Djeco Gel Pastels

Djeco’s art range is outstanding. The colours are bright, the quality is high and they all inspire joy in creating. One of my favourite products in their range is the Gel Pastel. Encased in lipstick-style plastic tubes are thick, colourful pastels which make for the most stunning art due to their beautiful, bold, saturated colour. My daughter, Milla, has been using them for about a year now and I definitely think they are a toddler winner. She likes them as they are easy to use and there is the instant satisfaction of high intensity colour. One word of warning I would give is to cover clothes and make sure you are using them at the table under supervision. Washable is not one of their best qualities especially when it comes to rugs…

Available from Tickety Boo! in either pink or blue box for £8.95. Personally I don’t think one box or another is particularly ‘aimed’ at boys or girls. Both have different colours, the pink box featuring a nice Caucasian skin tone.

Age 3+

    I bought some of these as a Christmas present for my nephew and he loved them. Unlike crayons you don’t have to press hard so they’re easier for a younger toddler to use. And as you say Natalie, the colour intensity is fab so they make a lovely alternative to felt tips for little ones.

    I love these crayons but…controlled setting! In fact, I love them so much, I use them when I have time for a doodle.
    @Joanne Totally agree although it with Super Kat that wrote the post ;-)

    [...] Both of the kids (even 11 month old Nia) love drawing and I’m on a constant hunt for sturdy art materials. The most sturdy crayons we own are little pyramid crayons from Habitat that the bambino, Saria, hustled me for on a shopping trip last summer. A fiver, but they are the most resilient and seem indestructible. That’s why I like the sound of these chubby pencils – Big Pencils for Small Hands. They have a rounded triangular profile making them easier for gripping and come in a pack of 12 with an extra big sharpener. £3.95 Ikon Gallery. For sublime colour (although protect your surfaces!), look no further than Djeco’s gel pastels. [...]
