Perfect starter pencils that have made learning to write so much easier for my child!
These Ticonderoga My First triangular pencils have been absolutely incredible for my young learner and completely transformed the frustrating writing experience into something enjoyable and successful - the quality is outstanding with genuine cedar wood construction and premium graphite that writes smoothly without breaking or requiring excessive pressure, and I love how the trusted Ticonderoga brand delivers the same reliability in child-sized format that educators have depended on for generations. The functionality is phenomenal as the triangular shape naturally guides proper finger placement and prevents rolling off desks, while the shorter length fits small hands perfectly without the fatigue and awkwardness that comes from adult-sized pencils that are too long and heavy for developing motor skills. They look great with classic yellow styling that makes them instantly recognizable as quality school supplies, and the attached erasers provide convenient correction capability that builds confidence during the learning process by making mistakes easily fixable. At this price point for premium children's pencils, it's incredible value compared to cheap alternatives that break constantly or expensive specialty learning tools - these pencils have dramatically reduced writing frustration and improved my child's handwriting progress because the ergonomic design actually supports proper grip development, and teachers have commented on how much more confident and willing to write my child has become since switching to these perfectly-sized triangular pencils, making this one of the smartest educational purchases for supporting early writing development with tools specifically designed to help children succeed rather than struggle with inappropriate adult-sized supplies.

Same one the teacher uses
I got these for my 5 year old because these are the same kind of pencils the teacher uses in her kindergarten class. They are perfect for youngsters who are learning to write. The shorter pencil length is great for smaller hands and the chubby triangular shape is perfect for training muscle memory for proper pencil grip. I use these when I am helping her with her homework and I discovered I’ve been holding pencils the wrong way for as long as I can remember. These pencils are helping improve my handwriting too, go figure.

Great pencils!
I love this kids and toddler sized pencils ! My daughter is three and has been practicing her number and letters and these pencils are a game changer!! The triangle shape is really making her have to properly grip the pencil but in a natural and comfortable way for her hands. They are kind of grippy so her fingers are sliding down the pencil when she is writing. The came pre sharped, and very colorful with plenty of Eraser on the tip! Good quality pencils I will definitely be ordering more as we progress through homeschool!! I absolutely recommend, these are great quality and a good price! Happy writing

Absolute kid helper
Bought these for my 3yr old, and my 4yr Niece. They have been using them to do homework and the shortness of the pencil has been a very big help. I also like the triangle shap as it has helped them hold the pencil. I would 1000% recommend these for any Littles learning to write. Easy to use, awesome quality, and a great value for money!

Great purchase
Size is great for early writers. Unfortunately, due to width, it doesn't allow me to attach a gripper but allows the writer to learn & adapt to holding their pencil properly. Quality is good but remember to get a sharpener with large hole. A traditional sharpener won't do & purchase separate eraser. The pencil will last longer than the eraser. Unfortunately, it only comes in one color which is fine because adding color would most likely make these pencils more expensive.

Great for little hands!
My kids really like these. These are easier to hold for little hands compared to an average pencil. They are good quality, but could erase a little better. They come pre-sharpened which is nice. Make sure to grab a pencil sharpener big enough to accommodate!

Best for toddlers
Fun to use! Definitely great for toddlers who are just starting school! Not too long , not heavy. Quality is amazing. Writes great. Most pencils print light but these are great.

Perfect for toddler!
These are perfect for my 3 yr old. He goes back and forth on holding pens and crayons th right way so I got these for him to work on it and he immediately picked it up. I love that they’re short because he can’t hold it up high then. They feel just like regular pencils and are not too heavy for his little hands like some markers and big crayons.

Ticonderoga My First Short Triangular pencil is excellent for kids just learning to write ✏️. Its short, triangular design makes it easy for little hands to grip correctly, and the lead writes smoothly without breaking. Bright, fun color and high-quality build make writing practice more enjoyable. Highly recommend for preschoolers and early learners!

These pencils are great for tiny hands with a heavy grip. They are triangular shaped, which make them less awkward for learning to write with a proper hold. They are smaller in size and offer easier control. They are also thicker, making them less likely to snap off and need constant sharpening.

A little pricey for 4 mini pencils! I like that they are triangular so easier to grip! They are great for my kids because they are shorter and easier to manoeuvre with small hands!

These are great! My 3yo finds it easier to write with this as they are shorter and chunkier than normal ones.
