Amazon Basics Colored Pencils for Coloring and Drawing, Premium, Soft Core, Back to School Supplies, 24 Count (Pack of 1), Multicolor

I purchased the Amazon Basics 24-pack colored pencils, and they are excellent. The colors are vibrant and smooth, making coloring enjoyable and easy. The pencils have a good quality wood casing, and the cores don’t break easily while sharpening. They work well for kids’ art projects, school assignments, or just casual coloring. The set is affordable but doesn’t compromise on quality. They also blend nicely if you want to create shading or layered effects. Overall, this is a great basic set of colored pencils. I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend them for both children and adults.

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 organized Minor 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

Absolutely love. The colors are vibrant, easy to sharpen, great variety and worth the price.

I bought this 24-pack of Amazon Basics soft core colored pencils for my mandala coloring projects and drawing, and I’ve loved them from the first use. The colors are vibrant and highly pigmented, with a soft core that glides beautifully on paper, making it easy to blend, layer, and create smooth transitions without much pressure. The range of shades is well-rounded for most projects: bright basics, earth tones, and some pastels. What really stands out is the durability: the leads are thick and sturdy—they don’t break easily when sharpening or pressing down (goodbye to the constant snapping of cheap pencils!). They come pre-sharpened and ready to go, and the metal tin is practical, with an inner tray for organization and a removable lid that keeps them protected. For the price, it’s an absolute steal—quality comparable to pricier brands like Prismacolor or Faber-Castell for basic needs, but much more affordable. Perfect for adults who color for relaxation, students, or older kids (with supervision due to sharp points). I’ve already recommended them to all my friends! If you’re looking for reliable, budget-friendly colored pencils, these are the ones.

Nice quality colored pencils. Color is well pigmented. Releases smoothly on the paper. Can smudge to blend if you apply pressure which is cool. But if you pass your fingers over your coloring quickly it won’t smudge by accident. Nice for any aspiring artist that wants something with more quality than the pencils that start with the letter C and end in with an A. Worth it for the price point. I recommend.

These colored pencils are soft cored and color extremely well. I think they’re as good, if not better than Prisma. I definitely recommend these!

Pleasantly surprised! The colors lay down much easier than other cheap kids’ colored pencils do - like, it’s not “plasticky”, where you have to push down hard to get good colors, but more “buttery” if you know what I mean. My kids and I actually enjoy using it! So far the lead is about as sturdy as you might hope. If you don’t throw them around or drop them regularly like my kids do, the lead should wear down only from being used to color. Great value.

Great product. Colors are true.

Very good quality amazon basics is the best besides prismatic color.

I was so impressed by the huge number of great reviews so I bought the 72 ct set. Reviews say soft core, smooth lay down, super soft, lay down like butter ... I found nothing like that at all. They do present well with a metal case. But I have found them to be hard and some pencils are scratchy. One pencil wasn't new. And another has paintwork peeling. Whilst these are cheap, may be Crayola 100 pencils are better value.

Son lápices de colores de buena calidad. Tienen tonos bonitos, además de que pintan excelente. Mi hija está encantada con ellos. Además, el precio es relativamente accesible.

The colours are very vibrant! I wasn’t sure about buying anything other than crayola, but the reviews were good so I gave them a try and they’re great pencil crayons. I’ll buy the bigger set next time.

I purchased the Amazon Basics coloured pencil as a gift for my fiance. He wanted to try out a couple of themed adult colouring books and these have been great! You usually expect to pay a much higher price for a set this large, so we're very happy. They have rich pigmentation, an incredible range of shades, smooth blending and the tin case is an excellent touch and has made for easy storage!
