Dixon Ticonderoga 2 Beginner Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, with Bonus Sharpener (Yellow, Primary Size) (33309)

Good for adults but not good for beginners. Colour atractive

My 3 year old was having issues holding a pencil even with a pencil grip. I bought her Ticonderogas “My first TriWrite pencil” it worked like a charm she no longer struggles to hold a pencil and loves learning to write! It immediately gave her confidence. We moved onto the Ticonderoga Beginners Pencils and My First Pencil and she loves them all! They are Thick, Durable, lead is very dark when written with, and kids love them. I have a box to her preschool class and the teachers absolutely loved the fact that the kids in class no longer have a hard time gripping a pencil properly and they love writing. I highly recommend all 3 of these pencil products including the Ticonderoga Erasers. My little one loves them and they promote motor and development skills!

The pencils are good quality and sturdy and it's bonus that a sharpener for that type of pencil comes with it.

Easy to hold for my 7 year old kid. These slightly larger pencils have helped tremendously with some of his frustrations. Great tool suggested by our Occupational therapist and teacher. My Kid needed a larger pencil and I just don't understand why the stores think that we don't do schooling throughout the whole year and only provide these products July through September. My three year old and my eight year old has love these but they are intended for my three-year-old and are working perfectly well for her. I definitely will be purchasing these again and they are highly recommended by teachers

These Ticonderoga My First Wood-Cased Pencils are wonderful for young children learning to hold a pencil. But they are also great for people with problematic joints in the hand such as arthritis, swollen joints and the like, much easy to grip and hold on to. They last a long time too as the lead is thicker it doesn’t break as easily.

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.
