These pencils are highly recommended for young children learning to write due to their chunkier style and thick lead, which prevents breakage. The triangular design makes them easy to hold and prevents rolling off the desk. However, the erasers are a common point of dissatisfaction among guests.

    I love these pencils. They are very comfortable to hold and they have nice thick lead that will not break easily when writing. I liked them so much I bought another package to make sure I had plenty of them.

    It may help a child learn to hold their pencil better? Debatable though. The colors are nice and the price is pretty good. HOWEVER the ERASURES are awful and just result in dark smears across the paper—leaving the paper looking pretty messy—and, one upset 6 year old!

    Elementary teacher here, and these are the only pencils that I use now, especially when I’m using the document camera to model writing. The grip is great and they last a long time because the thick lead rarely breaks. They do smudge, but the pros overshadow that con for me.

    I got these for myself. I tend to press hard when writing and frequently break the lead with thinner lead. This is more durable for me and the thicker barrel forces me to reduce my grip lessening hand fatigue.

    My kid used to think he was supposed to carve through the paper and onto the desk while he writes. He can't be sharpening his pencils all day so this helped. He doesn't have the distraction of having to sharpen his pencils every 30 seconds. Now he wants them just becasue he likes them and for the price, I can't say no

    Christy V - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I know these are intended for younger kids that are learning to write but I wish they made these with the thinner lead too. I think the pencil itself is comfortable to use and easier on adult hands because it's like a wide pencil. I'm not as in love with the larger lead HB size because then it forces me to write bigger. I use a lot of post it notes all other small paper notes so it feels like I'm using up too much of the paper real estate.

    My husband relies on these pencils for his work in construction. They have proven to be incredibly convenient for him, especially when he's on job sites where finding a sharpener can be a hassle. With his role often requiring precise measurements and markings, these pencils allow him to work efficiently without interruption. Plus, they've demonstrated a remarkable durability; he appreciates that they don’t break easily, even when he’s handling them in rough conditions. This reliability makes a noticeable difference in his workday.

    Love this pencil pack so much! My son uses them regularly for PreK homework and he takes care of it so well. I’ve tried normal mechanical pencils, but he quickly breaks the lead. This lead is thick enough that he won’t break it easily.
