Moulin Roty, Les Rosalies 50 Pastel Colouring Pencils in Tin Box

Fifty colours is a lot of choosing, and a child who has just opened the lid will want to try every one before drawing a single flower. This Les Rosalies tin holds 50 poplar-wood pencils in soft pastel tones, measures 21 x 14.7 x 1.6 cm, and is suitable from 3 years.

So there is a guide tucked inside for trying each shade first, which turns the first afternoon into a careful, happy survey. The tin is the work of Cécile Blindermann, who imagined the Rosalies themselves: rag dolls with powdered cheeks and sparkly dance slippers. A child who already loves Marjolaine or Vanille will be colouring from the same gentle world.
