I like their chunkyness but wondered if the ease of holding them makes it harder for the children to bear down on the pencil lead & create a solid mark ??
Now you mention it I had noticed that Jade's drawings with her chunky pencils are fainter than if she 'steals' her brothers pencils, I wonder if that's why??? Hmmmmmmmmm!
I have used them with my older kids but they didn''t really need them, my youngest is left handed and struggles to hold a pancil - i have just ordered some more and hopefully it will improve matters - will let you k now what i think.
