The Triangular crayons Bic Kids come in a cardboard box and are decorated in nice bright colors. First, of course, falls on the exterior, because the pins are made in the so-called triangular shape, so they are particularly good in the hand. Since they are also thick (the diameter is 1 cm), but not too long, smaller children can already keep the compact pens well and deal with it. The sheathing of the pins is not made of wood but is made of recycled resin, but can bring with any standard jumbo sharpener in the shape. Visually, the material like wood and feels like that. But the resin has the advantage that it can not splinter, which I think is great, because it is precisely when children are using the pins, here the danger risk is reduced to a minimum. The colored pencil leads are also highly resistant, and by their strength of 5 mm in diameter, they hold a lot of and survive it unscathed when they fall down times. However, the risk that they will fall off the table, anyway very low as they abide by the triangular shape where you record them and can not roll away.
The brilliant colors are easy to paint, because the thick refills are not too hard and not too soft and have a good ink transfer. Do not scratch the paper and also do not smear, and even beginners can use it to achieve a uniform and vigorous application of paint.
Finally, something to environmental and health protection. BIC crayons were tested along with 19 other Crayon products by Ökotest. You have "very good" cut off the only the grade and are free of questionable ingredients. They are also kau-resistant according to the manufacturer, and children chew already times like on a pin. All the better if this no harmful substances are released. That to me is another important reason to recommend these pins, because that one can confidently already to paint Biennial. I think they are great and I am delighted with the very good price-performance ratio.
