Super cool pencils that don't require names!
The kids really love the unique colors of these pencils. They're really into personalization so this is an easy, convenient, and cheap way to have personalized pencils instead of paying extra for weak pencils to have a name or saying on them. The lead doesn't constantly break which is great for my heavy-handed girl! She can't wait to take them to school this year.

This is my favorite time of year, almost like Christmas, it's back-to-school supply sales!!!! I'm pretty much addicted to getting school supplies especially things that make both myself and my kids happy and excited about the coming year. After receiving these pencils in the mail my girls and I began checking them out right away and I have to say these are high quality pencils. They have very break resistant lead (I was actually trying to press down hard and break it) and the thickness of the lead help to keep the pencil sharper longer which leads to nicer handwriting! Also, the eraser actually works! I absolutely love colorful writing utensils because they make me happy so why would that be any different for my kiddos? They love the different colors and are actually EXCITED to write with them! My oldest was adamant that she give a set to her bff who is also going into Kindergarten! I'm very picky about what I use and especially what I endorse but these pencils have definitely made the cut! They are awesome!

I think that these pencils are really worth their money. Not only do they have super smooth writing texture, but they also leave a permanent color on paper.. The good news is, if a mistake is made.. There is an easy to use eraser on the other side of the pencil. Great product!

Super cool way to get kids to like pencils
These pencils are adorable! My step-kid loves to write his name and numbers. These are stronger and cooler looking than traditional pencils. I am very happy that he likes them as much as I do. The feel is similar to a traditional number 2 pencil but better. They write really nicely too.

My daughter was super excited when she saw these pencils! The colors were fun, and because it's a Bic product, I knew it would be a good quality product. My daughter presses down when she writes, and as a parent I love the fact that the pencils erase cleanly, and didn't leave behind pink smudges. Dallas is already planning on taking the coupons to school registration to hand out to her friends. She is planning on trading for favorite colors.

I would like to know if i had some to share with others.These are the perfect pencils for artsy kids. My daughter loves bright colors. She was supet excited when i got the package in the mail. She wanted to open them and took them out of my hand. I was like wait, let me look at them. She loves them but i think they are cool too. I am excited to write with them. It is like it lifts your mood. The lead holds up well and is sturdy just like the traditional yellow barrel pencils. #2 is perfect for school use and test taking.

The idea itself is great: plain traditional and mostly yellow #2 pencils can be boring. Occasionally, my kids get fun pencils in birthday goody bags, school events or even as treats" for Halloween

Bic Xtra-Fun Pencils rock. My son loved them. He is going to be in Kindergarten in the Fall. He thought they were amazing because they erased so great. All his mistakes vanished. He took the other pack and stuffed them in his new back pack. He didn't want anyone else using them. He is going to start his first year off right with Bic Xtra-Fun Pencils.

I like these fun pencils! I am a dive coach and I have divers from the age of 5 to 18. My little friends will love using these pencils to sign their sheets, I can't wait to use them. I also like the fact that they are more durable, I tend to have a lot of broken points with my little friends who tend to press a bit hard on the pencils. These are going to be a great addition to my coaching bag! I will of course have to leave one or two home next to my calendar to use as well!

Before I tried the product, I wanted to know what made them different from normal pencils. After trying them, both me and my school aged child were amazed at how strong the lead was, thus making it almost impossible to break and eliminating the need to sharpen as often!! The dual colors make these pencils a lot of fun and easy on the eyes, as opposed to plain old yellow pencils!! These are a definite MUST BUY!!

Best writing utensil for kids!
I just gave my soon to be kindergartener one of the BIC XTRA - fun #2 pencils and it was great watching her face light up. She thought it was so cool to have a big girl pencil and it be blue on top of that. I thought it was great that she practiced her letters for over an hour and didn't break the tip. These pencils are durable for the little ones and stylish for the older crowd, I would definitely recommend.

These are great pencils. My kids are loving picking colors to use to write with. They are super durable as my 2 year old usually breaks the pencil point of other brands in under 2 minutes. He hasn't broken the point once !! Neither has my 4 year old.

Bic #2 Pencil Xtra-FUN is a great product for kids!
I recieved my 2 packs of BIC #2 Pencil Xtra-FUN and 10 coupons today from BzzAgent. I have 4 little ones with 3 being old enough to write or draw. My 3 boys were EXCITED. They did think they were actual colored pencils at first but then realized they were #2 pencils that were just in cool colors. They liked this. My oldest son said that he could use these on math tests! I like that the lead is strong. Usually we can't get through one activity without someones pencil breaking but these pencils have stronger lead. Not one broke all day today and they have been writing, drawing, practicing letters, and drawing out a plan for a fall garden :)!! They were a winner in our house. We opened one pack and will continue to use these and will pack some for our son when school starts. The other pack we plan to hand out to our sons friends and their parents when we get together. We would buy these again. Thank you BzzAgent and BIC #2 Pencil Xtra- FUN! Love these!

So, the mail came and my daughter loves to check it. She was so excited to see what we got from The Bzzz...and super excited to see these pencils. Personally I don't get the hype, I mean they are not colored pencils, they just write like regular old pencils and pencils have come in all kinds of designs forever now...but my seven year old thought they were the coolest thing. I will probably buy them if she likes them. Anything that gets kids to be creative and feel unique is okay in my book.

We have always loved BIC pencils especially when they come sharpened. These pencils are super vibrant in color. The do come sharpened! They make writing Way more fun. Plus my kids who are really hard writers, meaning they really push down hard. They didn't break these pencils. That was pretty amazing to me. My son has sensory issues so he has to write really hard. But he never broke the light on these it was pretty awesome. The erasers are really nice also they don't fall out and get broken either. I would most definitely recommend getting these for kids for back to school !

In love with these new pencils.
I think these new pencils from Bic are fantastic. When my daughter first saw them she said Oooohh what's that? she wanted to pick out a bright color and use it right away. She only wants to use this pencil from now on. I love that they are break resistant. I scribbled as hard as I could trying to get it to break, but it never did. My favorite thing about it is the eraser. It erases so easy and it removes all of the marks. I will only buy this brand from now on.

I was very excited to be sharing a BzzAgent campaign with two of my three children. My oldest who is 12 will be starting Junior High soon and will of course need pencils but break resistant lead....even better. He was glad to see the different colors because as he put it regular pencils are just kind of boring". During the Summer he's been writing his own short stories for fun so I had him pick the pencil of his choice (he chose blue with red) and use that to write his stories with. After a while I asked him how he liked it and he said he especially liked how easily it erased. Over the years he's always had trouble erasing mistakes where it would just smear or end up tearing a hole in the paper. These pencils erase that issue completely :) He also usually presses down a little hard on pencils when writing and I'm proud to say his Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencil did not break one time. Break resistant lead

I think this is a great pencil. My son wanted to use them when he saw me take them out of the package. The break resistant lead is great for my son because he writes really hard and heavy handed. I was shocked that they didn't break and they erasers erase cleans than the traditional pencils. Latex free eraser and no toxic is great when you have kids who chew on pencils sometimes.

Kids Love a Little XTRA FUN!!
We were so excited to begin our first BzzAgent campaigns with something that is near and dear in our house....pencils! My 4, almost 5, year old was thrilled with the vibrant variety of colors the pencils came in. Immediately, he stated these are now his homework pencils. As a teacher, I work with a variety of pencil brands each year. The difference between these and the others would be the lead. Even when applying more pressure to write than the normal writer, the lead still did not break. The eraser worked well to correct mistakes and the lead was dark enough to read when applying various pressures. I would highly recommend these for anyone, however, even more so for your young hesitant writers that love color and kids with occupational therapy pressure concerns. Today, we are going to share out 2nd pack with a classroom of pre-schoolers! I'm excited to see how my sons class will react to these new, BIC XTRA FUN pencils!

Bic really outdid themselves this time. These pencils are for sure going to help kids want to do there work and make the grade all the while showing off these bright vivid colored pencils that sure do beat the old #2 yellow pencils I had to use in school to. Thanks BzzAgent for allowing me to try and review these for my honest opinion. My daughter loves them and we shared the coupons with other parents at our church. These pencils stand up to even my youngest child whom loves to do the same things her older siblings are doing, they erase with perfect ease and no smudges. Great job Bic

I think these pencils are amazing!!!! I have 1 year old twins who love to color and write but am always scared to give them pencils because I am scared they will break the lead and try to eat it! Well I put the twins their high chairs and allowed them to smash the pencils on the paper that I had places on their trays!!! To my amazement the leads did not break!!!! I thought it was pretty awesome!!! So I allowed to continue smashing the leads and coloring hard and everything else that toddlers can possible do rough to a pencil!!!! I let them color a good half hour and the lead never broke or even chipped!!!The colors really interested them.. My daughter kept calling them pretty!!!! I think these pencils may make this school year for many kids better and less boring!!

We always buy pencils for back to school but I tend to always buy the standard yellow #2 pencils for my kids. So when I showed them these colorful new pencils from Bic that they are going to pack for the first day of school, they were very excited. They loved the bright and vibrant colors! While they won't get to officially try them out until school starts at the end of August, they are big fans of them already.

My son loves that this pencil is break residents. The colors make it so much cooler than the boring old yellow #2. It's become my son's new favorite pencil to cursive write with. So excited to bring these to school this year. And for once the eraser really works. Usually when he erases it leaves black marks or the eraser breaks off. So far we r loving this pencil.

BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are Fun
I think the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are fun for kids of all ages! It's great that they're #2 so the kids can use them at school. With the pencils being such cool colors, kids will be more excited to use them. Instead of being boring old plain mustard-colored, they are bright, fun colors! It will be even easier to get your kids to want to practice their handwriting or math, because the pencils will be inviting to use; kids will want to use them. And face it, so would us adults. I may start using these fun pencils instead of a ball-point pen. I tried the pencil and they write just like a normal #2 pencil, but they look a lot cooler!

The lead is not so easy to break and it sharpens great! Maybe my boys will enjoy writing more and get their handwriting looking better.

Not their favorite pencils.
My kids do not like using these pencils. They do like the fun colors but the pencil lead is so hard you have to press really hard to use them. They also squeak annoyingly as you are using them. The only part they like is that they do erase easily, but on the downside the eraser is smaller than a traditional eraser. I will be giving away the coupons to my friends as I wont be purchasing more of these.

This is actually a great idea for making colorful pencils that are hard to break. I have a soon to be 4th grader, and let me tell you how many ones his pencils would break! Not to mention how he would use the eraser like crazy . I love how the pencil is harder than traditional pencil, it's sleek handling with pressure makes it a lot easier to work with.

After earning these pencils to try for free through bzzagent, I gave each of my kids one to try. The first thing each child noticed and liked was how vibrant the colors are. The lead is very strong which is a major plus on our family. The kids told me that they would like me to purchase this exact brand and type for school. So that made me have to test them as well! They are really nice. They do exactly as stated. My lead never broke as I was writing. ( I press firmly and lead seems to break easy on me) but this pencil held up well! I will def. purchase in the near future for my kids!

This is my favorite time of year, almost like Christmas, it's back-to-school supply sales!!!! I'm pretty much addicted to getting school supplies especially things that make both myself and my kids happy and excited about the coming year. After receiving these pencils in the mail my girls and I began checking them out right away and I have to say these are high quality pencils. They have very break resistant lead (I was actually trying to press down hard and break it) and the thickness of the lead help to keep the pencil sharper longer which leads to nicer handwriting! Also, the eraser actually works! I absolutely love colorful writing utensils because they make me happy so why would that be any different for my kiddos? They love the different colors and are actually EXCITED to write with them! My oldest was adamant that she give a set to her bff who is also going into Kindergarten! I'm very picky about what I use and especially what I endorse but these pencils have definitely made the cut! They are awesome!

