Stockmar Triangular Coloured Pencils have been thoughtfully designed to support children as they move from early artistic exploration towards more controlled drawing and writing. Combining exceptional colour quality with an ergonomic triangular shape, these pencils encourage confident mark-making while helping children develop a comfortable and natural pencil grip.

This set of 12 vibrant coloured pencils, plus an additional pencil, offers a carefully selected palette inspired by the extended Goethe Colour Circle. The harmonious range of colours has been designed to work beautifully together, allowing children to experiment with blending, layering and creating new shades as their artistic skills develop.

Each pencil contains an extra-thick 6.25mm lead with a high proportion of pigment, producing rich, luminous colours that glide smoothly across the page. The strong yet soft application makes these pencils enjoyable to use for both detailed illustrations and expressive artwork, encouraging children to explore colour, form and creativity with confidence.

The rounded triangular shape of the pencil shaft has been specially developed for small hands. Unlike a traditional round pencil, the three-sided design naturally guides the fingers into a relaxed and comfortable position, supporting the development of a healthy pencil grip. This makes Stockmar Triangular Coloured Pencils particularly valuable during the stage when children are beginning to develop greater control over their drawing and are preparing for more formal handwriting.

Made from untreated lime wood sourced from sustainable forestry and FSC-certified timber, each pencil reflects Stockmar's commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship and responsible production. The natural wood surface feels warm and comfortable in the hand, while the high-quality construction ensures these pencils are durable enough for everyday creative use.

Easy to sharpen using any large-hole pencil sharpener, these pencils are designed to become a trusted companion throughout a child's creative journey. They provide the perfect next step after exploring colour with Stockmar Wax Blocks and Wax Crayons, offering greater precision while still preserving the joy and freedom of artistic expression.

Whether used at home, in a classroom, during home education or within Waldorf-inspired learning environments, Stockmar Triangular Coloured Pencils provide children with a beautifully made tool that supports creativity, fine motor development and a lifelong appreciation of colour.
