## Long description

Astra triangular JUMBO colored pencil set AF178AST contains 18 color pencils and an included sharpener. The pencils have a triangular barrel profile that improves grip and reduces rolling, while their larger cores deliver vivid, broad strokes suitable for bold coloring, sketching and filling larger areas. The set is designed for children and hobby use, supporting school assignments, creative projects and leisure coloring with comfortable handling and straightforward sharpening.
Advantages
The triangular shape of each pencil enhances grip and hand positioning, making the set easier to hold for extended periods and for younger users developing fine motor skills. The jumbo core provides stronger pigment laydown and smoother coverage compared with standard cores, allowing efficient filling of coloring book pages and faster application on larger surfaces. An integrated sharpener tailored to the pencil diameter ensures quick, consistent points without excessive waste.
Suitable for

Key specifications

Barrel shape: triangular for improved grip
Core type: jumbo/larger-diameter pigment core for bold strokes
Includes: manual sharpener matched to pencil diameter

How to use
Select a colour and, if necessary, use the supplied sharpener to create a clean point. Hold the triangular barrel between fingers in a natural tripod position for better control. Apply even pressure for uniform colour coverage or vary pressure to achieve lighter or darker tones. For blending, layer colours gradually and use cross-hatching or circular motions to smooth transitions. After finishing, cap the visible core with a gentle rub to remove loose fragments before storing.
Usage recommendations
For best results with the Astra triangular jumbo pencils, keep tips moderately sharp to balance fine detail and broad coverage. Use heavier pressure only for saturated colour; frequent sharpening preserves the jumbo core shape. Store pencils horizontally to prevent breakage and keep the sharpener clean to maintain consistent sharpening performance.
