KOALA TOOLS | Bear Claw Pencils 1-Pack (6 Pencils) - Fat, Thick, Triangular Grip, Extra-Fat 4B Graphite Core with Eraser - Suitable for Kids, Art, Drawing, Drafting, Sketching & Shading

Big fat pencil, great for drawing on canvas before art blockin

I bought these for me to use while demonstrating art for directed drawings. My thought was I could erase when needed with these. Usually I just use sharpies and try to avoid making any line that needs erasing later. When doing some drawings it would be so much easier to just erase the tiny bit of a circle than to get kids to make part of a circle. However, these pencils write with a beautiful dark line that does not easily erase away. I wanted it dark so kids could see it but I also wanted it to erase well. I’ll stick to sharpies and add these to my personal art supplies for pencil sketching.**add later**These would be great for students who need help writing darker lines. The shape is awesome for new writers and the lines show up even with less pressure. They are costly though. Perhaps not so practical for a classroom setting where pencils are lost often.

Originally bought these for my 3yo and these are good pencils, but maybe not right for her age. The eraser end and length make the pencils top heavy and hard for my little one to hold on to when adjusting her grip. Great, but pricey for my 7yo. Not recommended for 3yo.

My 8 year old granddaughter draws cartoons and these pencils are perfect for little hands. She loves them.

Great invention for children learning to write!! Easy to hold and they love the ease of pencil to paper !

Both these as for my 3 year old. My 7 year old likes them too so wanted to try them. The erasers just keep popping off. The entrie metal piece that holds the eraser just slips off not matter who uses them.

Two of the colors just flooded out of the marker while I was priming them for their first use. They write well enough

These are really nice for big sketches-- the lead is nice and soft so it gets pretty dark. The only reason I'm not giving them a perfect review is the eraser is a little stiff and waxy. Its not terrible but it does smudge more than it erases. The lead quality is comparable to a Blackwing 602, but the eraser isn't great. Make sure you have a big enough sharpener-- it will only fit in the large hole of a two hole sharpener.

We got these for our 5yo who was struggling with drawing and writing (was late to choose a hand). The triangular shape and soft lead makes these a great choice for learners! They are just really nice pencils and I frequently grab them to make quick notes. I have some arthritis in my hands and they're actually much easier for me to write with when I have joint pain also! Only issue is we needed to get a larger barrel pencil sharpener (obviously?) and even then they don't quite fit without some convincing and tend to leave some sharp burrs around the edges that need to be picked or scraped off. Overall, I think these are a great product.

Larger pencil, easy for my little to grip. Much better than standard pencils. Nice big eraser too. Hard to break, we love them. Will buy again.

Great pack of pencils for little ones still developing their fine motor skills. The body is more like a soft triangle so very easy to grip. My son just started grade one and he loves these. I will definitely be picking up more when we run out. The only draw back in the don’t fit a generic circular pencil sharpener easily. It takes more focus to sharpen them is all

we love these just wish they weren't so expensive. But of all the pencil's my little one uses this one the best

These are awesome for writting. I love the substantial overall feel of them when writting. Great product!!!
