A vibrant green army of caterpillars. A brilliant blue ostentation of peacocks. A yellow tower of giraffes as bright as the savanna sun. You certainly don’t need to be a self-professed word nerd to appreciate the weird and wonderful terminology splashed across these playful pencils from UK-based shop Newton and the Apple, each one describing the collective gathering of a particular animal.

Each standout scribbler is color-coordinated with its corresponding critter, whose name is hand-pressed onto the side in gold-foil lettering. Watch any animal lover or collector of unusual facts pull this whimsical set from their stocking and we guarantee they’ll be tickled pink as a stand of flamingos. Animal noun pencils from Newton and the Apple, $10
