What about colored pencils? What is their history? The history of colored pencils is not fully understood. However, it is certainly known that they began to be produced in the early 20th century. And if you ask us which colored pencil manufacturer can be recommended today as reliable and proven, we will confidently say - Kite, of course!
And here's why.
Kite pencils are happily used for drawing and coloring by both very young children and older children. Because the lead is soft, leaves a colorful mark, does not crumble, and does not scratch paper. Just press lightly, draw a line, and the rainbow will be even brighter than in the sky!
Environmentally friendly material - wood (linden) - is used as the base of the pencil. It is easy to sharpen and pleasant to the touch. The pencils are covered with a water-based varnish that preserves the bright color of the body, prevents drying out and the appearance of cracks.
Sets of Kite colored pencils are a dream not only for a child but also for any creative person. By the way, an interesting fact: with the advent of coloring books and coloring journals for adults, sales of colored pencils have tripled. And this is not surprising. After all, drawing is an excellent anti-stress activity. So draw and color with your children using Kite colored pencils.
Now, about the types they come in:
1. Watercolor
The most "magical" among all pencils. Because they combine the properties of watercolor paint and a colored pencil. The technique is simple - just draw a picture with pencils, then blend with a wet brush, and the drawing takes on the appearance of watercolor painting with soft halftones. The pencils draw softly, even with light pressure, resulting in a bright picture. Sets of 12, 24, and 36 colors invite you into an exciting world of creativity. And by the way, a brush is included in the set.
2. Colored pencils in various series, licenses, and sets
The first thing a child pays attention to is the packaging. For us, parents, the quality of the pencil is important, but for the child, the favorite character smiling at them from the pencil box or an inspiring storyline is more important.
- The "Animals" and "Cities" series are available in sets from 6 to 24 colors and will appeal to young travelers and animal lovers.
- The "Geometry" series, with its more restrained design in 6 and 12/24 colors, will appeal to older children. We will talk about double-sided pencils in more detail.
- The original Jolliers license with cheerful monsters on the box will appeal to both girls and boys. Sets from 6 to 24 colors.
- My Little Pony and Hello Kitty licenses will become true friends for girls. Optimal sets in 12 and 12/24 colors.
- And Transformers and Hot Wheels will appeal to boys. Also available in 12-color and double-sided 12/24 options.
3. Hexagonal and triangular
The hexagonal shape is considered classic. And there are a huge number of such pencils in Kite's assortment. But it was noted that it is more difficult for small children to hold such a pencil. Such pencils often roll off the table, fall, and the lead breaks. Therefore, for children who are just beginning to learn about fine art, soft pencils with a triangular body are best.
4. Double-sided
Will appeal to creative children who do not limit themselves in imagination and want to use the color palette to the maximum. The package contains 12 double-sided pencils. They take up little space but provide twice as many shades to choose from. The palette is harmonious and saves space in the pencil case and in the child's backpack.
5. In a metal pencil case
Sets of 12 colors in a triangular body and in a metal pencil case are an excellent gift option. Pencils are convenient to store, transport, and take to school or art classes. Hello Kitty, Transformers, Hot Wheels, or "Cities" are ready to become a gift for any holiday or a surprise for every child.
They say that drawing is music for the eyes. Rest assured, with Kite colored pencils, this music will be very melodic!
