Carioca Plus 4.0 — 18 pcs colour pencils feature 4.0 mm colour cores and a palette of 18 distinct shades. The pencils are intended for drawing, colouring and school projects, with cores engineered to deliver consistent colour laydown and withstand regular sharpening. The set is suitable for children, students and hobby artists seeking reliable, easy-to-use colouring tools.

Advantages

The 4.0 mm cores provide stronger colour coverage compared with thinner leads, reducing the number of passes needed to achieve solid tones. Cores are designed for improved break resistance during normal use and sharpening. The wooden barrels allow comfortable grip for extended colouring sessions and the 18-colour selection covers primary, secondary and common shading needs for basic artwork and school tasks.

How to use

Select the desired colour and apply the pencil to paper with light to medium pressure for even coverage. For stronger saturation, layer multiple strokes or increase pressure gradually. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for coloured pencils to maintain the 4.0 mm core profile while minimising breakage. When blending is required, use gentle overlapping strokes or a blending tool appropriate for wax-based pencils.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to protect cores from impact. Use heavier paper for dense colouring and layering to prevent warping. Supervise young children during use and keep sharpening tools out of reach.
