Best Colored Pencil Reviews 2021

Humans can hardly stay away from color and we can understand why. Color is beauty! We all want things brighter, clearer, sharper. From our LCD TVs to our digital cameras, we continually change them for higher specification models, all in the hope of seeing the world in clearer colors.

The act of coloring itself is so provocative and therapeutic and you can’t imagine all the million and one things that have been achieved and even cured just by coloring.

While you may be familiar with the bonding families share when they get their faces painted to support someone’s game, there’s a myriad of other ways coloring brings lasting solutions to life-threatening issues, especially with the use of colored pencils. It might sound strange, but it’s so true. Allow us to tell you this short, compelling story.

In a book titled “Perfect Match” (it’s not romance so get your head outta the clouds), a 5-year old boy was abused by his catholic priest (told ya!) and that made him go into shock and become temporarily dumb. While he was in his dumb state, his mother met a shrink who advised her to get him a drawing book and coloring pencils. Strangely, that was the only thing the young boy was not averse to at that time. Every day, he sat in the same spot with just his drawing book, his jar of colored pencils and his sharpener by him. Even his teddy didn’t get a look-in.

A few weeks after he started coloring, the boy didn’t begin to talk but he did identify his abuser when he colored the word “father’. We will not go into all the detail of the story and how his mum mistakenly thought it was her husband that was the abuser, and all the blood and gore that your mind is already probably imagining right now.

Okay we’ve given away too much. But you get the picture. Coloring isn’t just child’s play. It can yield powerful results and it’s great that you’re considering owning your own set (or replacing it, or adding to your array as the case may be – just had to put that out there!).
