Skills to be developed with Shichida 4B Lead Pencil Set

Teaches the Correct Pencil Grip

The triangular barrel naturally positions fingers into a tripod grasp, the essential hold for confident writing and drawing. It prevents awkward grips and sets children up for handwriting success from the start.
Builds Fine Motor Skills and Hand Strength

The 4B lead requires gentle pressure, helping kids build hand muscles and dexterity. Scribbling, tracing and drawing become playful ways to develop control and coordination.
Encourages Creativity and Focus

Whether doodling freely or tracing workbook lines, children gain focus, concentration and self-expression. These pencils transform every scribble into a learning opportunity.

How to Use Shichida 4B Lead Pencil Set

Gently encourage a good pencil grip (tripod grasp) while holding the pencil.
Free drawing: Let your child scribble or draw freely, expressing themselves. This helps your child explore their interests and creativity.
Instructed drawing: Give your child a theme to draw. Alternatively, you could give more specific instructions on drawing, including different line patterns or shapes. This should fun and pressure-free.
Workbooks: Use line drawing workbooks that encourage pencil control through tracing or following dotted lines. We recommend our Line Drawing with Pencils Workbook (available in the store).
Praise your child’s every effort to encourage confidence with using pencils.