I think that these pencils are really worth their money. Not only do they have super smooth writing texture, but they also leave a permanent color on paper.. The good news is, if a mistake is made.. There is an easy to use eraser on the other side of the pencil. Great product!

Thanks to BzzAgent I received some free Bic Xtra-fun #2 pencils in the mail and loved trying them out with my son and daughter!! Not only are they strong and sturdy, but they are colorful which adds a bit of fun to it! Not once did I have to sharpen a pencil or see that one had been broken! The erasers also worked excellent. My two year old always bites the erasers off the it he pencils..she bit then off but I was able to just pop them right back in!!!! I would definitely recommend these fun, safe, awesome pencils to anyone!!! I was very impressed!!!

My little brother and sister are PUMPED about these pencils! Who knew a kid would be so exited about writing utensils? what you need to know before purchasing this product, is that they're a little difficult to write with. It takes a good amount of pressure to get the right satisfaction of how you want to write, otherwise, its a really good product. Unlike old pencils, or other, hard, stiff erasers, this pencil eraces a lot easier. (And I know that's a huge pet peeve to some!) I couldn't help but to tr for myself and I definitely approve!

My 3 and 7 year old boys were excited to find their favorite colors in the package. Once they ripped open the package and took them out they liked how the pencils were flexible. However after writing with them and realizing that they were just normal pencils they didn't really care about them anymore. Also one pencil rolled off the table and hit the floor and the tip of the pencil broke completely off. Overall we felt there was nothing extra that made these any better then other pencils.

My children have tried these pencils for everything from scribbling, to writing letters, to drawing. My youngest, the scribbler, absolutely loves the colors of them, even to the point of crying when I had to take one away. I, of course, love that they are easy to erase whenever she scribbles on something that she should not, and that they are harder to break than other pencils that we have tried. My five-year-old is using them to write her letters and is super excited over the colorfulness of them. They have made writing more fun for her, which means that she is wanting to do it more often. I, of course, love this because I want her to be excited about learning. The break-resistant lead is also coming in handy with her because she is still learning how hard to press and sometimes presses a bit too hard. My friend's daughter, who is 12, has been using hers to draw with, and really likes the way that they are working out for that also. The hardness of the lead allows her to vary the shading according to how light or hard she presses. Even my 16-year-old got excited when she saw how colorful these pencils are! All-in-all, a great experience so far!

First Impression: THEY LOVE IT!
The kids helped me open my BzzAgent package (ok, maybe not helped, more like they tore into it and didn't give me a second to help lol). I told them that the package was for them to test and they were excited. That excitement continued when they saw how colorful the pencils are. They each took 1 pencil out of the package, then split the rest between their backpacks. The lead is super strong, the colors are fun, BIC hit a home run with this one!

Back to school is next week for my kids, and when we got these pencils yesterday, my kids were SO excited. They're super colorful, the kids love picking out which colored one they want to use, and I love that they're unbreakable. My youngest will start kindergarten next week, and as we all know, the younger ones have a tendency to press down really hard when writing, and the lead breaks easily. Not with these pencils...these are super strong and last a long time and the tips don't break off. So far, we love these pencils and will continue to buy and use them! I really have nothing negative to say about them--they're great all the way around!

Ok so at first glance I'm thinking fancy 'colored' pencils! Well no they are fancy COLORED regular pencils and my 5 year old was just as excited as I was to open them up and try them with their fancy erasers"! They write with regular lead not colored lead. They sharpen with ease and smoothly; none of that tattered mess some cheap pencils have after being sharpened. And the kicker for me the eraser works! I hate an eraser that leaves smudges on my paper and does not erase!"

I've been having trouble getting my 5 year old daughter to stay interested in writing and learning her letters, numbers, etc. These pencils did the trick! She was so excited to test them out when they came in the mail. At first she thought they were colored pencils but wasn't disappointed to find out they were just regular pencils because now she can use them at school. She opened one box and the quality seems to be just as good as the regular ones. Wrote great and erased just as well. She enjoyed them so much she felt the need to open BOTH boxes already!

These pencils can catch anyone's eye ! The shape makes it easy even for little hands to hold, with the sleek design you can fit 3-5 pencils in a side pocket. I found drawing with these pencils nice due to the lead being soft yet won't break with a little pressure. My granddaughter loves all the colors . the downfall would be that younger children do tend to think they are colored pencils instead of regular ink. I would recommend these pencils to age school children.

My kids love these pencils. My kids push hard when they write, and these NEVER break! They are super sturdy and my kids were very excited when they first saw them. They are excited to show them off at school too ;) The erasers do well at erasing even the bolder, darker lines and marks, and they seem to be very well tacked onto the pencils. This is good because my kids are really rough on their pencils and erasers. They are very strong, well-made, and break resistant. Excellent quality and the colors make them super fun.

When we were waiting on these pencils to arrive, I couldn't help but wonder.... Are they going to be sturdy enough to withstand use by my 5 & 13yr old boys. Are they ever, these pencils totally exceeded my expectations!! Not only are they sturdy, they also came in colors that my boys LOVED!! Who doesn't like a fun bright pencil! We pulled these out as soon as we got the package and tried them out! My boys loved the awesome erasing capabilities, much better than your standard pencil!! We will definitely be purchasing more of these!! Thank you BIC for creating a kid tested mother approved awesome product!!

A product kids can get excited about!
We received these pencils in the mail yesterday. I showed them to my daughter, Lauren and she was so excited. I had to remind her that we are going to save them for her to take to 1st grade in September. Since we received two packages she of course wanted them both. I had to tell her that her brother would want to have a package of cool pencils for his first year of middle school. She decided that it is definitely better to share! I am sure they will both be very happy writing great stories with the help of these #2 pencils. As a parent of a 1st and 6th grader I am looking for quality and durability in the school supplies I am purchasing. Bic is a leader in the office supply industry and I am confident that these pencils will live up to my expectations. I will surely share the coupons with other moms in my group so they can get them for their children. Great product!

They are very smooth to write with, erase easily and we put them through a breaking test that they passed wonderfully. It took a lot of effort to break the pencil and when it did it broke in an even fashion, there were no sharp edges like with most pencils. I also likes that what holds the eraser is plastic versus metal. I would highly recommend these pencils.

They definitely feel different than regular pencils. Another added cool bonus is there are labels for education points on the back. How cool is that? The colors are cool.

I create hand-painted signs for a living and part of my process involves using a pencil to create the lines for me to paint. I used this new Bic pencil on a sign yesterday and it was a lovely experience. I love the colors, that makes working a little more enjoyable. I really like the octagon shape. Most pencils I use are round barrels and they don't feel quite the same. My daughter starts VPK this year and we've been working on her handwiriting skills. When she saw the pencils she immediately wanted to try them. She chose the color she liked and spent a good 30 minutes just drawing and writing at our dining room table. I would highly recommend these pencils! If her school requests pencils be sent in, I will be purchasing theses.

My son goes through pencils like candy and we found these to be tougher than your normal #2. The lead is much more durable and harder to break. I love how they are different too and less likely to get lost" at school. I would highly recommend these pencils for back-to-school! I loved handing out the coupons to the moms at open house and they thought they were great. I did tell them I got them through BzzAgent for free."

I think bics extra fun pencils are exciting for children to get to writing and drawing. They are colorful, certified non toxic pencils. They're ultra solid break resistant leads. Easy to sharpen, easy to erase with latex free erasers. They're also durable long lasting erasers. Although my daughter is only four I let her get creative with bic xtra fun pencils. She said that she liked the new pencils" and she was drawing flowers and hearts. I give them a 10! They are much better than boring yellow pencils that we are used to. Comes in a variety of colors and great for kids."

Bic X-tra Fun pencils are cute!
I think the Bic XTRA fun pencils are absolutely darling. The two color combination really makes them different from other brands on the market. These are definitely pencils that my daughter will enjoy using at school. I also like that the lead is very hard to break and will last for the duration of whatever writing project she is working on. Overall, this is a great new product!

My daughter was thrilled when the Bzz packet arrived in the mail! She immediately was ready to do some testing! She loved being able to choose what color of pencil she wanted to write with even though the lead is all the same color. The break resistant lead was her first test...it didn't break till she put as much pressure as she could on the pencil against cardboard - not paper. So a big A+ there! The BEST part she said was the eraser!!! She gives it an A++++. She loved that it erased without leaving any marks or smudges. Overall, the Bic Xtra Fun Pencils are a huge hit!!

I think that Bic #2 XTRA-FUN Pencils are a great addition to any child or adults school supplies or office supplies. These pencils come in some bright colors. The lead is break resistant which make it great for in class use and test taking. They are very easy to sharpen so you don't have to spend a long time at the pencil trimmer. I prefer these pencils over any others I have used in the past.

I think these are amazing! Most schools in our area clearly state solid colored pencils are the only pencils allowed in class and to be sharpened." Pencil design was a big deal to me as a school kid and it is to kids today too! These pencils allow kids to be compliant to school rules and still have a little fun in their day! They sharpen nicely with a manual or electric sharpener. My heavy handed 6 year old didn't break the lead when trying them out and they were very excited about how "good" the erasers work!"

I think Xtra-Fun pencils are a fun and creative writing tool. Both of my kids ages 7 and 10 liked the look of the pencils and described them as cool!" They are excited to use them at school. The design is neat from the two-toned barrels

I think these pencils are great! My child loves the fun colors and the soft touch when holding. The smudge resistant eraser is always a plus. We love that the lead does not break easily. This makes for faster homework time since we do not have to sharpen the pencils often.

With out reading the description, they look like colored pencils. My daughter however thought they were the best thing in this world and just had to write a story' with them. This is a wonderful Imagination starter for kids. I will definitely be buying more. And the lead really is a lot more sturdy then the normal boring pencils lol."

Love the break resistant lead!
My son normally loathes writing and drawing. He is left-handed and bears down hard on pencils, breaking lead constantly and annoying the class with multiple trips to resharpen his pencils. We've only had these 2 days, but they are clearly standing up to the test. My son smartly pointed out that he won't get his pencils mixed up with anyone else thanks to the cool colors, and he found his favorite Christmas" pencil with red and green. He's already asked to draw today with them. Anything that encourages him to express his creativity is a must-buy in my book. And since he will not have to sharpen his pencil as much

Just got my pencils yesterday, perfect timing as the kids go back to school in a week, and I love the colors on them! It's neat to look down and see the wacky color combination. I also like how I'm not going to break the lead as I'm writing. However, possibly because of the break-resistant lead it feels like it constantly needs to be sharpened. The writing doesn't feel as smooth and doesn't flow across the page as I think a freshly sharpened pencil should. Saying all that, I would buy them just because of the colors and how they won't be breaking the lead every time they get sharpened.

BIC Extra Fun- #2 Pencils
I think theses are so cute!. What a great impression when I first opened the package. My kids love them. My 4 yr old says Mommy look I'm coloring with a cool rainbow pencil. Can I ask Santa for more?!" I personally love how appealing they look to kids and how smooth they write. Before Buying this product I would've asked myself "Is it worth it?" My answer is YES. And I will definitely be buying more packs for back to school."

