They really are the best! Be cautious of going with another brand simply for the colors, as your child would be spending a lot of time breaking lead, sharpening and disrupting learning. Instead, get this brand! Always smooth writing. Strong lead. Lead is perfectly down the center, so no breaking while sharpening!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are all that we use in our house. The kids use them at school and at home to do homework and artwork. We will not buy any other brand of pencil ever again. I love that they come pre sharpened and don't ever break.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I revived these in the mail and my boys immediately put them to use doing home work they’re pre sharpened and are very sturdy the tip doesn’t break easily I definitely recommend them and I just love the smell of wood pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these forever. They are the best non mechanical pencil that is made. They are strong and the lead does not break off. As you sharpen others, the lead continues to break off and you continue to sharpen more. This causes the pencil to be consumed faster and thus wasteful. These stand up longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that they were already sharpened although some of hem broke. They write and glide across the paper nicely. They're #2 so they can be used in school which is awesome. They are a comfortable size and nice and easy to hold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The #2 american wood logo pencils are smooth to write with and the lead is strong. I can use them while working and know that the lead won't break. The size of the pencil is good, and I can use one for a long time without having to replace it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for our needs! The classic yellow pencil #2. Always great to have a box around. I use for sketching, the kids for school and home work, the Ticonderoga American wood is handy for all sorts of tasks. My pencil is big and yellow with soft lead and easy to hold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are great. They sharpen easily without much waste. They write nicely without constant breakage of the tip. Very pleased with these pencils. Highly recommend. Great for kids to use in school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great quality pencils. So much better than the generic brand we have been using. They sharpen so much easier and break way less. I will definitely be purchasing these again and recommending these to friends and family.

Ticonderoga is the best quality for school pencils. They cost more than store brand, but the extra cost is worth the improvement in quality. Other brands break so easily, or you have to keep sharpening and sharpening, cracked lead falls out, etc. These are great.
