Pastello Staedtler 229 12 C12 pastelli a cera jumbo, confezione da 12, colori assortiti

Staedtler 229 12 C12 jumbo wax crayons pack contains 12 round, multicolour wax crayons in a thicker jumbo format designed for drawing and colouring on paper. Each crayon has a durable core with rich pigments and a paper sleeve for cleaner handling. The set is intended for preschool and school use as well as hobby and craft activities, offering easy grip and vivid coverage on various paper surfaces.

Advantages

The jumbo diameter provides a comfortable grip for small hands and reduces breakage during normal use. Bright, saturated pigments deliver good colour coverage and simple blending for basic artistic techniques. Paper sleeves protect crayons from dirt and help keep fingers clean while extending the usable life of each crayon.

Suitable for
