Colored pencils Staedtler Noris super jumbo 226, pack of 12

Staedtler Noris super jumbo 226 colored pencils, pack of 12, are oversized wooden pencils designed for a comfortable grip and strong colour laydown. The thick, durable cores produce broad strokes and rich pigmentation, making them suitable for preschool and early-school drawing, colouring and craft activities. Each pencil comes in a paper sleeve and is available in a selection of brilliant colours intended for large-area colouring and group use.

Advantages

The super jumbo diameter provides an ergonomic hold for small hands and reduces grip fatigue during extended use. Thick cores resist breakage under normal pressure and deliver consistent, even coverage on paper or card. The bright, highly pigmented colours require fewer strokes to fill large areas, which speeds up activity time in classroom and craft settings. The paper sleeve offers basic protection for the wooden barrel while keeping the set lightweight and easy to distribute.

How to use

Use the Staedtler Noris super jumbo pencils for freehand colouring, filling large shapes, and simple drawing exercises. Sharpen with an appropriate jumbo pencil sharpener or carefully with a knife following safety guidance for children. Apply even pressure for broad, uniform strokes and reduce pressure for lighter tones. Store pencils horizontally or in a case to avoid accidental breakage of the thick cores.

Usage recommendations

For classroom settings, provide one set per small group to encourage sharing and supervised practice. When sharpening, use a jumbo-capable sharpener to maintain the core integrity. Test colours on scrap paper before applying to final artwork to confirm colour choice and pressure needed for desired opacity.
