Imagine my delight when I received some pencil crayons in the mail. :) YES!! What fun eh? I get to indulge my colouring delight with some new pencils...fun indeed!
The first time I used these pencils I was waiting for my son at karate. I was joined by a young girl, asking if she could colour with me. I told her sure, I'd be happy to have her help me with this review. This led to a conversation about what a review was and how she was helping me. She's a sweet young lass that I often talk with while we wait.
This little six year old girl said:
"I like these pencils, they make nice colours".
"The colour is so pretty, I like how the brown ones look nice together."
"Do you like how I did this?"
"Can I keep helping you colour?"
"These pencils are nice, look mom, see my picture?"
Bright Ideas has put together a box of
10 metallic coloured pencils. They are a nice fit in the hand and colour nicely. They work equally well for a six year old as they do for a more mature person. :)
I found they went on the page smoothly and filled in the coloured area nicely. They blend well. I've done a couple of pages with them and haven't needed to sharpen them.
They come in a nice sturdy box which holds up well to children opening and shutting it repeatedly. I found them to be softly metallic, with a slight sheen.They are a lovely addition to the other coloured pencils that I have and I am delighted to have them. :)

Lovely how coloring brings folks together. I always find that pull of kids to coloring so fun. And the pencils are nice looking. I don't think I've ever seen metallic colored pencils. - Lori
