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

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

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.

Have bought the standard bulk packs before. My kids love the pastel colours. No change in quality as far as I can tell. The graphite is pretty solid and we get a lot of use from the pencils.

Write really well and the colours are just nice vs yellow all the time

These pencils are so pretty! Bought to laser engrave names/sayings on them
