Expert Commentary
“I have seen the challenges of finding the right pencils for preschoolers and hope to help others. Given the limited dexterity of these younger children, a larger grip area helps a lot. I also recommend more durable pencils given the challenging wear and tear of preschoolers. Sow the seeds of writing and reading early with pencils, and always use extra supervision at first.”
