12 Watercolor Pencils with Brush
12 dipped watercolor pencils with brush — entry-level watercolor set for school and retail programs
Product Overview
Supermarket stationery buyers and school supply distributors who need to offer a watercolor pencil entry point at a price accessible to primary-school families face a specific procurement challenge: the set must deliver genuine watercolor functionality — not just a pencil that dissolves slightly when wet — at a value price position that does not require the buyer to compromise on compliance documentation.
The 12 water-soluble colors cover the essential primary, secondary, and extended palette needed for school art programs that incorporate wet media techniques. The 3.5mm water-soluble core is formulated for adequate pigment release when water-activated, delivering functional watercolor wash effects that satisfy school art curriculum requirements. The dipped tip styling — where each pencil end is dipped in the matching color — is a deliberately chosen design feature: it communicates the watercolor function visually at point of sale and adds retail shelf appeal beyond a standard colored pencil set.
The included brush enables immediate use without additional purchases. Barrels are manufactured from FSC-certified basswood selected for consistent sharpening quality around the water-soluble core. All pigment formulations are EN71-3 compliant for heavy metals and REACH SVHC tested, meeting EU chemical safety requirements for children's art products. Wood barrels carry FSC Chain-of-Custody code ESTS-COC-251233 (verifiable at info.fsc.org) at standard 175mm length and are kiln-dried to 8–12% moisture content for consistent sharpening around the water-soluble core. FSC and BSCI certifications are provided.
OEM packaging, custom color selection, and custom count (12, 24 colors) are available. This set is well-positioned for back-to-school seasonal programs, supermarket school supply aisles, and value stationery importers seeking entry-level watercolor pencil set wholesale from China and school art supply pencil OEM for European retail buyers.
Samples are available for pre-production evaluation and compliance review. Full FSC, BSCI, and EN71-3 test documentation is provided.
