Colored double-ended pencil set Astra Jumbo — 12 pieces

Astra Jumbo colored double-ended pencil set — 12 pieces is a compact kit of thick, two-color pencils designed for drawing, coloring and sketching. Each wooden pencil contains two pigment cores in different colors, giving a total of 24 color options from a 12-pencil set. The jumbo diameter of the barrel provides a comfortable grip for children and adults who prefer a thicker pencil profile, making it suitable for school classes, hobby projects and general art activities.

Advantages

The double-ended design doubles the available colors without increasing the number of pencils, saving space and simplifying color selection. Pigment cores are formulated for consistent color laydown and smooth blending on paper. A robust wooden barrel and larger core diameter improve break resistance and make sharpening easier. The compact 12-piece format is convenient to store in pencil cases, folders or small art kits.

How to use

Select the desired color end and sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for thick or jumbo pencils. Apply light to moderate pressure for even colour coverage and use cross-hatching or layering to achieve gradients and shading. To switch colors, rotate the pencil to the opposite end; avoid excessive pressure or tapping to reduce the risk of core breakage. Store the set in a dry place and keep caps or a pencil case handy to protect the cores when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on standard drawing and sketching paper, use smooth, steady strokes and build color intensity gradually. When working with children, supervise sharpening and encourage short sessions to reduce hand fatigue. To extend the life of the cores, sharpen gently and avoid dropping the pencils on hard surfaces.
