I love these pencils! I bought them for my 5 year old, because I realised that most packs of pencils for kids simply don't give many/any options that look like realistic skin colours. First of all, I love the colour options! The other thing that made a huge difference was the quality of the pencils... You can actually colour in and not have really gappy, unevenly coloured skin on the person you drew, where you have to go over it a million times just to achieve what is still very uneven and pretty gappy coloured skin.
I like these pencils so much that I'll be buying Lyra colour giants sets to be presents for some other kids we know. I'm also going to buy the more advanced set of colouring pencils for myself to colour in pretty pictures... I guess I'll share with my son, haha.
Thank you, Oskar's Wooden Ark, for stocking these!
