I think so many young children are given coloring books to help pass the time or as methods to help stimulate their minds. As parents, and I've been guilty of this in the past myself, money is obviously important and so the five free colored pencils that come with the coloring book, will be enough. However, when the young inquisitive mind tries to use the pencils in the book, very little to no color actual leaves the pencil and so the child digs deeper and scribbles with all their might in an attempt to squeeze the last bit of pigment from the pencil, but to no avail. It is at this time that the child stops and going forward in their life,associates art as a chore, an unexciting experience. For a little bit of extra money, that horrible experience could have been avoided and an entirely different world of opportunity opened.

They are coated in their respected color and labeled with a white stamp that displays the brand name. They come in a patented Staedtler stand-up box that, while not as aesthetically pleasing as, say, a wooden box, does a good job of protecting the pencil and is also quite handy for moving around the various offerings. Many of the adult coloring book artists use artist grade colored pencils, however, before jumping into that huge pool, the Staedtler Ergosoft is a wonderful place to start and this is why. Staedtler Ergosoft Performance. Coloured pencils typically last for at least two to five years, if used sparingly or not at all. Store them carefully in cool, dark place and they may last much longer. Conversely, the more that coloured pencils are exposed to heat or sunlight, the faster they will absorb moisture and dry out.
