## Description

Learning to write is an important stage in every child’s development, but writing products sold today are not designed with kids in mind. The Paper Mate Handwriting triangular mechanical pencil for kids provides control for early writers! The #2 triangle pencil has thick 1.3mm lead for less breakage and a triangular shape that guides finger placement. Plus, bright barrel colors make handwriting fun.

Review: The best pencils - These are hands-down the best mechanical pencils I’ve ever used. The triangular grip is a total game changer — super comfortable, easy to hold, and perfect for longer writing sessions without hand fatigue. The thicker 1.3mm lead writes smoothly, doesn’t snap constantly, and is ideal for both kids and adults. I especially love how forgiving they are for handwriting. They’re great for anyone who struggles with fine motor control, grip strength, or just prefers a sturdier pencil (hello dyslexia/ADHD-friendly design 🙌). The erasers actually work well, and the refills are a nice bonus. Durable, comfortable, smooth-writing, and affordable — there’s a reason I’ve purchased these multiple times. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t go back to regular mechanical pencils after this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are they not offering the eraser refills?  I’m just going to have to throw away the pencil which defeats the purpose of buying this type in the fi**
A: These are disposable pencils. The eraser is a cap to hold the leads in the barrel and to advance the lead.  The extra leads given are a courtesy...but the eraser itself is too smudgy...use a less smudgy, cleaner eraser you can keep at your side.

**Q: How to put the pencil back together if the backend is pulled off and the spring is out?**
A: Take the metal ring and slide it all the way onto the small white part that grips the lead. Put this into the wider end of the other small white piece. Put the spring in the other side of this piece around the end of the smaller piece. Take the colored part off of the clear tube and put the tube in behind the spring. It needs to clip over the smaller white piece firm enough to hold it in place. Put the entire assembly in the thinner end of the pencil body and screw the end back on. Then connect the small colored end that holds the eraser on the end and replace the eraser.

**Q: Are colored leads available?**
A: Designed for kids!
Control to help early writers
Thick 1.3mm lead for less breakage
Triangular shape that guides finger placement
Includes: 5 triangle pencils for kids in fun barrel colors, 12 lead refills and 2 eraser refills

**Q: I never recieved my order at all. I ordered on september 4 2021. How can this be resent?**
A: Most items have a 1 month limit on when they can be returned or resent.  If you never received your order, contact customer service.  Probably nothing can be done as I type this in Dec 2022, but you never know.
