Guest Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Can anyone recommend a pencil sharpener, suitable for thick and thin pencils, that pre-school children can easily use ? At the setting I'm currently working at they only have an adult one, and as soon as I start to sharpen the pencils the children want a turn and try so hard to use the thing (I even find this particular one hard work!) I would like to get one that they can operate. My son says he recalls seeing one that is transparent and that also collects the 'bits' ?
HoneyPancakes Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Have been watching this post with interest. I would have thought there would have been lots of fantastic advice given such a big role pencil sharpening takes in our lives. Maybe a business opportunity here. Honey
finleysmaid Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 we use the ones from consortium.they have clear bases and two holes ill see if i can find a link later....just have to go and make a birthday cake
Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks Cait, brilliant choice at Consortium... only trouble is I am agency at the moment and so don't have opportunity to order via catalogues - I suppose a wander in WH Smith might be in order.
Fredbear Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Have you tried looking in Staples, Office World.
Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I suppose I could borrow a 3 year old with some pencils and try the different sharpeners out
Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 My 2 love sharpening pencils - they would quite happily whittle all the pencils down to stubs - like Lotta in the Charlie and Lola episode.