What I would want to know about this product before I got it would be what are the advantages of buying this over any other pencils. I think BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are a great idea! They are so colorful and not just ordinary. They make writing more fun. I actually find myself wanting to write with a pencil more than usual just so I can use them. The lead is also very strong and doesn't break very easily which means less sharpening and longer use. Also, if someone were to take my pencil, I would know right away who it was. Fabulous product!!

When I first got the email that I was going in on this campaign I was so excited just because of the bright colors, but then I received them. And not only are they bright and fun but they are actually heavy duty pencils. My girls are hard on pencils but these have strong lead and should last awhile.

Six Kids and Awesome Pencils
First of all, I love these pencils because they are #2 and that is what the school requires. But my kids love them because of all the fun colors! When I tell them that it is time to sit down and work on their handwriting they are not moaning and groaning anymore! They are running to get in line first so that they can have first pick of the pencils! The break-resistant lead is also fantastic. My two boys are usually sharpening their pencils every few minutes because they are too rough and these pencils hold up fantastically. These pencils have definitely been helpful when it comes to getting my kids to do their writing!

I received my package of the Bic #2 pencils yesterday, when I opened it up I had all 3 of my kids standing around waiting to see what was in the package (they have received toys and other fun items) when they saw it as the pencils they couldn't wait to try them out and they love them!! They all asked if this is the pencils they will be taking to school this year. They liked the different colors and since they each have their own favorite color it was easy for them to choose which pencil they wanted.

* I have to confess that at first I thought they were just as common only with colored pencils. But really I was wrong. They are not the same. I have no bad opinion. I can only say that my daughter was delighted. He liked even more pencils and colors. He liked that first impression look like crayons. And to me personally that notes that are durable and resistant. You do not have to use much the look sharpener as it remains hard pen tip. I recommend it, I love it.

These pencils came in the mail today. I showed them to my two daughters, who proceeded to rip open the package to use the pencils right away. They are very cute and allow my girls to express themselves (should I use the pink one that makes my shorts?!)... And MY favorite part- they erase easily and completely. So often with pencils, I am disappointed in the eraser attached- whether it leaves a mark or just doesn't erase--- making homework look sloppy.... these pencils do NOT have that problem! The only thing I would want you to know before buying these pencils is that they write like regular pencils- in that they are NOT colored lead. My youngest daughter was a little disappointed with that, but still loves them!

My son was excited to receive his Bic extra fun, double colored pencils today. He is preparing for his first year at kindergarten and cannot wait to take his pencils. They're strong and durable enough to outlast my 5 year olds heavy hand and erases with ease. Message me to try them and receive a free coupon compliments of bzzagent!!

My kids are so excited!!!
My kids can't use mechanical pencils in elementary school so they don't get excited about picking out #2 pencils for school. But when they saw these they couldnt wait to tell their friends there's a #2 pencil out there besides the boring yellow ones everyone uses!!! The pencils seem easier to sharpen with a more even point than typical yellow #2 pencils and they come already sharpened which makes packing their pencil box for the first day of school even easier for e!

Finally, a tip that doesn't break!
My sons always have problems with the tips of their pencils breaking, but not with these! They love switching up the colors and it makes practicing their sentences more fun for them. The eraser works well and they are plastic, but very sturdy. I brought some to work and used it today. I have to admit, using the colored pencil (purple is my favorite) was fun to write with.

It's a fun looking" pencil. Period."
I am testing the pencil while at work. So far the pencil does not glide smoothly while writing and feels...heavy". It does easily erase but it would still leaves traces of the lead on paper. I had to use my pink eraser to get it all completely clean. Good thing is that the lead is actually dark on the paper; I do not always get my old pencils to have a darker lead trace on paper. That is a big thumbs up for this brand! The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencil is a fun looking

My kids love to express themselves with their favorite colors so these were a big hit. As soon as we opened the mail they took the ones they wanted and spent an hour using them. As a mom, I love that no matter how hard my crew tried to break one it DIDN'T happen. Even after the eraser was pulled out I was shocked to find that with a little effort it went back in. We love these pencils!

Before you get this product, know that one pencil will last a long time so there's no need to stock up on so many at a time. Each pencil is very long. I think one pack of 8 is enough for a whole year. My daughter gets so excited every time she uses these pencils. She loves the pink one most. I love how she would change from pencil to pencil while doing her homework! She's so enthusiastic about doing homework when she uses these pencils! I also love how clean the eraser erases. My daughter makes so many errors on her homework and it's so convenient to have an eraser that can erase cleanly with only 1 to 2 strokes. These are very high quality pencils made in France and unlike other #2 pencils, there are no metal pieces in it! I would definitely recommend!

Well I love the appearance of the pencils my eight year old was excited to open the package. I watched as he did some work and noticed that the pencil didn't break when he got a little upset and bent it, the yellow one would of snapped. The pencil was just a little bent which I loved because my son beats his pencils up regularly. My only issue was that the eraser came out pretty easy and I thought I could put it back in but it was difficult. Other than that I love Bic Xtra fun #2 pencils. I recommend it especially if your child is rough with pencils like mine.

The ultimate back to school pencil.
The BIC XTRA-Fun pencils finally arrived and my children were so excited to open the package. They immediately began claiming which color combinations were their favorite and wanted to start writing. They sat for hours drawing and writing loving every second of it. My favorite part was that not a single lead broke the entire time. My children are young and regular yellow pencils are constantly breaking. My oldest also would complain that her hand would get sore holding regular yellow pencils but using the BIC XTRA-Fun pencils she didnt complain once. I loved not having to sharpen pencils every five minutes and my children loved writing with the brightly colored pencils. These are definitely a must have on our back to school shopping list this year.

Finally they will not break
My son is a real HEAVY writer so he is always breaking the pencil leads. The BIC XTRA pencils have been through some force from him and he has not broken the lead yet. Just to test how strong it was we did different test, needless to say it took hitting it with a hammer to get it to break. I am so glad he has pencils he can use now that will not break on him easily. He loves them!!!!! Not to mention the colors are awesome, he enjoys the different colors on them.

For some reason, writing with colorful pencils just makes it more fun. These are exactly like the Bic plain ol' yellow #2 pencils, sturdy and well made. I always buy Bic pencils because of the quality, the erasers hold up and the pencils stay sharp.

Of course I was happy when I checked the mail and i saw I got my package from yall. I opened it not knowing if it would be cheap pencils or not. I was glad to see they were bright colors and the led looked sturdy. I showed my kids and they wanted to use it right away. My 9 year old is tough on pencils so I was wandering if the led would easily break. It didn't. I was glad. I have kids in elementary, middle and high school and they all want to use them.

My four year old has really had zero interest in learning to write. However, I offered him a choice of these pencils and let him pick the color he wanted... and he actually wrote his name without a big fight! He was disappointed that they did not write in different colors at first. The he realized they were big boy" pencils and was excited to get to use them."

I think Bic #2 xtra fun pencils are just that..Extra Fun!! I was super excited to get the opportunity to try these pencils and involve all 5 of my 6 children in on the fun and see how they feel. When we got the pencils, they were so excited and said those are so cool. They all wanted the package for themselves but unfortunately we were just trying them out so far. They were happy to choose there favorite color or color combination. I noticed right away that my two youngest boys wanted to actually draw with them instead of using there crayons for the day!! There pencil kept them entertained for at least 2hours with drawing, doing there ABC's, and they even doodled a picture for daddy!! My daughter loves to write and was thrilled that these pencils did the job. They were strong, the lead did not break on her over and over like regular #2 pencils did, and they sharpen well with a pencil sharpener and do not hack the pencil apart, down to nothing. The eraser actually works, she said. Meaning it got all her mistake" off completely and no visible marks. She can't wait until school starts to show all her friends these cool pencils in middle school and be the first to have these pencils. She said all her friends will be carrying these pencils around. My two teens were happy. Not bouncing up and down but they were thrilled to know that they had a reliable pencil that is #2lead that they will be allowed to use for all testing. As teens there is a lot of testing in school and you don't need your points breaking throughout them. These are cooler they said cause they are colorful and not boring and they don't have to buy a pencil at school that usually don't even work right. They usually used the mechanical but will be switching now because of the cool colors. The ordinary pencils are not so ordinary no more. Finally as a mom

I am an elementary school teacher and I am super excited about these pencils because I know that my kindergarteners are going to love writing with these awesome pencils! Although I am excited about BIC XTRA-Fun pencils, I wasn't sure how excited my 12 year old son would be. When he first saw the pencils, he immediately said how the green pencil is his favorite! I had him write with one of them and he said that he really liked the way the lead was very smooth on the paper. I told him that I would let him take some to school. His response was that he planned on giving each of his friends one! I thought that was pretty funny!

A pencil is a pencil...but these are definitely an Xtra notch above! The colored barrel is a cute gimmick, but the lead writes very smoothly. The pencil is a bit flexible so I expect this to be a bit more durable and not break in my kid's bag. They also sharpen fine on the first try (unlike some cheap pencils that just keep breaking.) Erases cleanly

I think these pencils are great for the kids in school. I have an 9 year old daughter and a 6 year old son, and they tend to push down really hard on the pencil to write and these seem to hold up and do not snap the lead and need to be sharpened every time they have to use them. Makes doing homework a lot faster and smoother for them and me.

Got my free two packs of colorful BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils yesterday, and just in time for school!! I always love when a company doesn't skimp on their sample, so thank you BIC for providing a full set of these (and an extra pack). My son is starting kindergarten so he is super excited, although not so much about the homework part. As soon as we showed him the pencils, he was ecstatic and wanted to do homework" - I happily obliged

My daughter loves her pencils. She's 4 and about to start Pre-k. I like them because she's just learning to write her name and she presses so hard that regular pencils break. Not these, they're great!

Fun take on a standard pencil!
This is a fun set of pencils. The wood has been dyed one color and the outside of the pencil is another color. It makes it a little more fun to use and definitely more difficult for someone to accidentally (on purpose?) walk away with your pencil. The lead is a #2 which makes it easy to write with and the erasers are fairly standard and easy to use. I usually find I run out of eraser earlier than pencil but that is true of all pencils. I just keep an extra eraser around for the end of the pencil and all is good.

4 year old tested and approved!
I got the pencils 2 days ago. My daughter saw them and got super excited asking if she could use them for her daily lessons. Of course! We habe been using mechanical pencils and she often struggles to keep the lead from breaking so I was hoping she would have less problems with these pencils. The following day I pulled out her lesson book and she asked if she could use the new pencils. I said yes and she wanted to try the orange one first. (Orange is currently her favorite color at the moment) she got to work in her lesson and her first comment, mommy the pencil isn't breaking!" She was so excited that she didn't have to worry about it. When she made a mistake

Bic XTRA Fun Pencils Review
I love the color of these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! The barrels are two tone and the lead is unbreakable which is perfect for my three young boys! They said they cant wait to show them off in school! :) The unbreakable tips mean the pencils will last longer and you wont have to always buy pencils

With two children I always need extra pencils. This is a perfect package to have in your emergency supply. School is going to start and I need a pencils. The pencils are colorful on the outside but perfect #2 lead pencils on the inside. I like that erasers are latex-free and break-resistant.

