Waldorf Grade 5

The balanced blend of moist and dry components form the basis for the leads in STOCKMAR coloured pencils.  Thanks to a precisely balanced amount of high-quality micro-crystalline wax, every colour has its own unique depth and light.  The colours have been carefully selected and are perfectly coordinated.

These STOCKMAR coloured pencils are available in 24 vibrant colours.  They come in triangular and hexagonal forms.  The soft and extra-strong lead boasts excellent sharpening and break-proof properties, and rests stably in the untreated, FSC^®-certified limewood barrel.  

STOCKMAR coloured pencils have a soft but intense, quality color which is dust-free and particularly break-resistant.  A special characteristic is their transparency and glaze.  Applying the glazing technique (layering) will allow children to create especially striking effects and give their pictures depth.

Stockmar coloured pencils meet highest standards in terms of colour selection, materials and processing. They are produced by using the most modern requirements of health safety, environmental friendliness and sustainability in production.

Stockmar coloured pencils are distinguished by exceptionally luminous colours with a high proportion of pigment, a unique colour coordination system and a soft and powerful application of colour.

This assortment includes superior quality luminous colours based on the extended Goethe Colour Circle. When used together they blend beautifully.

Each pencil has an extra thick lead (6.25mm diameter) in an easy-to-hold triangular shaped pencil (10mm diameter)

In Steiner education the triangular grip pencil introduces the pencil grip to the child. It encourages holding the pencil in a relaxed and correct manner. This is important at the stage they begin to formally learn to write. Its thick rounded triangular shaft is designed to help the child develop the perfect pencil grip.

In summary the exploration and introduction of writing and drawing to the child follows the developmental readiness of the child:

First the Stockmar Block Crayons are used to explore colour and form on paper

Next the Stockmar Stick Crayons are introduced to add more direction to the form

Followed by the Triangular Pencil when the child begins to learn to write with its thick rounded triangular shaft designed to develop the perfect pencil grip

Then the Hexagonal Pencil which is an artist quality pencil suitable for children and adults

And finally the Fountain Pen for the speed and pure flow of clear precise writing skills.
