Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, Fun Barrel Colors, 8 Count

These pencils are good for all ages. I like the thickness of the lead and that they are not easy to break. The colours are fantastic and the erasers work well. Comes with additional leads also.

Pros: I grabbed these Paper Mate pencils because they were on sale, and now that my daughter is a bit older and moving into her later elementary school years, she is transitioning from wooden pencils to lead pencils. I did not want to invest in anything too expensive because honestly, she tends to lose pencils before we even get to the point of needing a refill. These Paper Mate pencils turned out to be a great choice for that stage. They are beginner friendly with a thicker 1.3mm lead that is much more forgiving for little hands still building control. The barrel colors are fun and bright, and my daughter loves all of them, though pink is still her favorite of course. Each pack also comes with an extra lead refill case, so we are set for a while before needing more. At only $3.50 at the time I bought them, it felt like such a steal for 5 pencils plus refills. For anyone with a young writer transitioning from wood pencils, Paper Mate really nailed the design here, from the triangular grip to the bold lead thickness. Cons: The only real downside is the eraser quality on these Paper Mate pencils. They work, but they are not as strong as I would like for a kid who erases a lot while learning. I still keep a separate set of Pentel high polymer erasers on hand for that reason, since those tend to outperform the erasers that come attached to most pencils, Paper Mate included.

I love writing with these pencils. They come in such beautiful colours too. The package arrived extremely quickly!

El diseño es muy lindo, los colores son alegres y la calidad es muy buena. Son una excelente elección para darle estilo a tu lapicero. Si tienes niños pequeños me parece que son una gran elección por el grosor de la mina y la pigmentación, te ahorra un sacapuntas y es más duradero que un lápiz de madera. Si los sabes cuidar es un lapicero que te va a durar mucho tiempo. El único inconveniente qué encuentro es que PaperMate no vende repuestos de gomas o minas para este modelo en especifico, de ser así podrían ser tu lápiz de toda la vida.

These pencils are great for carpenters
