These coloring pencils are perfect for carrying in purse for those moments when kids need an activity. The box is slender, and the double-ended colors makes it so this set does not take as much room/ create as much "clutter" as other pencils. As far as actual quality and functionality....my kiddo is very happy with them. He thinks that the double-ended colors are very neat and fun, and the lead is of nice enough quality that they are easy to draw with, and the colors are strong (which cannot be said for all pencils). \
Recently we used these pencils at a restaurant, and I appreciated how due to the space-saving nature of the double-ends, there were only a few on the table. Most parents likely understand the frustration of having pencils and crayons scattered all over a dining table, and the chaos it can create at a time that you just want to relax and have a nice meal. I recommend these pencils both for general function, and also for their ability to reduce clutter.
