- Is the lead really #2 soft?
- Yes. These use Ticonderoga's #2 soft graphite, the standard grade for school and office writing. It writes dark and erases easily but dulls faster than harder leads.
- Are the pencils pre-sharpened?
- Yes. They arrive sharpened and ready to write, though you may want to touch up the tips before first use.
- What colors are in the pack?
- The barrels come in pastel shades including green, pink and natural wood tones. The exact mix can vary by pack.
- Is the wood certified?
- Yes. The wood carries FSC third-party certification, which means it comes from responsibly managed forests.
- How do these compare with classic yellow Ticonderogas?
- The core and wood are the same dependable Ticonderoga build. The difference is the pastel barrel finish, which is cosmetic and does not change how the pencil writes.
- Who are these best for?
- Students, teachers and office workers who want a reliable #2 pencil, plus anyone who prefers a softer-looking barrel over the standard yellow.
