      YOUR FAVORITE SUPPLIES

      Have you ever used an art material and been in love with how it performs, how it looks, how it feels? Lyra colored pencils are one of those materials and are beloved by children and adults. 

      WHAT ARE LYRA COLORED PENCILS LIKE

      Lyra Colored Pencils are made by a German company and are a high-quality, richly pigmented, colored pencil with a large ergonomic shape for a comfortable grip.
      The big 6.25 mm core is break resistant and lasts much longer than standard colored pencils. Lyra colored pencils also require less frequent sharpening, blend beautifully, are comfortable to hold, reduce hand-fatigue and glide onto the paper with a creamy, smooth feeling. 

      ARE YOU A WALDORFISH STUDENT?

      The Waldorfish Geometry instructor recommends thicker barreled color pencils like Lyra for her Geometry course. The thicker leads and barrels are break resistant and last longer between sharpening, as well as blend nicely. You’ll spend a lot of time in geometry using color pencils. She recommends at least an 18 or 24-count. 

      TRIANGULAR OR HEXAGONAL

      Lyra thick colored pencils come in two shapes, triangular or hexagonal, that have both been rounded smooth. Both shapes reduce the chance of this pencil rolling off the table,  reduce hand fatigue and make it easier to hold onto. And though any person age three-years-old and older can use either shape of Lyra pencil, the triangular barrel has benefits for the youngest children that the hexagonal one does not.

      BENEFITS OF A TRIANGULAR BARREL FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

      While the thickness of the pencils and both shapes help reduce hand fatigue and make it easier to hold for all ages, the triangular barrel encourages what is called a tripod grip. This grip is important in fine motor development of the hand muscles known as the pincer or tripod muscles.
      The tripod muscles enable us to hold and use a writing instrument correctly, not to mention many other tools and hand actions. This position is not always natural to us, but is taught through modeling and with writing (or coloring) instruction and practice. Once the tripod grip is mastered, it comes down to personal preference. 

      BENEFITS FOR ADULTS

      Worth mentioning is that these thicker barreled pencils also make it easier for adults to hold and use a colored pencil, especially if one is losing sensitivity in the fingers or has a lot of joint pain in the hands. 

      LACQUERED OR UNLACQUERED

      This is pure preference. Do you prefer natural wood, which has been smoothed down to a silky feel, or do you prefer painted wood, which is a glossy smooth?
      The painted pencils match the lead colors.
      The natural wood, depending upon the color and style of color pencils, may have lettering on the barrels that match the lead colors, and of course the large leads also show off the colors for both unlacquered and lacquered pencils.

      METAL TIN OR WOODEN BOX

      Metal tins are less bulky and lighter than a wooden box. The disadvantages are the ‘hinges’ can become bent if dropped causing the lid to squeak or become difficult to close (though they can often be adjusted again with a pair of pliers or even strong fingers). 
      A wooden box with a sliding lid is durable and the lid slides back and forth in a groove. The wood is light weight. The disadvantages are it’s more bulky to carry around, like in a backpack, for example. 

      SAFETY

      Lyra Colored Pencils are made from wood harvested from a sustainably managed forest with PEFC certification. They’re Art + Creative Materials Institute Certified (ACMI) + AP certified as nontoxic. They‘re also CE marked and so conform to European standards for health, safety and environmental protection. Lyra color pencils are spiel gut approved. 

      WHAT DO I GET

      This listing is for 18 count Lyra Colored Pencils in a Tin or Wooden Box and you can choose either Super Ferby (triangular barrel) or Color Giant (hexagonal barrel), as well as either Lacquered or Unlacquered. 

      WHY WE LOVE THEM

      These color pencils are an investment, but wow are they worth it! In addition to all the above features, they have outlasted my old regular color pencils for sure thanks to the thickness. They sharpen easily and the sharpener doesn’t have to take off much to do that.  Once they finally began to get short from sharpening, I just pop on a color pencil extender (lengthener), and I‘m good to go.
