A 36-pencil set of Faber-Castell's Classic colored pencils in a metal tin with a see-through window. The hexagon barrels resist rolling, the leads are glued the full length to cut breakage, and the cores lay down smooth color that blends without flaking. They are watercolor pencils, so a wet brush turns the color into washes. Best for kids 5 and up, adult coloring fans and beginners who want a durable starter set; against budget school pencils they cost more but hold up better to sharpening and heavy use.