I think BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are the way to go this school year. My daughter hasn't picked up a pencil the entire summer, and had been playing on her tablet instead. I got my BzzKit in the mail with my free pencils in it and my daughter immediately started opening one of the packages and began drawing me a beautiful dragon picture. I used one of the pencils to write my grocery list out and the lead writes so smooth and is so strong, I wish these fun colorful pencils were around when I was in school. They are so cool looking, and high quality, I'm in love! #GotItFree

I got these in the mail and I couldn't wait to try them out! However my kids got to them first! they loved the colors ands were 'drawn' to them immediately (no pun intended!). My kids put them to the test thoroughly and I am pleasantly surprised at how durable they are! My kids usually go through pencils quickly and we are constantly sharpening them because the lead broke. But with these Bic Xtra Fun Pencils they haven't broken once! When I did get them away from my kids I was impressed by how smooth they write and how well it erases. These will defiantly be on my back to school shopping list this year!

When we first got these I thought oh great just another pencil with color added to it. But NO!!!! These pencils are cool they are bendable and even with heavy writing or marks they erase completely I was amazed . We bought more so that our daughter could take some back to school. I would highly recommend these and they well worth it.

Bic XTRA Fun pencils are making writing fun again
I think that the bic xtra fun pencils are amazing. The minute I picked them up and opened the package my kids were all over them. The bright two tone colors make them really cool looking and something that my children will love to take to school and show off to their friends. I have a 4 year old that is just starting preschool and he went to put some in his back pack so that he would have them for school. The thing that I find the best is the extra strong lead. They really are break-resistant. My 4 year old son is very hard on pencils and would break the lead several time while trying to write and color with the old pencils. However we have had these for 4 days and he has used them every day and not one broken lead! These pencils are amazing. Will definitely recommend to friends!!

My kids loved the pencils then just the ordinary yellow color. The eraser works great and the lead is very strong. The only difference I think is the actual color of the lead between these and regular pencils. I received this product for free thanks to bzzagent.

Colorful - But not the Best
I love the colors of these pencils and I get what they are trying to do... the kids and I were super excited when these showed up.... That's about it. The pencil lead seems very soft compared to other #2 pencils - it doesn't write with fluidity at all... like a drawing pencil, not for writing. These are fine for around the house - making a list, or letting the kids draw. I can't use them at work because the lead is so soft it makes a super thick clunky line - i can't write with precision or use in a form that needs to be clearly written. Super Bummer -- i love the look of these, but they are too soft for my taste.

A great pencil, even for preschoolers...
I have a 4-year-old son in preschool, and a 5-year-old daughter who will start kindergarten in September. They are working on their fine motor skills and beginning handwriting, so pencils are great for practicing these skills. We usually use plain pencils for this practice, but then I received these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils in the mail. My kids were so excited about the vibrant colors, and we put them to use for fine motor time immediately. These pencils have some great qualities. First, I have to say that they are very tough. The packaging boasts break-resistant lead, and the pencils deliver on that promise. My kids were not easy at all on these pencils, and they used every one of the pencils without any lead breaking. Overall, I would say that these pencils are tougher than most others we have used. Second, the colors are great and the kids love them. Personally, the colors do not matter much to me, but the vibrant, two-toned colors are a big plus for getting kids excited about writing. Third, it is a #2 pencil, and this is very important for test-taking. I have seen other pencils with fun colors and designs, but most I have come across are not #2 pencils. Overall, my kids love using these pencils and I could not find any flaws with them. I was so pleasantly surprised at how the lead stood up to my kids' rough use, and I would recommend these pencils to any parents.

I received these free from Bzzagent for my honest opinion. When they first came I wasn't overly impressed at first glance but after opening the package my opinion changed. Other than the obvious colors some of the improvements the lead is strong and holds up to more pressure than the original #2 pencils,the eraser not only works better but it leaves less residue and shreds on the paper without tearing the paper up, the pencil sharpens easily with a couple turns of the sharpener and doesn't break off fast again, and they have a two toned color barrel that makes your writing look strong,,dark,beautiful, and whimsical all at the same time. I found them to be great to write with. I shared them with my neighbors little girl for school. Her Eyes lit up with excitement even though they are regular number 2 pencils. Will buy again.... Thinking of buying for my classroom.

I was very skeptical about these pencils. But after trying them with the kids, I couldn't ask for a better pencil, not only are these pencils sturdy but they have awsome vibranty colors.. I know kids all over the world would enjoy these. So toss you are plain Jane yellow pencils and stock up on Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencils..

the new must have" item at our house!"
I was surprised at how thrilled my kids were to see these colorful new pencils! They were lining up to complete some of their summer work (a rare sight) in order to choose and use their new pencils! They loved having a selection of colors and there was a choice to satisfy each of my 3 children in just one pack! I loved the quality of the lead. With three children in school, I have become somewhat of a pencil snob" in that I am willing to pay the extra for lead that writes smoothly

My kids are super excited with this two tone #2 pencils. The thing that made it interesting for them was the color they each grabed 2 pencils with different colors and just started writing there names and drawing .Love that the lead is real strong and when sharpening pencil it was fast ,didnt waste the entire pencil. I also found the mistakes where very easy to erase...The two-toned barrel does get there attention its not the same yellow color. Highly recommend these because my 3 children really like them..

I didn't think I'd be so excited by pencils. The look fun and colorful and we were all pleasantly surprised. My kids used to get stuck on yellow #2 pencils despite any attempts to change their pencils. Now they are eager to try these out for back to school.

Bic comes through big time with these pencils and I would want to know that before purchasing. Love these pencils and their uniqueness. My son presses hard when he writes which has been a problem at school. These pencils hit the mark with their toughness. The eraser is wonderful at removing everything written and does not turn black like regular erasers and cause smudging. Teachers will be surprised the kids aren't using colored pencils to write with. I have shown them to all my friends and they are impressed and going to purchase both for the durability and novelty. Thank you Bic.

A great way to motivate kids with fun!
Everybody already know that Bic has great quality products but this goes to a whole new level. The pencils write as well as you would expect from a Bic pencil. The lead sharpens well and doesn't break easily. It erases cleanly, so that's a plus. The real value in this product comes with the fun factor. I've got five kids, four of whom are in school. If I can motivate them with a little extra pizzazz, I'm down. Anything to make back-to-school and homework more tolerable is all right by me!

Wow! These are really nice pencils!! Not only are they fun colors, but they function in the way this momma wants!! I typically purchase the higher end pencils for my three kids for school... Although they cost four times as much, the lead doesn't break when sharpening and the erasers are top notch. These great priced, great quality Bic #2 pencils are right up there with the best in quality! Actually, they surpass them! Because finally I can buy my kids the fun and cool" pencils for school and feel confident these will function in the way I expect! My four year old hasn't broke the lead yet... And he is a sharpening mad man!! I also tested the eraser as my pet peeve is when erasers break off... I gave it a go and these really hold up! I also love a distinct pencil so when my kid drops there's at school

After Second Thought-adult use
Okay so when I received these of course my boys tested them out. Well kids (some) simply love writing, drawing and scribbling. I tested these out by bringing them to work with me to help with all of my writing tasks. On first thought of course these are beautiful pencils. But are they actually great? Simply put, no. I am very used to DARK writing no2 pencils. These failed that test for me. They wrote tooooo lightly. I had to press down a little too hard to get desired look. Here is a pro: they erase so clean! I don't think I would purchase these for my boys school use since they are in elementary school and still learning writing skills.

My son is starting school in a few days and he's been excited about picking out all his new school supplies, but everything has to be perfect and cool". These new BIC Xtra-fun pencils were a hit! He loves all the different colors and he's already testing them out! They seem more sturdy than regular #2 pencils. He's been drawing for about an hour and the lead hasn't broken. That's important with a younger child. All in all

I didn't even get to open the envelope they definitely made my kids enjoy writing more if you notice in my first review my daughter had ripped it out of the envelope and immediately started writing on the back of it. A few minutes later her younger brother came out to see what she was fussing about and he had to join in. I just love the fact that the lead is hard to break! All the colors for the kids. Just think of the money you are saving when they are not breaking the lead for you to constantly sharpen down to nothing. Let alone all the time you are saving when you have to sharpen the yellow ones every time they break them.

colorful and attractive pencils for kids
I was wondering, how good are these pencils? I got my answer when I received it. It is by far the best pencils my kids have ever got. My kids were so excited to see the colorful pencils. They think that it looks so cool due to it's color. The colorful pencils actually makes my daughter want to do her homeworks more without me telling her to do it. Lol, when I gave her the pencils, she was so happy and took it to go and do her homeworks right away. What I like most about these pencils is that the pencil lead hold up pretty well. My daughter has been doing her homeworks for 30 min now and she haven't come and tell me to sharpen her pencil like how she would had done with her others. The lead haven't break once (not yet so far). The eraser works really well too. My daughter was able to erase the mistakes that she makes on her homeworks without leaving any pencil marks behind. I'm really happy to get the chance to try these attractive colorful pencils. I will be buying more for my kids soon. Thanks bzzagent for this great experience. Nymph color

My kids loved the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! The two-toned color barrels had them excited from the beginning to write, which is a challenging task! The white eraser worked wonderfully and didn't leave a smudge on the paper. The quality of the break-resistant lead was as good or better than any other pencil my children have used. I was elated to see the kids sitting and writing on their own!

I gave the coupons to my sister in law who is a teacher and she was thrilled! I gave one package of pencils to my son and told him that he could chose who to share the other package with, he chose my niece! She's 10 and this is write up her alley! They are so excited, they love the colors & we love the BIC quality, I've been talking about them to all my mom friends because my kiddos love the colors and want to do their workbooks just so they can write with them! I remember having pencils like this when I was a kiddos and I couldn't wait for school to start just so I could open them up & write with them lol!

My mom gave me these and they are way better than the generic. They have better color, don't streak, and don't smear. I'm so glad she signed up for BzzAgent. I look forward to more activities. No smearing and not having to buy more because the cheaper ones run down so quickly. I deffiinintly will buy these again and again.GREAT job mommy. I suggest these to all students for the next school year.

My son loves these new pencils and is super excited to use them in Kindergarten! He has already enjoyed drawing and writing with them. The lead is very durable and I enjoy how smooth they write. I shared one of the packs with all of my co-workers and they also enjoy the pencils. They were very excited about the two colors and some couldn't decide which color combo to pick! They are stoked about using the coupons I shared. They were also very excited to learn about Bzzagent and all it has to offer. The pencils sharpen nicely too! You will love these pencils too! I would recommend these pencils to anyone

Both my girls were super excited to try out these pencils. They are an assorted motley of fun colors with contrasting colorful inner wood colors. The actual pencil seems to be a high quality wood with a hard lead on the inside. The kids noted the different eraser holder that is a plastic tube that held firmly to the eraser which cleanly removed any mistakes. Gone is the frustration of sharpening a pencil to have the lead break and then having to resharpen the pencil. We enjoyed using these pencils and will get lots of use!

I am a leftie and have always had trouble with pencils breaking. I have yet to break one of these and I've tried! The eraser is so smooth and works great. A bad eraser is a huge pet peeve of mine! Nothing looks works. Kids of all ages like them because of the colors. #BICXtrafun #GotItFree

I tried these pen c is this week with campers. They were very excited about the colors! It really did make them more excited about doing a writing activity at horse camp! That being said, 2 of the pre-sharpened pencil points were broken off in the package when I received them. They were easily sharpened, no big deal. The erasers are very small and held on with a small plastic cap, rather than traditional metal. The lead shade is very light. Too light. These pencils do get children excited to write.but I think once the novelty of the color wears off, it's a cheaper end pencil. For the school year, we'll be sticking with Ticonderoga, boring yet reliable, strong, yellow pencils.

