Ticonderoga My First Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, 2 HB, Yellow, 12 Count

I love these large pencils as an older person. I don't lose them easily and just feel good in my hands. The lead quality and the wood make for a great writing experience. I prefer to jot notes and just write in pencil over a pen, as a personal preference. I love that I could purchase a set of 12 presharpened pencils from Ticonderoga, love the company and their products.

Easy to grip and control , making them a good choice for developing fine motor skills and learning to write.

Wonderful for the little ones learning to write

great to use for carpentry pencil!

Nice set of pencils good quality too and I like that they in pre sharpened not bad for the price either ,

I was working on a home improvement project and found myself getting frustrated sharpening carpenter's pencils. (square ones) I came across this pencil and saw how thick the graphite was on it.I bought a pack and I am loving it as a carpenter's pencil. It is easy to sharpen which was the obvious benefit to me. I didn't expect it but the lines are so much easier to see. When I wear polarized sunglasses I can see the lines incredibly well. The only downsides are that the pencil is round so it can roll off a surface easier than a square pencil will fall off. (both fall off when doing construction though)I get a bit of grief from my wife and kid about using a kid's pencil but I have earplugs that help with that.Here are the pros and cons of using it as a carpenter's pencil:Pros:1) Super easy to sharpen. (no pocket knifes or messing around)2) It comes with a sharpener (which also sharpens crayons incidentally)3) It is yellow and easy to find in the grass.4) There is an eraser that may never be used but doubles as a safety device (not really)5) The Irwin carpenter's pencil sharpener works with it.6) The lines are better than any of my carpenter pencil's lines. (easy to see)7) They should last a long time due to the way you sharpen them and the length.Cons:1) People might poke fun at you. (get earplugs)2) They are round so they might be more prone to roll off surfaces. (not an issue if you put in in your pocket)3) You won't improve your whittling skills as much as you would with a square pencil.I love these pencils as carpenter's pencils. I have eight of them now and my square pencils do not get used anymore.

I like these pencils for my first grader and kindergartener. It helps them to have a thicker pencil to grasp while they are learning how to write.

Best pencils made ever!!
