Prang's reputation for giving more than expected is justified with these pencils! The laydown of the color is bright and smooth. The pigment in the semi-soft lead pencils yields gorgeous hues. These pencils are a step-up from economy pencils such as Sargent, Crayola, Rose Art, or Dollar Store brands. If you want to keep the price down and still have good-quality pencils to teach young children, these are your best value.

I love to recommend these to parents with young children who like to press a little too hard when coloring! The 6 mm core is so thick it is almost impossible to break and they seem to last forever! Older artists will love the way large areas can be quickly covered. Same soft, smooth, bright colors as the 3.3 and 4 mm pencils.
