A card box with a window, behind which stand six thick felt-tips: yellow, red, blue, green, brown and black. JOVI's Maxi line is the version for young children — shorter, fatter and with a nib that stands up to a firm hand.
Young children draw with their whole arm and press harder than they realise. With thin markers that ends after a week in a pushed-in nib. This nib is blocked so it cannot disappear into the barrel; the pictogram on the box says precisely that.
The ink is washable, which helps above all when sleeves and hands get drawn on too. Leave the cap off and, according to the packaging, the pen is still usable for 96 hours. The Maxi lays down a 5.8 mm line, so filling large areas goes quickly.
Six is the number to start with or to top up with: enough for the basic colours, and small enough for a backpack or the drawing drawer.
