StabiloWOODY PNCL 18 COLOR SET

ces CC ne sont pas que pour les enfants! les amateurs de dessin, d'aquarelle, de scrap ou d'art journal trouveront leur bonheur avec eux.C'est mon cas, je viens juste de les essayer et je suis conquise, ils complètement superbement les CC aquarellables. Ils sont gras, mais pas trop (moins que les Neocolor II par exemple), larges - pour la colorisation de grandes surfaces c'est pratique- miscibles entre eux ou avec d'autres CC aquarellables...Il faut prendre le taille crayon qui est en option c'est mieux.Comme je suis immobilisée pour un moment, je sens que je vais bien m'amuser avec mon bloc aquarelle. Il faut prévoir du papier aquarelle, pour le grand mouillé, ou un carnet à aquarelle type Moleskine pour les croquis (en effet le papier bois le pigment, c'est pas le meilleur) ou au moins du bristol ça marche aussi (mais alors il faut juste humidifier la couleur, sinon ça gondole).Je les conseille pour tous les illustrateurs! Stabilo fabrique vraiment de bons produits.J'ai fait le dessin avec des Woody et des Mondeluz de Koh I Noor, dans un bloc aquarelle Moleskine; je pense qu'on obtiendrait de bien meilleurs effets sur du papier aquarelle 300 gr satiné (pressé à chaud) mais ce n'est qu'un croquis.NB : livraison Amazon Prime toujours au top! ;)

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 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.

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...

My two year olds showed little interest in drawing with wax crayons or coloured pencils that were too hard to show any mark. Then I bought these and they were hooked on drawing.They are a cross between creamy wax crayons and pencils. They are also like water colours and after you have drawn a picture you can use a damp kitchen roll or wet paint brush to blend the colours. They need to be sharpened with a large pencil sharpener. They wear down a bit quicker than normal pencils because they are softer but that is what makes them so satsifying to draw with. They make an intense colour and because they are so chunky a large area can be coloured in quickly.Definitely the best drawing media I have ever used.
