Easi-Grip Watercolour Pencils Pack of 12

The Easi‑Grip Watercolour Pencils Pack of 12 are a versatile and exciting art tool designed especially for young artists. Featuring an extra‑chunky 1.5 cm diameter wooden barrel, these jumbo pencils are easy for small hands to grip, making them ideal for early learners and developing artists.

This dual‑use design makes them a fun and engaging alternative to standard coloured pencils and traditional watercolour paint. Jumbo plastic sharpener is included. Set of 12 colours. Each pencil is 1.5cm in diameter and 12cm long. Ages 3yrs+.
