Magical Creatures 12 Biggie Color Pencils

The metallic striped ones are my favorite — they leave this shimmery finish that regular pencils just can't do. The barrel is nice and thick, so my hands don't cramp up during longer coloring sessions. The little sharpener that came with the set is a handy bonus too.

My kid’s art box finally has pencils that are fun to hold—the chunky barrels are perfect for small hands, and the metallic stripes actually shimmer on paper. The six fluorescents pop so vividly that the drawings practically glow, and the included sharpener saved us from a hunt around the house.

The fluorescent orange is so bright it practically glows on dark paper, and the chunky barrel is easy for my preschooler to grip. The built-in sharpener in the lid means we never lose it, which is a huge win.
