Uk mums, where are we getting colouring pencils with strong pigment?
I have a bunch of colouring pencils from various shops, you have to press very hard to get the colour to show with any vibrancy. My child is just over 2 so doesn’t press hard most of the time. Where in the UK can I buy pencils that have decent pigmentation in but at the same time not spending a fortune.
I swear when I was growing up the pencils were so vibrant (or maybe my parents just bought decent ones?)
I know this isn’t a great concern. But I feel that if he didn’t have to work so hard at making the colours appear he would stick at the colouring better.
I’ve tried wax crayons (which are better) but he chews the nibs off them so I’ve hidden them for now. And I’d prefer not to use felt tips until he can decidedly stay on the paper/colouring book.
Thank you kindly. X
