Amazon BasicsColored Pencils for Coloring and Drawing, Premium, Soft Core, Back to School Supplies, 48 Count (Pack of 1), Multicolor

The media could not be loaded. I was pleasantly surprised by how well these Amazon Basics colored pencils performed. As someone who enjoys adult coloring books and casual sketching, I’ve tried a wide range of colored pencils, from student-grade to professional sets — and this one holds its own in the budget category.What I loved:✔️ Smooth, soft core that lays down color evenly without needing too much pressure✔️ Vibrant, rich pigmentation – colors pop nicely, even on slightly textured paper✔️ No issues with sharpening – the cores didn’t crumble or break✔️ Great for both kids and adults – my niece enjoyed them just as much as I did✔️ The tin packaging is sturdy and helps keep the pencils organizedMinor Notes:• While the color range is solid for a 24-pack, an expanded set with more unique shades would be awesome.• These aren’t oil-based or pro-level, but for school, hobby, or casual art – they’re perfect.Overall, this is a reliable, well-priced set that exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re heading back to school, picking up a hobby, or just looking for a gift, these are a solid choice. I’ll definitely be looking into the larger sets from Amazon Basics in the future.✅ Would purchase again and recommend to others

When I saw these, I immediately grabbed them because they were on a great deal. I purchased three and I would’ve purchased more if they didn’t have. A limit. I am a retired teacher so I know color pencils very well and I know when I see a good deal to grab it. I have them for my grandchildren.The pencils come in a very pretty tin so it is worth giving as a gift and they are easy to store ,unlike a box that breaks or rips. . The colors are very pretty and they are of decent quality. I will purchases again when I see them on a good deal. They are just as good as the ones that are much more money and again because the box is not a paper box, but a tin to store them, it gets extra points!

I picked up this 24-pack of Amazon Basics Premium Colored Pencils not expecting much beyond the basics, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality!Color Variety & Quality:The set includes a great variety of vibrant, well-balanced colors—from earthy browns and skin tones to bold reds, greens, and blues. Each pencil is labeled with its color name, which is super handy for blending and consistency in larger pieces. The pigments are rich, and the color payoff is strong even with light pressure.Blending & Layering:These pencils blend better than I expected for a budget-friendly set. While they don’t quite match professional-grade brands like Prismacolor or Faber-Castell, they layer nicely and allow for decent gradient work. Perfect for coloring books, sketching, and even light shading in more detailed pieces.Build & Comfort:The pencils themselves feel sturdy and smooth. They sharpen easily without splintering, and the cores don’t break as easily as some other budget brands I’ve tried. The tin case is compact and well-organized, making it easy to store or travel with. It also looks sleek with that colorful design on the lid.Best For:• Beginners and casual artists• Coloring book fans• Kids or teens getting into art• Artists who want a decent set for on-the-go sketching without bringing pricier toolsFinal Thoughts:This is a great value set. While it may not replace high-end professional pencils, it offers impressive performance for the price.
