Why color images of pencils?
There are many reasons to dedicate a whole gallery to pencils. Maybe you don't think much about their importance because they're small and we have to use them all the time, but they're really very necessary. Have you ever imagined a world without pencils?
If pencils didn't exist it would be very hard to write or color, we would have other alternatives that might be less hygienic or hard to obtain. But nowadays we all have a pencil on hand, ready to jot down the most important things in a notebook, or to fill black-and-white coloring images with life.
Since they're essential objects in our everyday life, we not only have pencil coloring pages, but on top of the printable coloring images we added super interesting fun facts you didn't know about pencils, so that you can learn so much more.
If you're ready to start, then grab your watercolors, paints, colored pencils, or markers. With any material you can bring these beautiful pencil coloring pages to life!
Learn while coloring Pencils
- Do you know how colored pencils are made? Actually, what colors is a pigmented core, which is covered by a wooden structure. The wood gives it a long useful life, and on top of that, it provides protection to the core.
- The first prototypes of pencils that existed were covered with cords or with sheepskin.
- The Italians were the ones who discovered that wood was the ideal material to protect the pencil core, and that this way, it wouldn't break.
- Before, the first pencils that were made had a round shape, but because of that geometric shape they wouldn't stop rolling when placed on a table, which is why they ended up being produced with a hexagonal shape.
- International Pencil Day is celebrated on March 30 every year.
- On March 30, 1858, the American Hymen L. Lipman received the patent for a pencil with an eraser attached at the end, just like the ones we use today!
- The first pencil that ever saw the light was in a small town in Bavaria, Germany, around 1750.
- Do you know why there are pencils that write dark and others that write light? Pencils that contain more clay than graphite write light, but if they have more graphite than clay, then they write dark.
- Every year more than 14 billion pencils are made in the world. If you lined them up in a row, you could go around planet Earth more than 60 complete times!
- Pencils are made through a mixture of graphite powder, clay, and water. When this mixture looks like a kind of paste, it's left to dry and then baked. It's like you're cooking!