These Bic XTRA-Fun # 2 pencils are awesome for kids. The lead on the pencil is easy to sharpen and last longer than any other pencil. The eraser doesn't leave behind residue from the eraser and leaves paper nice and mark free. The best thing is got two packs absolutely free!?#?Gotitfree? ?#?bzzagent?

Everything is better in color
With summer almost over and school about to start, pencils are on every child school supply lists. As far as I know, the only good quality #2 pencils out there were just the plain regular ones. The pretty colorful ones with patterns and colors are usually really cheaply made, don't sharpen well, the lead breaks easily, don't erase, and kids are to push really hard on their paper to be able to get nice dark letters. Then comes the new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils to make it all a little funner and better. They sharpen well, don't break off, strong, no sticker that peels off, the writings are easily visible and still erases like a breeze. Good stuff. Kids love everything in colors, and those pencils will be a great addition in classrooms, pencil boxes, prize boxes, birthday treats. My boys were super excited to try those and now they can't wait to start school with their new pencils.

I brought these pencils to work today because I was tired of writing with stubs...we all know what that is like. These are so cool!!! You ever notice when you are writing and the lead gets dull and the letters get fatter and then you have to sharpen the pencil...well these pencils don't do that. It's like the lead doesn't wear down. I would buy these in a heartbeat.....and as far as breaking ...well I tried that as well....no such luck.

When I received the BIC XTRA-FUN #2 PENCILS in the mail the first thing my kids said when they seen them was ooh" and "aah". The colors capture a child's attention. When school isn't in we still use pencils often drawing pictures. Plain pencils can be very frustratingId when they break all the time and we find ourselves trying to find a pencil sharpener often. We haven't had to do that with these XTRA-FUN pencils! We will never buy another plain pencil!"

LOVE SMOOTH WRITING AND EASY ERASING!!
I have had my kids try out the BIC Xtra Fun #2 pencils!!! My son in Kindergarten loved them and so did my almost 9 year old daughter who actually commented on how easy it was to erase!!! They were both very impressed with the fun colors. Though my 10 year old son thought it was a colored pencil at first and told my daughter while she was writing that it wasn't writing green. He was very impressed with the colors though after he found out it was a pencil!! My daughter is bragging about the fact that she gets the FUN COLORFUL pencils to bring to school with her and they get the hard to erase boring YELLOW pencils! My daughter writes very hard and was also very excited about the fact that she didn't have to run to the pencil sharpener 100 times in a half an hour! These pencils are definitely worth every penny you would spend! Thanks BzzAgent for giving us the chance to try out this awesome product for free!

I love these pencils, I do not care what others think about them. I was going to give them to my kids but decided to keep them for myself. I gave my kids each one and they love them as week. They love writing now!

I think this are great pencils. Kids like different colors and they can get bored pretty easily. I think adding different colors to the pencils and having a white eraser instead of the traditional pink eraser makes them super unique. These pencils can also look great in my office.

Start off this school year with this amazing product
I was at work when the package came, but my kids opened it any way. When I walked through the door I wasn't greeted by my children, instead I found them playing with the colored pencils peacefully, unlike anything I've seen in a long time. They loved the product and I couldn't be happier. They can use them anytime, they are, safe, easy and fun

I received these free via BzzAgent. My hopes were to help my 6 year get more excited about writing and improve on his penmanship. That's exactly what these pencils have done! He absolutely loves them! They are easy to write with, sturdy, and all and all they are awesome! The bright colors do catch the eye for sure. The lead seems to holding up well to my son's strong hand when writing. He loves them, he chooses these to write and draw with. I must admit, they are the pencils that I reach for too when I need a pencil. :)

Awesomely Awesome New Bic #2 color pencils
We just got these new Bic #2 color pencils in the mail and Bryson my 5 year old son opened them up as soon as we got them out of the mailbox . We really enjoy the style of them and the colors of the pencils really appeal to him. He's starting kindergarten this year and is demanding he takes his new cool pencils. Thanks to Bic writing will be way more fun. They are fun, bright, well made, easy to use, strong lead.

My daughters were so excited when they saw these pencils come in the mail. The colors alone are enough to make them excited about using them and going back to school with their new supplies. They also work great and seem like they will last a long time without breaking. Bic has a great product here!

My kids love these pencils!!
We received BICXTRAFUN-Fun#2 pencils free from BzzAgent !! My kids loved them! They were excited to use them. The colors are beautiful and vibrant! They are better than the traditional pencils , because they are harder to break! My kindergartener used the same one without sharpening for quite awhile! The eraser on it seems to work a lot better than the yellow pencils! It is a great pencil and I am definitely going to stock up for the school year!

This picture is one my 9 year old daughter drew. She erased many times and you can't tell where! That's one of my favorite things! The lead never broke AND it hasn't needed to be sharpened yet. But I sharpened anyway and it was super easy and quick to do. No tricky ways to hold the pencil so it sharpens correctly!

Easy to sharpen, hard to break!
These pencils are awesome! I have a teenage artist who loves them! There's nothing more frustratingId than having to stop your work to sharpen a pencil that breaks time after time. You don't have that problem with these bright colored durable pencils. In fact, I bought four more packs today!

I thought these were colored pencils despite the package clearly stating that they are #2 pencils. My bad, but in my defense, its hard to see past their bright colors. I can see these as being useful when it's important to keep track of which one belongs with whom, like at a children's table. I can also see them as useful in identifying who stole your pencil at work. They do seem to be break resistant with no annoying chips at the tip when writing. That means that you can sharpen them to a very fine point without fear of breakage. It also means that you have to interrupt your writing less often to sharpen. The lead color does appear less dark than a typical #2, but just barely. In all, they're just pencils. They don't make my coffee or do my laundry, but they do seem to break less than standard ones. So if the price is right, I'd buy them again.

BIC XTRA FUN #2 PENCILS MAKE SCHOOLWORK FUN!
I think these Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils are pretty darn amazing. As a homeschool family, pencils are one school supply that are ALWAYS in demand! The problem is, we tend to go through them super fast... and that's where Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils are making a huge difference in our family! Not only do the Bic Xtra Fun Pencils hold up for my six year old who always pushes way too hard and snaps the tips off of ordinary pencils... but the Bic Xtra Fun Pencils are super easy to sharpen. I HATE pencil sharpening because the ordinary pencils always crack, or the tip will be too loose after sharpening and fall right out the first time we use it, but the Bic Xtra Fun pencils sharpen quickly, without any breaking or loose tips! I was skeptical about the eraser because it looked a little weak, like those ones that just break off in the middle of erasing something, but so far, they are holding up great and erase cleanly as well. The icing on the cake, is the fact that the Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils really are fun to use and my little one actually ASKS to do schoolwork, just so she can use her new, special pencils. I won't be wasting anymore money on inferior brands. We are a BIC family for life!

These pencils are cool, was my sons first reaction to seeing the Bic Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils. They enjoyed writing with them and immediately replaced their regular yellow #2 pencils that were in the pencil pouch with these. I needed to write a note so I decided to try the fun pencils. Although they say break-resistant lead, the tip of the lead broke as soon as I started using it. BUT it didn't break the whole lead, just the tip, so I was able to continue writing. All in all we enjoyed the pencils and best of all #gotitfree

My 8 year old grandson was so excited when he saw these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! He loves to draw and creates awesome stories. At first glance he thought they were colored pencils but soon realized they were regular pencils. We wondered how in the world did they make them two-toned? These pencils make drawing and writing really fun. They write smoothly and erase cleanly; as Kobe said Nana

I think these BIC pencils look terrific. I hope they are right about the lead being hard to break, because my boys are tough on their pencils. Both my boys are looking forward to using these, esp. for schoolwork. They are always in need of more pencils because the ones they have keep breaking or they lose them. Please these are cool looking with the different colors.

Awesome new take on #2 pencils.
These are so cute. My grandson saw them and begged for some for school. He said they will make school so much more fun. I know I can write lots and lots of great things, if I just had some of these cool pencils. These are wooden pencisl, but the wood around the lead is colored contrasted to paint outside to provide a nice color to brighten up the activity.

Doing summer school is never fun. Trying to get my teen to finish her work has not been fun. As soon as she saw the new Bic Xtra Fun Pencils she actually did her work without complaint. She had fun writing with the pencils. The only problem was some of the pencils in our pack was not sharpened too much.

Don?t be afraid to be colorful with BIC's new XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. They may write like ordinary pencils, but they?re the only #2 pencils with two-toned color barrels, making them perfect for your child to express their cool, creative self. Writing is a critical learning tool for children, and they?ll be excited to let their imagination run wild once they get a hold of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! They are a strong pencil with an even stronger lead and not to mention they kept my child's attention for hours...This is going to make home schooling so much easier this year a must have < 3

So excited when we got our first package in the mail to try out. My daughter's were very eager to open up their pencils and get to writing and drawing. They first noticed how nice it was to erase one of their mistakes and it actually erased, and without ripping the paper. They had nothing bad to say about this product, and I agree. We as parents are always looking for what is best for our kids, and in a pencil, Bic #2 xtra-Fun is the best.

These pencils write by themselves!
I think these pencils are great, and would be fun to the school aged children. They write very well, and I have yet for one to break -- I'm rough on my pencils! They sharpen very well, they don't have fragments of wood break off like other brands do occasionally. BIC brand never disappoints and their quality of always on point! :)

Fun and classroom friendly
My kids love these pencils. They are colorful and fun which my kids love; and they are #2 and classroom friendly which I love. My kids can use them in class and still show their fun side. The pencils write clearly and erase fully. This is a plus because my son tends to erase a lot when he is doing his homework. The price is a little on the higher side so it is hard to buy the full amount their teachers are requesting. My kids will at least get one package each when school starts.

My kids love to write notes to me, and to each other. These pencils really made it fun, they liked the choice of writing with a fun looking pencil and I love the strength of the pencil. Great quality product, the tip and the pencil itself are really strong and really took a beating from my young ones just learning to write! I didn't think that there would be any difference when I tried this pencil, but there is. It's so much stronger, and you feel it right from the first handstroke.

Colorful and fun looking, but...
These are colorful looking pencils. They draw a lot of attention with the bright colors. However, the color of the lead was a little dull looking and they did not write very smooth. I felt like a had to use a lot of pressure in order for the lead to show on the paper.

Okay how awesome are these pencils! They look like colored pencils, but are actually #2 standard pencils! Plus they are two toned added to the fun. My youngest is quite the artist so he likes having unique items in our craft bins, the BIC EXTRA FUN #2 Pencils are just that! My oldest goes back to school in a few weeks, I have a feeling my son is going to love using these at school!

My children really loves these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils, they write smoothly and erase really well. The bright colors add fun and excitement while writing and drawing. The break resistant leads hold up to smaller children pushing too hard on lead. These are really great fun pencils for anyone whether you have kids or not. They are reasonably priced as I ended up buying several more packages for school.

We loved these pencils!! The lead is super strong . The erasers erase clean, and don't leave any mess at all. The kids are so excited to start school with their new, colorful pencils. I'm sure they will last a lot longer because the lead doesn't break, so no need to keep sharpening.

