Toysmith Archie McPhee - Really Big Pencil - Write and Erase! - Use it at Home, School, Anywhere - 15"

This item is amazing. I got red, which was fine since I knew colors would vary. I wouldn't however recommend getting if you plan on using, or at least not long. I got for a photo prop, so it works fine, however there seems to be no way to sharpen it since it appears the tip is only lead and there's no lead inside. Worked great for what I needed it for.

When I got this giant pencil I was amazed at how big it was. The picture is deceiving, in the way that the pencil looks. I think the pencil looks a lot better in real life. Very cute. I'm going to order at least one more of these giant pencils. The color is not just yellow.

this was a cute gag gift for our boss at work except when we opened it the lead fell out. we had to scramble to get crazy glue to keep the lead in the pencil. That was a huge bummer but at least he loved it.

So this is a cool big pencil that boys and girls love. My only problem with it is the graphite for writing is super short and pushes back up into the pencil very easily. Do the kids still love it? Yes. But they are disappointed when they can't write with it for very long.

I am an art teacher. Sometimes the critique process stresses the students out some. I bought this pencil to do their critiques with to help lighten the mood of the critique process. My students love watching me draw with this giant pencil. The led is normal #2 pencil led, only thicker. The eraser does work, but tends to crumple the paper easily. It takes a bit to get used to the top heaviness of the pencil. But, it is a lot of fun.
