Our Review: The generous folks over at Faber-Castell sent us their 24 MAX Colored EcoPencils and their Doodling Pad to review for all of you. The Max Colored EcoPencils have 33% thicker lead than regular colored pencils and the leads are 20% more break resistant than the standard pencil. They are eco-friendly because they are made from reforested wood which preserves our natural forests. The Doodling Pad is perfect for doodling with colored pencils or markers and has 30 assorted color sheets. The doodling paper is made from 50% post-consumer recycled materials which makes it an eco-friendly product too! Each sheet in the doodling pad is double sided in color so you get a lot of use out of this one doodle pad.
I like to keep a variety of arts & crafts supplies here at my home as we always have a lot of kids in the family coming over to visit us and we have a little grand daughter who comes over every couple of days. Anyway, my 12 year old nephew was over to visit a few weeks ago and I told him I needed some new refrigerator art and asked him to draw me a picture. I asked him to draw our backyard so he sat for about 30 minutes and drew me an apple tree, grass and a blazing hot sun. The entire time he was drawing none of the pencil leads broke and none of the pencils needed sharpened. As I personally looked at the pencils I really like the long length of them and I liked the beautiful muted shades that they colored in. The set includes various yellows, oranges, blues, browns, greens, black and even a silver pencil! The Doodling Pad has pink, yellow, green, blue, off-white and orange colored papers in it. Overall, this is a really nice set and he really enjoyed creating me and his mother some new refrigerator art!
