My First Ticonderoga Primary Pencil and Bonus Sharpener- 2 Pk

perfect for starting kindergarden

These are not the same pencils of years ago. The wood is apparently cheap scrap wood and the lead leaves tiny chips when writing. Also, the sharpener is completely worthless. It just bites into the wood and gouges out chunks instead of sharpening. The plastic is cheap and bends easily. This is not to mention the mess it makes with the few shavings it does manage to take off the pencils. I resorted to sharpening with a pocket knife. Since the lead is not very good quality, I now just use the pencils for making marks on things that dont really matter. I should just throw them away to keep from cluttering up my junk drawer. I would not recommend these pencils at all. Spent a little more money and get some better quality ones.

Granddaughter started kindergarten this year, online for social distancing, and LOVES these pencils!

Just as expected and quick delivery

These pencils are great for toddler hands. Easy to grip so that makes practice writing less stressful. The only thing is that if you lose the sharpener that comes in the package, its kind of a pain to find the right sharpener in stores.

Bringing back the memories. I love big pencils and I write a lot as a middle school science teacher. Kids dont steal this pencil!

These pencils are great for the kids as they start to write and color...especially tracing letters and numbers. Highly recommend

Value for money

These are great for my kindergartners hand. Shes an emerging writer and these are thick enough for her to grip while shes learning her letters and numbers.

I prefer using these type of pencils, they can take more abuse and mark better than a regular #2 , also the seem to last longer.
