Prang Colored Pencils 5.5 mm Core

My wish is that Prang or Dick Blick would bring back a 24 count selection of these fantastic pencils. They do not break, last for years with elementary and lay down bold, solid color like a color stick.

Please bring back a larger selection of colors!

I have a Montessori preschool and we use colored pencils a lot in the classroom. I prefer the larger size because they break less often and are easier for the children to sharpen. This set is really nice and far less expensive than other brands that perform equally well. The colors are saturated and blend beautifully. The kids love the fact that there are gold and silver included but personally, I would choose other, more useful colors. I will order these again.

I would advise any k-12 art teacher to give larger core pencils a try. I began using these with my art classes when Prang discontinued their 6mm core. These appear to be the only brand available in this large size. I liked the 6mm core but the non-rolling shape is an acceptable trade-off. We use colored pencils as our primary method of adding color to drawings. One of these lasts four or more times as long as standard size pencils. They stay usable longer after sharpening and break less due to the thicker core. Like all teachers, I wish I could buy basic colors individually.

I purchased these pencils for a special art class for mental health clients. The results were amazing. I also use them with my grandchildren, ages 2 and 5, and they are the sturdiest colored pencils I have ever used. The colors are also wonderful.
