15/04/2016 – Woody, Scribbi, Power, Trio… Welcome to the Stabilo Family! Your child likes to draw and colour, but it’s not always easy to choose THE pencil!

To enlighten us on the subject, I invited a young aspiring artist, William, to talk about his likes and drawing preferences in order to understand his habits as a child, and what he thinks about this choice. Thanks to William for accepting my invitation.

Stabilo workshop.

Let’s get down to business now…Drawing and especially colouring are paramount in the development of children’s creativity, but how can we choose the right tool? So, I‘ve organised a workshop at William’s to discover a little more.

On this occasion, I’ve brought 7 sets of pens and pencils to test:

  • 68 Fibre Pens
  • Point 88 Pens
  • Trio Pencils and Pens
  • Woody Pencils
  • Scribbi Markers
  • Power Pens

.

Introducing the young artist : William

William is 7 years old. He’s French and speaks fluent English. As a child who’s enjoying the life, he loves sports, loves painting “smiley faces” and copying beautiful illustrations. His favourite artist is Van Gogh he discovered recently in school. He loves blue, red and green colours. Later, he’s aspiring to work as a cook, gardener or superhero.

I’m 7 and I drew with 7 stabilo

William has invited his friend Paul to attend this workshop. The two little boys were very attentive to my instructions. They drew, tested and made comments on pens and pencils. It’s amazing what the children can do during the first use: draw, scribble, mauling the tip ….

Presentation of the Collection

1) Point 88 Pen

Hexagonal golden yellow body which is very quickly recognizable. Point 88 Pen has a very thin tip. It is popular for writing, lettering, and to draw precise details. It is available in 30 colours including 5 fluorescent.

Water-based ink, intense and bright colours are appreciated by young and professional artists. Its tip is extra fine metal clad to ensure excellent durability of use. It can be sold individually or in packs.

It is available in 46 colours, including 6 fluorescent. Its bright colours and odorless water based ink are equally suited to young artists and professionals.

4) Trio Fibre Pen

Trio 2 in 1 has two tips: a thin 0.5mm tip to write and an average tip of 2mm to colour, so you can change from writing to colouring easily. The water-based ink washes easily on fabrics and skin. 10 colours are available.

5) Woody Chunky Pencil

The Woody is easily recognizable. This is a big pencil, quite short, with large tip. 3 in 1, it is also a watercolour and a pencil. It is available in 18 colours.

It has a soft and well pigmented lead. It is easy to use and adapts to all smooth surfaces: glass, plastic, tiles and is easily erased with a cloth. His only issue is to force us to invest in a XXL-size pencil sharpener and paintbrush but as Stabilo thinks of everything, there are sets with brush and Pencil Sharpener provided.

Deliberation of the artists

Top 3 William (7 years old):

  • Woody pencil
  • Trio Pencil
  • Power Pen

William’s comments: « They are colouring quickly and are good when you learn to do the colouring. They make broad strokes. The cap is easy to remove and recover. The woody is cool because it makes painting!

Top 3 Paul (7 years old):

  • Scribbi Marker
  • Trio Pen 2 in 1
  • Woody pencil

Paul’s comments: I like these ones because the other tips were too thin, they “suck” – showing the Point 88 Pens -. Woody pencil is painting as well. It’s new, I like that!
