Damn what kind of magic pencils are those. We go through a box of crayons about once a month and it'd be nice to have something that lasts longer. My kids are colour beasts

The pencil info is in the image. I can definitely recommend them for this age range. They're massive, won't ever break, and above all have superb color saturation. They're pretty high on the 'waxy' end. Not cheap I guess.

I also going to comment that you must love that child - Stabilo Woody crayons are definitely not cheap! I've bought them for myself but am using them sparingly.

Or OP is German. Stabilo products were very common place (and high quality) when I was growing up in Germany.

Oh, they're common enough here in the UK, and I even remember having the felt tips in the 1970s, but they're still not cheap.

Stabilo Woodies are also water soluble (can be blended with a wet paint brush) and they make great face and body paint sticks. I’ve been selling art supplies for 15 yrs and these are one of my favourites.

My son uses the exact same ones shown here. He draws a bit almost every day and so far in half a year he defenitly used more than you can see here. But they are really good anyway and we greatly prefer them to crayons for all the reasons already mentioned. He is also almost done with his second red and darker blue while the first brown is maybe gone half way... police cars and fire trucks I guess
