Crayons & Colour Pencils

Crayons and colour pencils are classroom staples, used daily from nursery through primary for colouring, early handwriting practice and creative work. OfficeLand stocks both so you can match the tool to the age and the task. Wax crayons are forgiving and ideal for little hands, laying down bold colour with light pressure and tolerating the drops and tugs of a shared art table, while colour pencils give older pupils finer control for detailed drawing, shading and map work. When buying for a school, prioritise non-toxic formulations, a point worth confirming on any order destined for early-years classes, and look for pencils with well-bonded leads that resist snapping when sharpened, since breakage is the fastest way through a term's supply. Barrel shape counts too: triangular or hexagonal pencils resist rolling off desks and encourage a correct grip in younger writers. For bulk and beginning-of-term orders, estimate generously, because colour pencils and crayons are consumed and lost faster than almost any other item on a requirements list. We carry Faber-Castell colour pencils, known for smooth, strongly pigmented leads, alongside other reliable options to suit different budgets.
