Lyra Ferby Short Tri Grip Triangular Children's Pencils for Kindergarten, School Supplies, Beginner Writing, 6 Count

I love the thickness of the lead in these it's ginormous and really resistant to breakage they'd be great for little ones learning to write or those wanting a pencil with a fat dark lead, I only wish they were full length.

These pencils are perfection for young scribblers and writers. Every detail is just right, from the short (but not too short) length, the chunky triangular shape, the 5mm soft dark 6B core... even the ends are beautifully finished sealed wood which add to their safety around the youngest children. They cost more than cheaply made pencils but they are very high quality and extremely durable. If I had to purchase for an entire classroom or school I'd probably choose a less expensive option (the STEAMFLO beginner pencils seem pretty good and share some design similarities), but when buying for one's own child or grandchild it's Lyra Ferby all the way for me. 5 stars!

Good quality pencils truly are easy to grip both for small and big hands. I use these for writing/marking with gloves on and the size and shape truly make a difference. I wish for my use that I had gone with a longer pencil, but overall these have been great.

Amazing, quality pencils. Perfect for my beginning writer. Love that they encourage a good pencil grip, too! My husband has already been borrowing them from our 5-year-old.

Easy grip for beginners. My only difficulty was finding a sharpener that worked well with it. I bought the one that’s recommended on amazon (wooden looking one) but it wasn’t all that good, which is why I took a star away

Fine motor skills or dexterity is the coordination of small muscles that are involved in smaller movements that occur in the wrists, hands, fingers, feet and toes. They involve smaller actions such as picking up objects between the thumb and finger, writing carefully, and even blinking. These motor skills together with gross motor skills work together to provide coordination. These skills will keep developing with age, practice and the increased use of muscles while doing things such as playing an instrument, and writing. In Kindergarten children are taught how to form their letters as one of the first steps in learning to read. Having the right pencil can make all the difference in how easy it is for a child to form these letters. These Lyra Ferby pencils are made from all natural unlaquered wood, are only 4.5" long, has a triangular shape, and has a nice fat grip that is easy for a child to handle. My kindergartner is able to form and write all his letters much more easily and more efficiently than with the standard (skinny) pencil. The lead is very dark even with very little pressure and they last a really long time and is virtually indestructible, (no splitting, can't be snapped and requires less sharpening than the standard pencil.). As an elementary school teacher I highly recommend these pencils for kindergartners. They aid in greatly improving fine motor skills that are just forming in early childhood. Grade A+

I bought these for my 2 year old son to scribble on paper and to use myself for household projects. The large diameter lead is more durable than than normal size wood pencils, holding up well in rough use (including my son pounding on the paper as he 'draws'. Yeah, they are a little expensive, but at least they are good quality. I use the "Faber-Castell Grip Trio Sharpener Arts and Crafts, Multi." sharpener's Jumbo slot to resharpen easily with a few twists.

They were perfect for my grandson.

These can quickly and were exactly what I was after. Thanks

Great design for preschoolers. Easy for gripping and writing. I love these pencils!!!

Simplemente excelentes.

These pencils are great, good shape, easy to hold for a good pencil grip and have a nice thick lead

Short pencils, about 6-7cm each, the triangular body made it easier for my 3yo niece trace alphabets and just doodle comfortably. Will recommend this product to kiddos starting out. Do supervise!
