Review on Bringsine Non-toxic Colored Pencils for Kids & Adults - Assorted 48 Colored Pencils with Pencil Case for Drawing and Coloring, Ideal for Artists, Sketching, and Secret Garden Coloring Book (Not Included) by Shantel Griffin

The first thing that strikes you when you open the package is the smell. It definitely smells like a factory. But I'm sure it won't last long and it's washable too. I wouldn't throw it in the washing machine though. I would recommend hand washing as some of the fabrics may not hold up well to machine washing. And definitely not suitable for tumble drying. But apart from the smell, I think it's great. We are a family of artists, each with their own passion, and my eldest daughter traditionally draws sketches. So this year I'm going to buy her art supplies for Christmas. I've bought some great crayons and now I have this one to pocket. She will be in heaven with all these things I give her! As you can see from the pictures, it is well organized to hold most pens without taking up much desk space. And it folds up nicely and compactly to fit in a backpack or purse. I drew my ugly leg in the picture to give you an idea of the size :P Please! lol Anyway, I would definitely recommend this to all artistic types. It's great except for the factory smell. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. legal stuff.
