The RIO 18120 colored pencil set provides 12 vivid and intense colors designed for schoolwork, drawing, and various creative activities. These pencils feature a soft lead that glides easily across the paper, while a special bonding system helps prevent the lead from breaking during use. Crafted from wood with a hexagonal shape, the pencils are comfortable to hold and easy to sharpen. Because they are non-toxic, they are safe for children aged 3 and older to use for their artistic projects.
