You've asked for short pencils for kids, and now the perfect sized pencil for young students is finally here; 4.5" length delivers better control and promotes a more natural grip. Triangular shaped, oversized pencil (13/32”) is ideal for children in the early stages of their writing development. It is easy for small hands to hold and helps teach correct pencil grip, or for mature hands to aid in a steady grip. With a rich history of quality spanning over 100 years, Ticonderoga is the trusted brand preferred by teachers. The same spirit of ingenuity that fueled the creation of the very first Ticonderoga pencil continues to inspire innovation in our product line.
