Lyra Ferby (4.72”) Unlacquered Colored Pencils, Box , 12- Piece, Assorted
LYRA FERBY COLORED PENCILS – 12 COUNT, UNLACQURED
Lyra Ferby Colored Pencils are shorter than Super Ferby and along with their triangular barrel, are better suited for small hands. Ferby pencils measure about 4.72″. Their thick, break resistant leads, last much longer than your standard pencil. This 12-count box of Ferbies have an unlacquered, natural surface. The colors are beautiful and they lay down on paper silky smooth.
WHY A TRIANGULAR BARREL?
The rounded triangular barrel of these colored pencils encourages a proper tripod grip of the pincer muscles making them perfect for young children who haven’t quite mastered the correct grip for holding a pencil. A triangular shape is also more comfortable to hold than a round colored pencil and can reduce hand fatigue, letting children draw longer. A plus is it won’t roll off the table!
They make a wonderful first colored pencil for little ones.

NOT A BEGINNER?
Triangular shaped pencils can be used by any age. They can also be easier to use than thinner round barrels for older adults who are having difficulty with hand pain, stiffness, or just a reduction in writing ability due to aging issues or reduction of sensation in the fingers. We also sell Color Giants as a rounded hexagonal shape which can serve a similar purpose for those who have mastered a tripod grip. As teachers, we do not recommend Color Giants for young children who have not mastered the tripod grip, yet.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THEM
Lyra colored pencils have a sturdy, highly pigmented, thick, break-resistant lead.
