Fun Express Valentine Pencils, Assorted Colors, 144 Count

This assortment is perfect for handing out to my daughter's third grade class in their Valentine goody bag. There are plenty of pencils to give each child more than one design or save them to hand out next year! I read where people had trouble sharpening them, but I was able to sharpen one using a handheld twist sharpener, and it worked fine. Each pencil has a plastic coating so maybe that caused problems while sharpening in some cases.

I purchased these to give to a children's hospital to distribute for Valentine's Day through a program. Pencils are a popular gift for this and the children enjoy them quite a bit. A lot of them like crafts and it provides something that they can do in their rooms. The designs are lovely and being able to order so many at once makes it easier to get enough for everyone to have one.
