FAQs

Are these pencils suitable for young children?

Yes, the ergonomic hexagon design and increased break resistance make them excellent for school-age children.

Can these be used for watercolor techniques?

No, these are standard wax-based colored pencils and are not water-soluble.

What is the best way to sharpen them?

A standard manual or electric pencil sharpener works perfectly well for this pencil type.

Are these pencils toxic?

Staedtler adheres to international safety standards, making these pencils safe for general use in school and home settings.

Do these pencils work well on textured paper?

Yes, they perform well on various paper textures, though smoother paper will provide more vibrant, solid color fills.

Troubleshooting

Lead keeps breaking during sharpening

Ensure the sharpener blade is sharp and avoid pressing too hard while rotating the pencil.

Color appears light or faded

Apply slightly more pressure or layer the color multiple times using a cross-hatch technique.

Pencil rolls off the table constantly

The hexagonal shape helps prevent rolling, but if it persists, keep them stored in a tray or case when not in immediate use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior lead break resistance for long-term durability
  • Ergonomic design promotes a comfortable grip for all ages
  • Bold, vibrant pigmentation suitable for various art projects
  • Sturdy construction ideal for classroom and school environments

Cons

  • Requires frequent sharpening for optimal precision
  • Set is limited to 12 colors, which may restrict advanced shading techniques
  • Wax-based formula can produce waxy buildup if layered too heavily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pencils require no specialized setup—they are ready for immediate use out of the box. For optimal performance, ensure you are using a high-quality pencil sharpener to maintain a sharp point without chipping the lead. When not in use, store the pencils in their original box or a pencil case to protect the tips. Keep the pencils away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, as the wax-based core can soften and become prone to breakage if exposed to high temperatures for extended periods.
