Here's an ode to the 90s kids. Remember those cool Faber-Castell pencils you'd use with pride to colour the maps or complete projects with? I did and I loved those days I won't lie. While those pencils are a mood, the art pendulum is shifting towards products that are more sustainable and still as good. So you know what we have for you? These awesome colour pencils available on LBB that are more or less as good as the Faber-Castell ones and without a doubt, much more eco-friendly. Read more and buy these for your little ones or for yourself.
5 Pens And Pencils That Are Just As Good As Faber Castell
Multi-Colour Newspaper Pencils
₹150
These newspaper pencils from Goli Soda are as smooth as butter. Here you have pencils that you would not want your hands to leave because of their designs and the overall feel when you put pen-cil to paper. These are a pack of five, each differently designed and wrapped in a colourful newspaper printed paper. Projects couldn't be more fun, we say. Make outlines or just a random sketch, these pencils are smooth to work with.
Prodir Metal Pen
₹999
Good Stuff, this. Really. The brand that makes these awesome pens is named after its pens' quality. A thick gel pen that is as fluid in its writing as it is regal to hold, the body is made from ABS and Metal. You will love to put pen to paper when you hold these big boys as the gel dries up quick and erases all possibilities of smudging. We suggest you go old fashion and have the pen clips tugged to your shirt pockets for a more classy feel.
LED Pens
₹190
Channel the inner kid in you and get these LED pens from Awwsocutestore. Or wait, gift your little ones these LED kids. A bit on the 'dhinchak' side, these pens with their little neon lighting is just perfect for those of you who love your journalling sessions. Push the little button on the pen cap and write away as lights in colours of purple, green and pinks guide you home (see what I did there #coldplay). As for the pens themselves, these are top quality and smudge-free.
Plantable Pencils
₹200
Remember those erasers you'd have on your pencil heads? They were nice and easy to use and also the fragrance that wafted out from those erasers was a treat. Now, we have pencils from Notex that instead of eraser heads, have little containers that come with plantable seeds within. You read that right. Once you're done using the pencil, all you got to do is cut open the top of the newspaper covered pencil and plant the seeds in your area of choice. These pencils have the seeds they contain named on their coverings so that you know the one you're getting.
Sustainable Paper Pencils
₹150
Picture a newspaper with lead protruding out of it. That's what these pencils from Rescript look like. Black and white, these pencils have a HB lead which means the lead in these won't just get dislodged them moment this pencil touches paper. Looking like the New York Times just wrapped itself around a pencil, the outer recycled paper covering adds a more natural feel to these writing instruments. Available in a pack of 10, you'd love these.
