Why write in color?
Important in the learning process, colors contribute a lot to children in the literacy phase. The constant variation of tones stimulates selective attention, improving students' perception and memory, in addition to enhancing the development of cognitive and emotional skills.
But writing in color and being able to erase?
According to the psychopedagogue Mariana Megale, another important factor for learning, especially in this age group, is the error. The opportunity to erase and redo something brings new discoveries, improves self-esteem and gives little ones more autonomy at the same time.
“The possibility of erasing allows a new relationship with the error”.

Furthermore, making mistakes is exercising creativity! When stimulated to find another solution to the same challenge, the child's mind needs to let go to overcome it, making it revisit the path taken and suggest new alternatives. In the process, she also develops empathy and puts herself in the other's shoes.
The release
Understanding this context and with the help of educators and professionals in the area, the brand developed the Graphicolor,the new erasing colored pencil – ideal for different subjects and activities, such as learning letters, math operations, recording maps and graphs, among others. Its great differential lies in its exclusive graphite technology, which, even in color, is completely erasable.
The item is globally patented by Faber-Castell and is available in blue, pink, red and green.
For all ages
The novelty, although designed especially for children in the literacy phase, still conquers young people and lovers of stationery items thanks to its versatile concept. Consumers will now have functions that were previously performed by other products, such as highlighting and branding. The difference is that, because it is erasable with rubber, graphicolor can be applied in books, musical scores, sketches, among others. All this without compromising the material's durability!
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
