I just wanted to say how happy we are with these new pencils - they are a perfect step away from wax crayons for our 2 year old. They are very thick with soft, intense colour which is a sort of cross between a wax crayon and a pencil and is also watercolourable. They write on anything almost, and make such beautiful vivid artwork. I bought a box of 10 for Ł10, so they are not cheap and I did hesitate for a long while over the purchase, but having done so I would replace them again when they are all used up.

Lucy,

Are these the ones .... Stabilo Woody a set of 18 of $55 but they do look nice (maybe Santa can bring them?) ...

Does anyone know how they compare to Lyra's Aquacolor (which are less expensive)?

Yes Mary. I can't think in dollars - so that looks really expensive. I thought they were well worth the price I paid and they are just delicious to use.

Lucy, at the current conversion rate, that would be 10 pencils for about $15.00. I think the price in the States is a bit more. Where are the pencils made?

I'm not sure, Carole....the box is long gone. I think stabilo is a german brand, but I'm not sure.

They sell this brand at Dick Blick. Might be less expensive to get it from there.
