Buying Guide

Choose size for your class

Large classpacks (hundreds of pencils) are ideal for school-wide rewards while smaller cylinder sets of 50 suit individual classroom incentives or smaller grade levels

Pick design types kids like

Options range from themed birthday designs to seasonal or holiday motifs; rotating designs helps maintain novelty for students

Consider scented vs. unscented

Scented pencils add novelty but check classroom scent policies and opt for milder, non-irritating formulations when needed

Look for classroom-focused packaging

Cylinder or bulk packaging keeps pencils organized for distribution and storage, reducing teacher prep time

Evaluate value per count

Compare price-per-pencil across large classpacks and 50-count cylinders to balance budget and variety for rewards programs