I received my free sample in the mail. Since then these pencils are the only ones my 2 daughters want to use while doing their homework. The bright colors on the pencils are amazing and they pick which one they want to use each time. I have tried them out and really like the non breakable lead which I had to use alot of force to finally get one to snap. So I know I have no worries with my daughters using it since they are still learning how to write still. I also bought some for my daughter to go to school with. I know for sure that I will probably only buy these pencils from now on.

This is a great pencil. Often when we have found fun #2 pencils in the past that are not the standard yellow color they have not been a quality pencil. The lead would break to easily or they do not sharpen correctly. This is not the case with the pencil. This pencil writes very nicely and my kids love the colors. It will make back to school fun to have something new to use.

Motivated my kids to get creative
I have 2 children a 8 year old and 5 year old girl. Both of my kid were excited when our Buzz mission came with the new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. My went right to doodling around creating her favorite characters on paper. My son has been using them two learn cursive writing. Its nice to have a pencil that is fun for them to use but also durable. My sons has already asked if we could buy these fun pencils for school this year. I will most definitely be buying plenty of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 for school this year! Can't wait to discover what other creative ideas they create with their new pencils.

Doing some summer writing activities with my almost first grader, he said that he loves all the colors. And will ask for them when wanting to write and draw. My 2 year also loves to draw and with her learning to use pencils, she is a little rough, however with her pushing down hard it didn't break! That's a plus for us.

once I got the product I immediately had my 4 year old try it. While they look cool with all those colors my kid got confused and thought they were colored pencils. Once she learn they were just regular ones with cool colors, she was then okay and loved them! My one year old broke the eraser off of one and I haven't been able to put it back in, it keeps falling. The quality of the lead isn't a good one in my opinion. The way they flow it's very slow compare to other pencils. Hopefully I'm explaining myself well. When I write with them I feel like I'm being held back from writting faster. The eraser does a normal Job.

The kids loved the neat two-toned color of the Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencils; I had several kids that couldn't decide on the color they wanted because they liked them all! I loved that the eraser was latex free for all the ones with sensitive skin. The pencils were fun to use but I really didn't notice that big of a difference in the lead quality. The lead seemed just as easy to break as the other pencils tried. Still, a great pencil for school, work or play.

My 13 and 10 year olds were stoked about the colors of these pencils! Since most #2 pencils are boring and plain. My only concern is that they write a little lighter than a normal #2 pencil. I just hope they will be allowed to use them in the classroom.

Great Way to Get Kids Excited About Writing
These pencils are really neat. I gave them to my boys, ages 12, 10, and 8 to try. They were so excited to get to writing. As a teacher and mom-that sounds great to me! I love that they are colored and look different than the other pencils so the boys have no trouble knowing which pencil belongs to them. I can tell that the lead is better than the traditional pencils that we usually use.

I have always trusted the BIC name and when preparing to buy back to school supplies for my kids, both they and I were thrilled with a Bzzkit that included pencils. I have to say after trying them out, they work as well as other quality #2 pencils. The double colors were definitely a novelty but the kids were over that novelty pretty quickly. I have found that they are not grabbing for these pencils over other ones in the house after that initial first try. From a parenting perspective, they sharpen well and don't break too often but these are things that I would expect from any BIC product. The double color is just a different look but I don't find them to inspire the kids to pick up a pencil any more often.

Awesome pencils! My kids were thrilled with how cool they look and I love the quality! They have great erasers, that actually work! We have had other brands of pencils with really junky erasers & that's the most important part to me because my kids are young and make a lot of mistakes while writing.

Not What I Thought but Still Good
When I received these pencils I thought they wrote in color but they are regular lead with colored barrels. They write smooth and erase fine. The flexible barrel felt weird to me and the lead color was a little light. My daughter likes them though. She likes how colorful they are and how strong the lead is. I received these pencils free from BIC for my honest review.

I was super-excited when my first BzzAgent product came in the mail. I love how these pencils write, you'd think just a pencil, right? But these just seem to glide on the page. My kids are excited that they are not the plain old boring yellow #2s. I LOVE that I can sharpen these without losing half of the lead. They sharpen to a perfect point everytime. I can't say that about pencils I've used in the past.

I love the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! Who wants boring old orange pencils when you could have pretty colors? They don't do anything special but they work just as great as other pencils, except look pretty. The eraser works great and they lead doesn't break. With these pencils, you don't have to choose between looks and quality. You get both in 1 pencil!

I was a little unsure when I first opened the XTRA-Fun Pencils. They looked super colorful and appealing, but I wasn't sure if my children would be disappointed that they were not actually colored pencils. I'm happy to report that there was most certainly no disappoint in my house! My son was just happy to pick out the boy" colors to use for his random activity books and writing

As soon as I opened my package up I saw these cool colorful pencils. They made excited and I wanted to write immediately. It had the same effect on my 5yr old. As soon as she saw them she asked for a piece of paper and began writing her name and ABC's. They were so comfortable to write with we drew and wrote for almost two hours. Before I brought this product in the store I would have wanted to know what made it different from all the other pencils but I quickly found out watching my daughter that the fun colors and made her and I excited to use them. They are great pencils.

Fun pencils that do not break
My 5 year old son loves these pencils. He thinks they are cool because they are bright and different colors. I love them for him because he has yet to break the lead. That is way more than we can say from using other pencils in the past. They are fun and very durable. I will definately be using the coupons and buying more of these so that I never have to use any other pencils. It is worth the money to know that my child is excited to use them and write and so that I do not have to worry about them breaking.

I love the new designs, my kids love how colorful and unique looking it is. The erasers has definitely improved, doesn't rip the paper when erasing anymore. For those that like their print to be dark, this is not the pencil for you. The lead is much stronger as it also tells you on the package. Great for drawing!

Makes writing fun and works well
I think the BIC XTRA-FUN #2 pencil is a great invention. No longer is there that stigma that writing is boring because of the old traditional yellow pencil. Now you can be inspired to write just by looking at your new bright, two toned barrel pencil that is fun and trendy! The break-resistant lead pencil is perfect for those of us that have a heavy hand and often break the tips. Problem solved with the BIC XTRA-FUN #2 pencil. This pencil has proven to be perfect for my 6 year old who is practicing daily how to write!

Colorful fun Pencils get a 100 at our house
I think these pencils are the best pencils I have ever used. Of course the fun colors made it fun for the kids that I handed them to, but when you used them they were so awesome to use. Writing with them was even more amazing. The lead did not break or create residue when writing. It was smooth and beautiful. I definitely am sold and will definitely buy these pencils again! Thank you bzzagent for giving our family a chance to enjoy something so amazing! My daughter can't wait to use these at school!

I almost didn't sign on for this campaign because I thought 'pencils? Really? My son isn't going to get excited about new pencils'. I couldn't have been more wrong. He was totally excited to see the new pencils and shared some with a friend already who was also 'over the moon' excited to see them. They are very bright and colorful and seem strong.

As soon as I opened the kit and pulled out these super cool pencils they disappeared right out of my hands. My kids were so excited to try them. They have them packed in their back packs ready to take to school with them next week. That of course is after they tried all of them first.

The pencils were so fun for the kids. When we got them in the mail they could not wait to try them out. Other kids that saw the pencils want to have them also. It makes writing fun with the 2 color barrel. It's great that they are like other pencils so that they can be used in school. When I get school supplies they want me to get some more of these pencils.

My daughter (age 6) loves these pencils. She thinks the colors are awesome and loves that they feel just like a normal pencil they're required to use at school, just colorful. I personally have noticed they don't seem to write as smoothly or dark as other standard #2 pencils. They work best on more porous paper, nothing smooth like computer paper. It may be because they came pre sharpened, I'm not sure. However, I would consider purchasing them again just because my daughter enjoys using them on schoolwork.

I would want to know if this product is durable before I get it. My kiddos LOVED the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! This is just in time for school! They were very excited to write with them. In fact, my daughter asked repeatedly if I had anything more for her to work on so she could write with the pencils! They are extremely durable and the eraser works perfectly! They write smooth and erase smoothly! She was able to sharpen it on her own without jamming the sharpener as well! These are definitely the pencils I will be buying and promoting from now on!!

Kids have their own colored pencils
I give these colorful #2 pencils a five star ratingId. My kids love them , so do I. Now its much easier for them to do work or draw because they actually enjoy getting different colors which is easier for me. They have 5 each of pencils so they won't fight anymore lol other than that its great that these pencils for the most part made a difference .. Because the pencils don't break as easy .. So its pretty nice..

My kids loved the pencils. The fact that the pencils are so cute and aren't just yellow pencils get the kids very excited about HW. They get super excited when it's time to pick the color they're going to use and the best part is the break resistant lead because there is nothing more annoying than having to sharpen a pencil over and over again.

While the kids were slightly disappointed to realize they don't, in fact, write in different colors, they still choose these pencils out of the variety in the pencil stand. They're definitely stronger. My oldest writes extremely firmly at times and hasn't broken a lead yet. The box says they erase more easily, but they seem average to me.

So fun but had doubts at first though
Well first of all when I received my package with the BICXtraFun pencils one of the pencil's lead was already broken. So I was doubtful that they had ultra-solid break resistant lead. After my son tried the pencils, we loved them! My son presses on the pencil too hard when he writes so I know be breaks the lead on pencils constantly. But with these pencils it didn't break! I even gave them a try and I could feel how strong the lead was. We also loved how the eraser erases easily. It doesn't create a mess on the paper just smudging everything. Overall great and fun pencils! I would definitely recommend these.

Super fun and great eraser power
Have you ever had to take a bullet marker test and couldn't fully erase an answer on it and it counted as wrong? I have and I wish I had these pencils when I was in school. The work great, stay sharp, and erase any mistakes easily and completely. Great overall product and super fun to use because they are so colorful.

Great Pencils for all ages
I think these pencils are going to be a huge hit this coming school year and it will make a statement with all the kids. The are super new and comes in a variety of cool color combinations. The pencils really do stand up to what they claim to do and have. I have bought many pencils for my kids in the past school years just to find that the lead breaks easily, the pencil will not sharpen correctly and they end up with half a pencil by the end of class and school day, or simply that my older kids do not want to use a pencil with smiles, etc all over them. These pencils are not the standard boring yellow pencil that every kid used to have. It is the same quality though but much nicer with the colors, sharp lead, and an eraser that actually works and removes the existing error not just getting it lighter but still seeing it through the paper. The eraser lasts longer and you don't have to press down as hard. It is nice to know that you won't tear or rip your assignment. They are good pencils to have for the kids but I also purchased a few packages to have for phone calls and making out the store list. My kids are happy to help out with making the lists for me while using these pencils. The make great pencils for any number of task from writing to doodling to jotting things down or for sharing and stocking up for the kids. These pencils are a great value for your money and I am sure you will have them for a long time before having to purchase another package of pencils.

Not your fuddy-duddy #2 pencils!
Just received the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. I got them free to test as a BzzAgent. These BIC ZTRA-Fun pencils are certainly not the boring yellow pencils of my school days. Or even from a couple of years ago. They are multi-colored--the barrel is one color, the wooden tip another, and the eraser yet a third color. If these don't make kids sit up and notice, I don't know what will!! This review is based mostly on looks alone. I have just used the pencils a couple of times. They write smoothly. I will take some into work and pass them out, as we use pencil all the time. It will be interesting to see if everyone agrees that these are the coolest pencils ever!

