Laurentien (originally Laurentian) was a Canadian brand of art supplies owned by Sanford Canada. The line of supplies included coloured pencils, markers and crayons. The line of Laurentian coloured pencils was discontinued around 2012 and their websites no longer exist.

Coloured pencils

Laurentien brand coloured pencils are also known as "pencil crayons" in Canada. They were available in packages of differing sizes. Each coloured pencil is painted in a colour matching the lead, and labelled in white (Cotton White has yellow lettering) with both the name of the colour and a number assigned to each colour.
