Eco Kids Colored Pencils, Set of 12

For the Air Goddess — who keeps a small person supplied.

Twelve colored pencils in a tube, which is the entire idea and a good one. The tube travels: it goes into a backpack, a glove box, the seat pocket of an airplane, the bottom of a diaper bag, and it does not scatter the way a flat tin does the moment somebody tips it over. Eco-kids has been making art supplies for small hands out of gentler materials for years, and this is the least complicated thing they make.

Airport gates, restaurant tables, the long stretch of a Sunday afternoon. It is also very nearly the perfect stocking stuffer, being small, useful, and under ten dollars.
