The thick BIG Winner colored pencils are perfect for kindergarten and special education classrooms because of their hexagonal shape. Because of its extra-thick 6mm lead, which guarantees a good grip and is extremely break-resistant, the BIG Winner is perfect for early pre-school scribbles. Large drawings are best suited for this pencil because of its rich and soft color lay down. Little ones enjoy coloring more and are more eager to learn when they can see the immediate value of their work. Both left- and right-handed kids can use it. Sharpening is simple with any good sharpener. Twelve colored pencils in a cardboard box.
