The FABER-CASTELL colored pencils have a break-resistant lead thanks to a special bonding process, making the colored pencils suitable for children. The ergonomic triangular shape ensures fatigue-free coloring, and the soft-grip zone provides a secure and non-slip grip. The pencils are water-soluble and thus also suitable for watercolor painting. If clothing accidentally gets a bit of color on it, the colors can be easily washed out.
