Ticonderoga Beginners Woodcase Pencil with Eraser and Microban Protection, HB (#2), Black Lead, Yellow Barrel, Dozen

First off let me say I did have a hard time finding a sharpener to fit this pencils but my kids was able to get it done at school. I have one child in high school and one in grammer 5th grade so they use a lot of pencils and I enjoy writing poetry so I use them often as well. I found the quality really upstanding and the grip very nice. I often tend to squeeze my pencils hard because they slip when my hands sweat and I had no problem. I would definitely buy these and recommend them to a friend. Note to self buy pencil sharpener with the two wholesale lol

These are the chubby pencils used in preschool and kindergarten. You will need a special sharpener to fit these pencils. The larger lead allows us to see your kids writing where the regular size pencils are a fine tip and doesn't show up on her homework papers very well.

We are always losing our pencils at home and homework time always involves a pre-hunt. I knew I wanted to buy a box and be set for at least a month. I had never heard of pencils being made that were thicker in diameter. But I figured if they existed there must be a benefit for my little ones. And oh wow! These pencils make it so much easier to grip when children are already struggling with forming letters and mastering the alligator mouth grip, this thickness is so much easier for them and gives them added confdence that they are succeeding. I also like that they not break because my six yr old is a bit of a fidgeter and now I worry less he will snap them in two. Great product, will continue to buy these for my kids to help them on their new school journey.

These pencils are absolutely the best pencils the quality is great. The eraser on the pencil is excellent as well. Every year my child's School prefers these pencils over all others. You definitely cannot go wrong with this brand!
