Are these good to use for 3 graders to use for school?

No, I think they still press too hard and will nap the lead. I also have a 2nd grade son and that's what he kept doing and he will be in that grade next year

My then-3rd grader used these successfully last year. He's hard on his pencils! I bought a special (good!) sharpener but would still rather use these, plus they're great to carry in a purse/tote since the lead retracts. Great if one kid does HW while the other plays sports, visits doctors, etc. As someone else wrote, skip the .5 mm lead and get .7 or .9

Yes and no. If your child loses pencils a lot (and they can add up in $$$$) this would be a great pencil for the $$. However, my daughter who rarely loses a pencil I buy her higher quality Bic pencils. My son who can go through a pack a week (who knows what happens to them) I buy him these pencils. The higher quality Bic pencils the lead is stronger and while writing won't break as often. But all in all I think a 3rd grader would do fine with these.

Yes, I would recommend them for 3rd gr use. The thicker .7 mm lead helps keep writing steady and does not break as quickly as the .5mm.

My kids used both these and the papermates and prefer the yellow papermates. But..Yes These require minimal dexterity.

I think so. My 6 year old and 3 year old use them on our climbing wall. You can also make it more challenging based on the grip of each climbing hold. I have an easier section for my 3 year old and a harder section for my 6 year old.

yes, They are definitely big enough for Kinder/1st graders. We use them at our afterschool sites for PK-6th and they work just fine.

My son's class has these for his computer class and they use them almost every day. He's in the second grade.They are very light weight and are not right at all. These are a great choice.

Both of my girls have them, but they are late teens. I would not think they would be best for under 7 or so, but I see another reviewer says her 3yr old loves them....

I use it in my 3 and 4 year old preschool classroom. It would be ideal for a Pre-K, Kindergarten or first grade room. You must put in a code for each slide so my 3's find that difficult, but they learn how to do it. You are limited to a finite number of slides and they are insects. You cannot use other slides with it, so a real microscope would be best for older kids.

I am a third grade teacher and I have these stacked and zip tied together to use as cubbies. They have held up remarkably to daily abuse and being full of books.

I bought them for my daughter's 4th grade class - they are not super small - but probably best on kids.

Yes. We use them in our children's department at church. They work very well.

ABSOLUTELY!!! They are PERFECT for a 6 year old. I bought 3 different sets for 6 1/2 yr old triplets and they all LOVED em. BTW...The set with the Zoo animals were a hit too. Yery good quality with nice thick peel offs can be peeled & repositioned a zillion times on any of the various "scene" pages. Great graphcs on the scene pages and the peel off vehicles & scene pieces. A great dealin my opinion. Enjoy !!

They would be a little big for preschoolers. We use them for elementary aged kids and they fit the 3rd & 4th graders best.

Yes. My 8-year-old enjoys these and they are fun tools for learning to gather and sort information as well as develop logic.

I think they would be great for school. They are fun to use, and reliably write the first time, every time. Good luck with high school!

3rd graders can do much more than we ever could. The UNO may also be a good option as I used the MEGA for a mechatronic project that had quite a digital and analogue points.

Not sure, perhaps it's a CPSC recommendation. Younger kids could use them just fine I think, but be aware that they are rigid and are not bendable or soft like a plastic straw,

I send them with my 1st grader and my 3rd grader, they have no problem. I think preschool kiddos would need some help.

I think they are as good for school as a ball point pen. For me, I write much neater with this type of pen.
