Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, 2 HB Soft, Pastel Colors, 150 Count

Absolutely love these. For me the best pencils to have in the class and this box is an excellent price and the perfect gift for the first day of school!!

I purchased the Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, #2 HB Soft, Pastel Colors, 150 Count and it turned out to be an excellent choice for elementary school classroom needs. If you are a room parent helping support a teacher or classroom, this set makes a lot of sense. With 150 pencils included, there are plenty to distribute throughout the year for daily use, testing days, classroom stations, and students who forget supplies. Ticonderoga has a strong reputation for quality, and these pencils write smoothly, sharpen well, and break less often than many cheaper bulk options. Teachers and parents usually appreciate that reliability because low-quality pencils create constant frustration. The pre-sharpened feature is a major convenience. Instead of spending time sharpening dozens of pencils before bringing them to school, they are ready to go right out of the box. The pastel colors are also a nice touch. They feel more cheerful and appealing than standard yellow pencils while still being classroom appropriate. Kids tend to enjoy choosing different colors, which adds a little fun to everyday schoolwork. For room parents organizing donations, teacher appreciation support, or beginning-of-year supply needs, this is a smart and practical purchase. Overall, dependable quality, large quantity, and classroom-friendly presentation make this a great option for elementary school room parents. Five stars.

The pencils are beautiful, they write well and sharpen well which is a big one for me. The one thing I wasn’t too pleased about was how dirty each pencil was in the box. I bought them to engrave with my laser machine and they engrave beautifully.

With two daughters in school, this pack was the perfect amount to get us through two school years. Ticonderoga pencils are always our go-to because they write smoothly, sharpen well, and last longer than other brands we've tried. The assorted colors are a fun bonus and make it easy for the girls to tell their pencils apart. Great quality and a great value!

I love these pencils. Long lasting and write really well. I gave them as teacher gifts and kept the rest for me!