Back to school shopping is always fun. This year it is more of a challenge because we don't have much money. It is actually a little worse then that, but thankfully I blog and that has helped out with some of the things the kids need. I like to let them choose a few fun things to have that they don't need but are just fun. That was a bit harder this year but we were able to get a few surprises for them, including these new Big Xtra-Fun #2 pencils. They work like they say, they sharpen well, the leads don't break, erase easily, and are super fun for the both the children as well as myself. Yes even moms like to have cool writing instruments from time to time. Who couldn't use a little Xtra-Fun in their day?

We love Bics xtra-fun#2 pencil
My daughter absolutely loves them. She was so excited when I pulled them out of the package. She couldn't wait to start drawing with them. Now she carries the pencil and paper around with her. I think alot of kids going to school will really enjoy using these pencils. They are durable, colorful ,and write so well. They defintely excite the kids to start writing. Since my daughter is only 4 she tends to be a bit rough with pencils, these seem to do really well for her

This product is pretty great. When my daughter saw the packaging she was very excited to get writing with it. I told her that the lead was suppose to super strong so don't worry about breaking it, so she decided to test it and pushed super hard on it and was very excited it didnt break. The colors were nice and fun for her to express herself, its even fun for her to sharpen as the color twirls off. Its easy to hold and to write with just as any other pencil but the lead is stronger then I've seen before.

Before getting this product, knowing that my children might argue with each other over who gets them would be helpful. My older two kids both got a pack for back to school and are super eager to use them. My oldest opened hers already to use on summer homework and she said they were very easy to write with and that even the erasers were perfect. No smear lines, and the pencils are really sturdy as well. My five year old was attracted to the bright colors and couldn't keep his hands away from the pencils. Overall, I would definitely recommend these to anybody who wants pencils that can do their job as pencils efficiently and fun! Totally buying these in the future!!!

I think the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are super fun, I love the colors! My son presses really hard when he writes so the break-resistant lead is holding up just fine. The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are very flexable too, so I don't think they will break in half very easily. Thank you #BICXTRAFun and #BzzAgent we #GotItFree

I was surprised when I got these pencils, first they were colorful and fun so the kids wanted to play with them right away. They felt different from regular pencils and are more flexible then a regular pencil. They do feel different when they write, but the points don't break. We use lead pencils at swim meets because the regular pencils break too much. I got these right before a meet and we used them for the whole meet and the next meet, not one point broke!! I certainly will invest in more of these.

My son could not wait to try these pencils out. He always breaks the lead in other pencils so he wanted to give these a try. He drew a picture with one and he really liked the pencil. He said that it wrote very smooth and evenly. I even tried it myself and I did really like the way it glided across the paper. He also liked the fun colors. He is excited to use these at school. We had to buy another pack while doing school shopping and the coupon made it very affordable. I think we will be buying more!

Way more excited to do writing.
My kids absolutely LOVE these! My 5 year old likes to pick her favorite color to do her practice for school. No fuss, no whining, just excitement! Before I tried these I was unsure if it was still normal pencil or if it was color writing. It's still a no.2 pencil which most schools prefer your child to have, that's a big plus! I will most certainly be buying more, not just for the kids bit me too!!!

Loved BIC Xtra Fun pencils.
The two toned barrels sparked the senses of my 4yr old and 8yr old. They both wanted to open the packs immediately and try these pencils out. So we did! The break resistant lead held up against my scribbling 4 yr old. The eraser worked without smudging the paper. The only negative thing I have to say is that the pencil itself seemed a little flimsy, but it hasn't been an issue yet, so they are super excited to get these to school and try them in a classroom setting.

Before passing a couple pencils off to the kids I tried them out on my own to see how they held up. I have to say these are pretty sturdy pencils and I haven't had one break on me yet. The kids were overjoyed when I handed them the pack of pencils and we're impressed by the color alone. The 12 year old only slightly disappointed in the fact he initially thought they were colored pencils and then was even more impressed when he realized he could use them in class. Overall this pleases kids and kids at heart due to the colorful design and durable pencil.

I am happy there is a durable and reliable pencil out there that is not the same boring yellow. There are plenty of fancy pencils with cool designs but so far I have found none that work well. They break too often, don't erase well, break when sharpening which defeats the purpose of sharpening in the first place. I am also happy they are #2 so my children can use them in school no problems. My daughter like that she can get her work done and not have to worry about her lead breaking. She also noticed that it does not smear all over her paper like some have in the past. She was not too thrilled with how they look compared to some other fancy pencils she has but she even realized at only 7years old that they work much better and she reaches for these now when it's study time.

These pencils are great for all ages! I recieved two packs one for me and my kids to try and I gave the other to my 9 year old niece. She absolutely loved the colors! I was curious to see if the break resistant lead would hold up to my firm pressure when I write ( I can feel the writting on the back of the paper lol). To my surprise it did! They were easy to sharpen too. Erasing was easy and effective no left over smudges. Love that it came with coupons because i will definitely be buying them in the future! Thanks!!

Excited to Go Back to School
My daughter, who is going into 8th grade, was so excited when she saw these pencils in my BzzKit. I was going to share them around, but she wanted a whole pack to herself to take back to school and give out to her friends. She loves the colors and can't wait to use them. She writes stories on her own at home, so she has been trying them out. She carefully picked the purples out to use for herself and I see them left around the house with her notebooks. She is excited about writing at home and about using them for her math class at school. I was really surprised that a middle schooler would care about the pencils she uses, but works for me! Simple and inexpensive!

Not your average #2 pencil!
These pencils are so much fun! My daughter tried to steal all of them but I was able to keep one for myself. At first I thought they were colored pencils at first glance but they are a normal #2 pencil with a little pizazz! They make writing more fun...we never want to go back to using a boring yellow pencil again! The eraser even works great--that's usually my gripe with other pencils!

When it comes to pencils, I don't like very many. The lead breaks too easily, the pencil feels too rough, the grip is not smooth. But with the new BIC two-toned pencils, everything writes great! They sharpen easily and I'm not having to constantly sharpen them because the tips broke. Their colors are pretty cool too!

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils, fun but not my favorite!
I think the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils look great! They are colorful and an attention getter. I brought the packs to work and handed them out. I used the pencils for over a week. TheBIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils get the job done, but the lead writes lighter than I prefer and I found myself wanting to press down harder on the pencil to write darker. I got similar results from my co-workers who agreed to test them. Great looking, but not as functional as desired. The eraser works great, no issues there.

These are great pencils, my son really loves them! It encourages him to be creative. I love the fact that the lead is break-resistant! My son is notorious for breaking pencils. He and I certainly love the fun colors as well, they look way more interesting that the old boring yellow pencils. Overall I am very happy with them and everyone that I gave coupons/samples to seem to really like them as well! GO BIC!

Received my bzzkit, kept one for ourselves (daughter age 16) and gave the other to my great niece (age 7). Both kids were very excited to try these pencils. Because I told them the lead is break-resistant they both tried their hardest to break these pencils. The teenager failed in breaking it but the 7 year old did break it but only because she jammed it into an incorrect sharpener (operator error). So far they are very happy with these pencils and plan on taking them to school and try them out further. They enjoy the two tone and are happy to having pencils that are not boring"!"

These pencils are great for all ages! I recieved two packs one for me and my kids to try and I gave the other to my 9 year old niece. She absolutely loved the colors! I was curious to see if the break resistant lead would hold up to my firm pressure when I write ( I can feel the writting on the back of the paper lol). To my surprise it did! They were easy to sharpen too. Erasing was easy and effective no left over smudges. Love that it came with coupons because i will definitely be buying them in the future! Thanks!!

I think these pencils are very fun looking! My kids were very excited to use them as well. When they started using them we noticed the wood was very flexible. Then when they were writing with them they just broke. I was disappointed with them.

Excited to Go Back to School
My daughter, who is going into 8th grade, was so excited when she saw these pencils in my BzzKit. I was going to share them around, but she wanted a whole pack to herself to take back to school and give out to her friends. She loves the colors and can't wait to use them. She writes stories on her own at home, so she has been trying them out. She carefully picked the purples out to use for herself and I see them left around the house with her notebooks. She is excited about writing at home and about using them for her math class at school. I was really surprised that a middle schooler would care about the pencils she uses, but works for me! Simple and inexpensive!

I must admit even as an adult these pencils are fun to use. They spark conversations and in a lot of cases astonish kids! They just can't believe its a pencil! What I would want to know before purchasing this product is that the lead is dull it doesn't have that sharp dark pencil mark you would look for for sketching

I sent my son to school with the Bic Xtra-fun #2 pencils. The teacher thought they were mechanical pencils! His friends loved them so he gave a couple away. He didn't have a problem with the lead breaking on these. Last year he had problems sharpening and writing with the standard yellow #2's. He is excited to use these new colorful pencils this year and I'm excited to go out and buy more for him!

No more plain Jane yellow...
These pencils are super fun and the kids love them. We saved a couple just for school instead of using the plain Jane yellow ones they usually use. My kids of course have their favorite colors and they will be so upset when they are used up. They write great and they inspire the kids to draw, write and in general be creative. A Great Product!

My son is going into fourth grade and he can't wait to show off his brand new pencils at school. My daughter got one of the packs (she is about to turn 4) she loves them too. She likes to practice writing, and drawing her shapes. I think having the two toned colors is really cool" to the kids and it is always fun to have a colorful pencil that is unique. I personally love that it is still a number 2 pencil so my son can bring them to school. The break resistant tips have seemed to hold up really well for us so far."

Tyler love his new Bic Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils
There's no doubt about it. This is the best buy for my son's new school year. He hates to write. Being autistic he feels that his fingers feel rumbley" when he writes. This is the third day we've had the Bic Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils and he has picked it up by himself to write every day. The pencil writes smooth. Erases well and since it's not made of wood it feels better in his grip. This is a must have for the new year. Run out and pick yours up before their gone!"

My kids loved these pencils. My girls are kindergarten and 3rd grade and at this grade level they are required to bring pre sharpened pencils to school. When I showed my kids the bzz agent pencils they were so excited. We opened a pack and started using them at home writing and practicing before school starts next week. We gave another pack to a friend who has a little girl who is 8 years old and she was super excited as well. The lead has not broke, the kids enjoy the colors. We actually went out and bought a bunch for school. These definitely make using pencils much more fun then the plain yellow.

Tough, good looking pencil.
This is a good pretty colored pencil that is very tough! I have twin boys (red team &blue team) they quickly picked up their color and was drawing away. They don't know the term be easy, but the pencils never broke! I don't have a pencil sharpener but I haven't needed it. Good investment for younger children.

These pencils are actually of color. They do not write in color but they a full of color. My daughter first laid eyes on these and her eyes got big and could not wait to use them. I'm trying to get her writing better and with these pencils looking the way they are as the led as strong as it is, you can't go wrong. My daughter loves them and they are able to withstand her heavy handness when it gets to that point. I can see myself buying these in the near future for her while she is in school and practicing at home. I even love them myself.

These are very eye-catching in the package. They are not colored lead pencils; just brightly colored outside and inside. Still just #2 lead used. I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy and durable the pencils are. My kids are excited to use them this upcoming school year. My kiddos range in age from 4-11 - this satisfies all of them! Way to go BIC!

I love these pencils! I am a huge fan of mechanical, and it takes a lot for me to go away from them. I have been grabbing these pencils before my mechanical pencils since getting them! The plastic eraser holder and two tone colors make them so fun and nice looking. I haven't had to sharpen one once due to lead breakage. They seem very sturdy! I do have to say that for a product that comes already sharpened some were very dull. This isn't a big deal, but I just feel like if they are going to offer them sharpened they should make sure they are sharp. Well worth the purchase to have these fun yet functional pencils!

