Compass Set Maped STUDY NEON with adapter ring, metal legs, ergonomic head, for children from 6 years

The Maped STUDY NEON compass set with adapter ring is a compact drawing tool designed for children from 6 years. The set features metal legs and an ergonomic head that help small hands hold and control the compass while tracing circles and practicing basic geometry. Supplied with an adapter ring, the compass accommodates different pencil thicknesses, making it suitable for classroom and home activities that require simple, repeatable circle drawing and measurements.

Advantages

The metal legs provide stability and improved durability compared with plastic-only models, while the ergonomic head supports a comfortable grip that helps children maintain control during use. The included adapter ring adds versatility by enabling use with a range of pencil sizes, and the overall compact design makes the compass easy to store in pencil cases or school bags.

Suitable for

• Elementary school geometry exercises and circle drawing
• Home practice of basic maths and drafting skills
• Art and craft projects that require precise circular shapes
• Use by children aged 6 years and older under supervision

When it may not be suitable

This compass set is intended primarily for children and basic school tasks; it may not meet the precision or feature requirements of advanced technical drawing or professional drafting. Very young children should use the compass only with adult supervision due to the pointed tip.

Key specifications

• Material: metal legs with plastic ergonomic head
• Includes: adapter ring for varying pencil diameters
• Intended user age: from 6 years
• Primary use: circle drawing and basic geometry
• Design: compact size suitable for school pencil cases

How to use

Place a pencil into the adapter ring and secure it, then set the compass span by gently opening or closing the metal legs to the desired radius. Position the pointed leg on the drawing surface as the pivot and rotate the compass smoothly to trace a circle. For safety, store the compass with the tip covered or in a pencil case when not in use and supervise younger children during activities.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pencil diameters you plan to use to ensure compatibility with the adapter ring
• Consider whether the compass precision is sufficient for your planned activities (schoolwork vs. technical drawing)
• Check that the compact size fits your child’s pencil case or storage needs

Usage recommendations

For consistent circles, keep the pivot point steady and rotate the compass with an even, controlled motion. Use a sharpened pencil for clearer lines and check the adapter ring fit before drawing to avoid slips. Store the compass safely and supervise children while using the pointed tip.
