Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a retired elementary teacher I used and loved these pencils. I give them to all my little grandchildren and young acquaintances. Young children use pencils well before going to school now and should learn to hold them properly. Holding it incorrectly becomes a habit that can make writing a painful task. This is a great training pencil and is fatter than a regular pencil which is good for young children. Very high quality, which is difficult to find, and sharpens easily. I give them the X-Acto Pro Heavy Duty Electric Sharpener (1670) from Amazon to go with the pencils. It works for many diameter pencil sizes and is well worth the price for home use.
