Colored Pencils Maped Dreikant-Buntstift NEON 12-piece, wooden, break-resistant, 2.9 mm lead

Maped Dreikant-Buntstift NEON 12-piece is a set of wooden colored pencils designed with a triangular shaft and 2.9 mm break-resistant lead. The neon colour range provides vivid tones for drawing, highlighting and school projects. Supplied in a compact cardboard case, these pencils offer consistent colour laydown and improved control suitable for both children and adults.

Advantages

The triangular shaft supports an ergonomic grip that helps reduce hand fatigue and encourages proper pencil hold. The thicker 2.9 mm lead is formulated to be break-resistant, delivering reliable performance during drawing and colouring. Neon pigments produce clear, bright tones that stand out on paper and are useful for emphasising details or creating vibrant artwork. The cardboard case keeps the pencils organised and portable.

Suitable for

• School activities and classroom colouring tasks
• Drawing and sketching with bright neon effects
• Highlighting details in posters, presentations and craft projects
• Children and adults learning or practising ergonomic pencil grip

When it may not be suitable

These pencils are intended for standard paper and craft surfaces; they are not formulated for professional fine art techniques that require lightfast pigments or blending properties of professional-grade coloured pencils. Users seeking very fine detail beyond the capacity of a 2.9 mm core or long-term archival colour permanence may prefer specialist artist materials.

Key specifications

• Set size: 12 coloured pencils
• Shaft material: wood
• Shaft shape: triangular (ergonomic)
• Lead thickness: 2.9 mm
• Lead type: break-resistant coloured core
• Finish: neon colour range
• Packaging: cardboard case

How to use

Select the neon colour needed and sharpen carefully with a standard pencil sharpener designed for thicker cores to avoid breakage. Hold the triangular shaft between the fingers for ergonomic support and apply even pressure for consistent colour laydown. Use light layers for highlights and increase pressure gradually for more saturated colour. Store the pencils in the cardboard case when not in use to protect the cores and keep the set organised.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: suitable for school, craft and everyday drawing rather than professional archival artwork
• Preferred core thickness: 2.9 mm provides durability and broader strokes, not ultra-fine detail
• Grip preference: triangular shaft is designed for ergonomic hold
• Neon colours: vivid tones may appear different on coated or dark papers

Usage recommendations

For best results, sharpen with a sharpener compatible with thicker leads, layer colours gently to build intensity, and keep the set in the supplied cardboard case to prevent damage. Use the triangular grip to support correct hand position during prolonged colouring sessions.
