These colored pencil sets come from Koh-I-Noor, a venerable Czech stationery maker. The boxes are printed with a picture of Krteck, a mole character created by Czech picture book author Zdeněk Miler Krtek. It’s so adorable that you’ll want to put it up on display in your room. These pencils are short, measuring just 8.7 cm, making the set compact and portable. The 6-color set popular among Czech school children contains yellow, red, light blue, green, brown, and black. The 12 color set contains yellow, beige, orange, red, pink, purple, light blue, blue, green, dark green, brown, and black.
