured stripy cardboard, ahead of stencilling out various shapes. They are chunky and get the rather daunting job done far quicker than a regular sized crayon.The ‘Woody’ is easy to hold, despite its chunkiness, laying down a thick layer with little pressure from the 10 mm core.The quality cardboard box the five come in measures around 7.75 cm x 1.5 cm x 11.5 cm and has a cut out on the side to easily identify the colour within.Each ‘woody’ measures around 11 cm in length and are half-sealed in an easy to open, cellophane-type layer to protect the ‘point’, which is ready to use.They are easy to spot once out of their box, with their alternating striped COLOUR & WOOD-COLOURED, rounded barrel, although they do tend to roll around the table if not put back in their box or a container!18 colours available, including

Having twin 2 year old boisterous boys that have started being allowed to colour & draw at nursery, we have had to obtain drawing implements & so the chance to review something of this level ( which I wouldn't normally consider purchasing at £17 ) was much appreciated.10 very versatile coloured pencils, with the ability to draw on a multitude of surfaces such as paper, glass, ceramic & card as well as the ability to use with water for a paint effect makes their 3 in 1 claim spot on. Note that they are water soluble so accidental drawing on hard floors, tables etc makes for easy cleaning but we haven't had any wall drawing yet !Easy to hold,pick up & sharpen owing to the included special safety sharpener our boys were hands on and "drawing" as soon as they were out of the box.I have a feeling these will go on for quite a while, unlike the thin brittle pencils / cheap crayons that nursery are using - and what is more, despite the fairly high price tag they could well be replaced with more of the same.

Wonderful vibrant colours that mark the paper nice and easily even in the hand of a baby or toddler (none of this scribbling away hard just to leave a faint pastel-y line behind).The water-soluble aspect is lovely too - we've even produced some interesting artwork by rubbing babywipes across pictures (so long as you didn't use black or it's just a big grey smear).However, the water-solubility also means an almighty mess if one gets put in a mouth for even half a second. They also colour skin in alarmingly well. My toddler is currently in the bath with a yellow face, and I've just finished trying to wipe blue off the baby's teeth and tongue. This doesn't happen with regular pencils!The necessary giant sharpener is a rip-off,but maybe you can get cheaper, non-branded alternatives. I didn't look - we needed it asap as the pencils do wear down rather quickly.All-in-all a great set of pencils to have, but too pricey to be used every day if your children are big drawers.

I had never seen these before until I was offered the chance to review them and I was so glad I was as they are fantastic.My son has a few issues around motor skills and so far results using a variety of crayons and chunky chalks have produced a few mixed results. Concerned he needs to start practising holding pens/pencils these fit the bill nicely.They are indeed very chunky and easy to grip. They produce great results on paper and they have been fun with water. They are soo chunky I'm confident they will take much more abuse than a crayon and certainly look and feel like they will last a long time. They write and glass which I tried away form my son as I don't want to come home one day to find toddler art where it shouldn't be.You get a handy sharpener too.These really are superb. And despite the high price I would recommend them to friends and I would definitely buy them now I know about them.

Oh my!!! I have thrown away all my toddler's other rubbish pencils that come with activity packs, and most of her tatty hardened wax crayons too. Buy these and you can chuck out all your whiteboard markers at work too. They are simply marvellous. wash over the paper with water and watch the vibrance emerge... just gorgeous. My little one's interest in and skill at colouring increased overnight once she got some of these for a birthday gift. I am buying these for other children now as they are just wonderful. Won't break if they get flung around, and safe for babies as they're completely non toxic. Erases off glass plastic and whiteboards too. The sharpener is a bit poor but once you get the knack it does the job.They're pretty chunky, so you can't get fine detail down, but hey that's years away and you can invest in some swanky water soluble Swiss pencils when the time comes...

I came across these at an Ask Pizza restaurant, which put them out for my toddler daughter to use while waiting for a meal. I was very impressed with them and decided that I had to buy them for my daughter. The colour flows easily without the need to apply much pressure so they are a bit like a cross between a pencil and a felt-tip. They are much shorter and fatter than the usual pencil so are much easier for a toddler to hold. The colour on the page looks better than that produced by a crayon, without the mess of a felt tip pen. The colours are also lovely in that they are very bold and bright. They are also very portable, given their size. They are quite satisfying to use as an adult too.My daughter would prefer to use a felt-tip pen, if given the choice, but if not given any choice then she is happy to use these. Personally speaking, I am very impressed by them.

These crayons are fantastic - we have had our set now for about 4 years and they look hardly used, they are so hard wearing they only need an occasional sharpen. The colours are so vivid and strong - they are far better than any other crayons we have for brightness and depth. We also use them on a white board and I think they are better than dry wipe markers which dry up and run out of ink after a couple of months whereas I can't see us ever needing to replace these. They are also great with wipe clean books and are easier to clean off the pages where as the dry wipe markers left some powdery marks I could not remove, these wipe off and leave the page as good as new.I also expect they are more environmentally friendly thasn dry wipe markers, although I have no proof. I have tried to encourage my daughters school to use them in class but so far without success.
