What is important for colored pencils

Don't just pay attention to colorfulness

Colored pencils are a basic toy in every child's room.
Little artists can use them to draw pictures and let their creativity run wild.
They start to discover colored pencils at an early age and embellish both themselves and their surroundings.

While children are thrilled by bright colors, adults should also be interested in the fact that the colored pencils are free of harmful substances and therefore harmless.
Our colored pencils for small children, which you can distribute as promotional gifts, are not only TÜV-tested, but also comply with the statutory toy regulations.

 

Jumbo colored pencil sets

Jumbo colored pencils fit better in children's hands

› Jumbo pencils have the advantage that small children can grab them better and therefore they are much easier to handle than thin pencils.
Small notches also provide a better grip , as do triangular or polygonal colored pencils.
These are not only easier to use, but also support the child's ergonomics as they automatically ensure the correct posture.

 

European Union guidelines for toys

Colored pencils are subject to toy standards

As children have a higher metabolism, toxic heavy metals and pollutants enter their bloodstream more quickly.
These can have dangerous effects on children's health (tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite).


This is why › colored pencils are subject to the European Union's toy guidelines. This includes the following points, among others::

• The level of harmful substances (limit values for heavy metals, banned plasticizers, azo dyes, organic chemical compounds, nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances)

• The attachment of warning labels

• Identification of the manufacturer and importer

Responsible manufacturers use, for example, special food colors for their pens that comply with DIN EN 71/III - Toy Regulation.
A reliable sign of compliance with the directives is the CE marking, which German manufacturers are obliged to carry.

 

Wooden writing instruments

Wood instead of plastic – nature instead of lacquering

The problem with lacquered plastic colored pencils for small children is the plasticizers usually contained in the layers of lacquer. Even if these are regulated by law, it is better to use wooden crayons, as children have a habit of putting their toys in their mouths. With our promotional gifts made of natural wood, there is no risk of harmful substances such as toxic paints, solvents or heavy metals entering the child's body.

 

Observe seals of approval and certifications

Buy promotional gifts with a good feeling

A sure sign of the good quality of colored pencils for toddlers are the generally valid quality seals.
These include

- GS mark (state-tested safety)

- TÜV Rheinland

If toys carry these seals of approval, they have not only been tested for harmful substances, but also for compatibility.
The FSC certificate is also decisive for colored pencils made of wood, as it stands for sustainability and environmental awareness.
Awards from Stiftung Warentest or Ökotest also provide information on whether crayons are suitable for small children.

At Reidinger, the colored pencils for children that we offer you as promotional gifts are regularly tested for harmful substances by TÜV.
We are happy to pay for this assurance for the health of children. The crayons also meet the high requirements of the toy regulation DIN EN 71 - Part 1 to 3.
So you can hand out our colored pencils to your customers with a good feeling!
