I’m looking for a recommendation for a larger pencil for a child first starting to write.

All the old farts out there probably remember the big red and green pencils that we were given as children when we first started to learn to write. I’m looking for something comparable that they use with todays kids.

I haven’t been able to find any larger sized pencils locally. I wanted to find some for Joshua and for myself. Easier to hold than the normal sized pencils.

I’ve seen “My First Ticonderogas”, “Laddies”, and “American Jumbos” online.

Any ideas which one is closest to what I’m looking for?

    I’ve got three kids, ages 8-17, we just gave them regular pencils. Have you checked Mardel’s? They’ve got a big homeschooling area so they might have the big pencils.
