My First Ticonderoga, Beginner Pencils with Eraser, #2, 12/Box DIX33312

With a rich heritage, and origins dating back to 1795, the Dixon Ticonderoga Company throughout history has made its mark through quality, integrity, respect and perseverance. Today Dixon Ticonderoga continues to make its mark manufacturing and marketing writing instruments, art supplies and tools for self expression. You'll always remember your first Ticonderoga. The larger round size (13/32 Inches) and the smooth outer casing make it easier for little hands to hold. Preferred by teachers, My First Ticonderoga assists children in the early stages of their writing development skills. The thick number 2 graphite core is pre-sharpened for added convenience and features an extra large, latex-free eraser for clean, smudge-free erasing. The pencil finish contains Microban anti-microbial protection to inhibit the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria on the pencil and is PMA certified non-toxic. More than a writing and art products company, Dixon Ticonderoga empowers people to take conscious and subliminal thoughts, facts, ideas and dreams, and preserve them using tools that are simply extensions of themselves.
