#65 Twig Pencils

I bought these twig pencils from Oxfam Australia (who i am a huge fan of) for my nieces some time ago.
They were so cute, very well made & most importantly the pencils work really well
(You know how some pencils are a bit waxy & you have to press too hard to get any colour?).
'Oxfam Australia has been working with communities for more than 50 years & have learnt that simply giving hand outs is not the answer. Instead, they provide people with the skills & resources to help them create their own solutions to poverty.'wit



They are made in Thailand & usually cost only $8.95 but were recently on sale for $5 so understandably they are now out of stock. Unfortunately because I'd love to get some more!

Similar options are available from else where, like these 10 piece sets from A Toy Garden.
The largest set costs $14.95, the middle $12.95 & the small is $9.95.