I am so excited about my free sample of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! These pencils are so fun! The colors are very vibrant and the pencils work great. My daughter is so excited to use them on the first day of school. The traditional yellow pencil work but are so boring. These really make writing fun and exciting! There are several in a pack and they do not break easy like some of the other #2 pencils. You won't regret buying these and will also earn some brownie points with your kiddos!

I think these pencils are just too cute. I love the two-toned barrels and so do my kids. They are excited to use some for school. I love the break-resistant leads, we haven't tested that out yet. My girls always need a sharpener because they push so hard when they write the lead is always breaking. So that will be interesting to see just how break-resistant they really are. I love that they are easy to erase and that they sharpen first time, every time. Another bonus is the durabiltiy that they have long lasting leads and erasers. And that they are certified non-toxic

My 4 year old loves to draw and writing her letters as she is trying to learn how to write them. These pencils are fun for her and great that the lead does not break as fast as others. She has enjoyed picking which color to write with and I am glad that she has her own special pencils to use. This makes it easier on me when it is time to work on our letters together as soon as I say its time to write she runs to the pencil cup and grabs the one she wants to use. Thanks BIC for another great product that can stand up even for the younger kids :)

I gave the pencils to my 5 year old and 12 year old. I told them to goto town, to really work the pencils hard. They worked them hard, writing, drawing, scribbling. They both really like the way they wrote. My 12 year old told me that they erased good, which is awesome! She did break the point off, because I asked her to try to. It took some work but the lead did break. They sharpen nice too though! So 4 thumbs up from them!

I was super excited about these pencils! As a design-conscious person, I loved the way they looked! So far, I've been really impressed with how strong the lead has been. I haven't broken a tip yet! It also erases very nicely and smoothly without leaving marks. My only criticism is that the lead does not write as crisply as I'd like. It is a bit muted and matted which was a bit of a bummer. I also noticed that it doesn't get very sharp. I love my pencils extra sharp. Regardless, it's a great looking pencil!

I love these pencils! We shared the first packs, so I bought more for me and the kids. They seem a bit stronger than the regular #2 pencils I use in my classroom and my children use at school. I also like that, atleast until others catch on and get their own, my pencils will be easily recognizable in my classroom! The kids love how colorful they are! Maybe the trend of trying to have the shortest pencil in the room will fade away since sharpening these to nibs will be a waste! Time will tell since we are not back to school yet!

I think these pencils are great. When I got my kit and opened it my 5 year old son could not wait to try them. I am soooo glad i got two packages because he did not want to share with his 13 year old sister. They thought the two-toned was fun and cool (yes, even my teenager loved them). I was very impressed with how break resistant they are, when my son draws or does his homework i have to sharpen his pencil a few times because the point keeps breaking. With these pencils he was able to draw a few pictures without it breaking. My teenager could not wait to show her friends her new pencils. They were a great success with my family and friends.

As soon as we received our BIC Xtra-fun pencils my daughter grabbed them and ran into her room. She loves them, she even gave them there own special place on her desk. The colors are very appealing, not only to children but adults as well. I have to admit that I love them too! They write well, erase well, all the quality you expect from BIC! They're a definite must this school year.

Perfect for elementary school
I know Bic makes quality products so I was more than happy to try the new BIC XTRA-Fun pencils. They are xtra fun because the 2 toned colors, they are cool to look at and kids love bright colors. They are #2, that is very important because #2 is the standard that school's require and use for tests and more. I always seem to get pencils that do not sharpen right. They are either sharpened crooked or the lead breaks just when it is about to be perfect. These BIC XTRA-Fun 2 toned pencils don't do that! They sharpen easily without the problems of other pencils. These pencils are great for children to learn to write with. They come in an 8 pack and will probably last all school year. A college student could use these pencils too. If there is something you should always bring to class, that would be paper and a dependable pencil.

The colors are definitely fun, and the wood inside the pencil is colored all the way through. I think BIC's new XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are amazingly fantastic!

Bic Xtra Fun Pencils; a great hit with my kid!
When the Bic Xtra Fun pencils came in the mail, I was at first a bit surprised. Somehow I thought I was getting colored pencils that would change color, how cool is that!! Turns out they were 'regular' number 2 pencils that come in cool colored barrels with a different colored tip. Taking them out of the package you immediately notice the different feel of the barrel, they feel softer. The erasers are white, but what is even cooler, is that the piece that holds the eraser is plastic! Not metal. Much softer on the teeth, in case you do have a pencil chewer. Sorry, I have those. Another real cool thing is that the barrels are flexible. My son was drawn to the colors and started using them, he's already decided which ones to keep for home, and which for when school starts. He is 11, so he also had to experiment with them. He liked that the pencils are flexible, but he was able to break them. But the barrels have a clean break, not the sharp, splintery kind of regular pencils. And what's more, the leads stay in the barrel. And as for the claim that the leads are break resistant, they withstood not only being shipped to me, but also being thrown around for good measure. Hey, nothing as thorough as an 11 year old tester! I give the Bic Xtra Fun pencils get a 5 star from me, I love it when a product stands up to what they claim!

Start them off on the write.. track!
I think these pencils are great as not only are they #2 lead pencils they are full of color that will make it fun for my daughter to want to learn to write and complete all her writing assignments. The pencils are very strong as well as the lead in the pencils as well, making them last longer , and hard to break. The pencils also sharpen the first time, every time and erase easily with latex-free erasers. The pencils have two toned color barrels on each one that is Non-Toxic that takes the place of the boring yellow pencils of the past! I have even starting taking them to my work to use as they always get a second look when people see me using them and the seem to always end up on other peoples desk. I got my sample from BzzAgent and BIC for free!!!

I like the colors, and I do really feel like they break less, but I'm not sure if they are worth the price difference. My daughter is 4 and other than thinking they were pretty, she didn't gravitate towards them. I gave them to my 10 year old niece though, and she seemed really excited about them! I think they are geared more towards pre-teens than younger kids.

Regular pencils drive me crazy, I have had to sharpen pencils 3 times while doing homework with the kids.

I think this is the best invention since the no 2 pencil. The ease of these pencils and the idea that you have a strong point all the way. My neighbors children were over and I gave them the set to start an art project and they were very busy for a good part of the day. You would want to know this product is strong and says what it means The smooth feeling of writting or drawing is in these pencils. I passed out aome coupons and was happy the kids were able to have their own

As a teacher, I often seek out the best methods to prepare my students for exams. All exam require the standard #2 pencil. I am currently taking ACT pretests as the State of Florida has decided to award bonus money for those in the 80th percentile rankings. I LOVE these pencils!!! Standard lead breaks and has issues erasing. These pencils are perfect!!! They are comfortable, strong, and FUN!!! I will definitely recommend that my colleagues invest in these for testing season.

Colorful and sturdy, could use a better eraser
Our family goes through a lot of pencils, especially during the school year. The fact that these pencils looked colored grabbed our attention first, my daughter anxiously waited for me to open them. Within 2 minutes of using her first pencil, she drops it and guess what! No broken lead, pencil stayed sharp and together. My only complaint is the eraser, did not erase as well as the old fashion pink eraser (this one has a white eraser). You can see where a previous item was written and drawn and erased. I do like the look of these unique colored pencils and would recommend.

My children have been using our free sample of the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils for over a week now and they are working out great. The lead really does seem to be break-resistant but we did find a few a little difficult to sharpen (may have been our sharpener though). Once the pencils are sharpened they do not break easily like other pencils. Both of my daughters (ages 12 and 15) say they prefer these colored pencils over boring" yellow pencils and plan on using them when they start school."

These pencilish are different for sure. I had 6 people give me their thoughts. Six out of six like it's a #2 pencil. Five out of the six like the fun colors. Two out of six like the pencils overall. The four that do not care for the pencils mentioned not liking the light weight, the faint mark, how fast and the snap or the break, feels hollow, and the plastic feel. Even with the coupon, my friends didn't want it. Sorry Bic, you missed it on this one.

I like how my daughter couldn't wait to use the BIC XTRA-fun #2 pencils. I was also excited to see them in action. She was pretty disappointed that they weren't actual color pencils, and that kind of made me sad. She drew this adorable picture with the pencils but then didn't know if she could use other pencils to color them in. I think the whole color on the outside idea was great, but it was a little confusing for my 7 year old. Once she got past the idea that they are and never would be color pencils she did have fun using them. And with all her time using the BIC XTRA-fun #2 pencils she never broke a tip (such a relief). So Awesome!!!

These new BIC pencils seem like a parent's dream - fun colors, the #2 school-required lead, and less breakage. I love, love, love the idea. And they did come through as far as breakage and easy sharpening goes. Unfortunately I think it's back to the drawing board for BIC (pun intended!) While the colors are fun, at first sight my kids were disappointed that they weren't colored pencils. That's easy to get over, though. Great outer colors and not the usual boring yellow. The pencils don't break easily with use and they don't break and tear apart during sharpening either, which is fantastic. However, the writing experience with them was a big issue for us. The pencil itself flexes upon writing, which slows writing down, makes you feel like you have to press harder, and doesn't deliver as dark an impression as most pencils. Of course my kids use pencils in school, but I also tend to prefer pencils over pens in my daily writing of lists, etc. I couldn't stand using these pencils. Maybe it's all my experience with harder pencils, but I really disliked how these bend a bit while writing. The way around this is to grip the pencil pretty close to the tip, but that's not my typical grip. On a positive note, the eraser also does not break off easily - with some effort it pops out before it breaks, actually. That's a plus for me, as my child likes to peel the eraser. But once it's out, I couldn't get it back in, so we'd still end up with eraser-less pencils hanging around. Overall, a good try, but not quite there.

Wow these colored pencils are the coolest ever. My son is 16 years old and still thought they where really cool, who would of thought. I gave a pack to him for school and i kept a pack for my office. No more multi colored ink pens for me. These pencils work so much better. They come in so handy, i haven't used my highlighters much anymore either. I LOVE the fact you have an eraser on the end. I'll be back for more praise once my son is back to school and using his. p.s. i passed out coupons to my friends and everyone of them couldn't wait to surprise there children with a pack.. pp.ss. thanks BIC and thanks Bzz this was a awesome survey, i probably would of never thought to try them with out having this sample pack and or coupons...

I have a 5th grader and a 1st grader. Both were excited about the different colors and the colors helped them remember which pencils were theirs (less fighting!). The pencils are flexible and durable. They do not need to be sharpened very often. The erasers are great-they erase cleanly with little effort.

I love these pencils and so do my kids! Although they are not using colored pencils, it makes them feel like they're having a little more fun doing sometimes boring writing tasks. We give this pencils an A+ and can't wait to use them in the new school year!

I'm in love with this pencil! Not only is it very attractive with its multi colors, it has great lead that writes smoothly. This pencil sharpens well unlike some pencil i have. This pencil erases well, no pink streaks or lines left on your paper. It has my Mom seal of approval for myself and all three of my children who just started back to school with their cool new pencils!

I didn't fall in love with these pencils like I wanted to. The colors are very fun and make the pencils fun to use. But these pencils are very hard to write with. You have to press down very hard to make the writing visible and by that point you're scratching through the paper. It was very frustratingId.

Love these. Very colorful. These pencils do not break easy which is great for the little kids. I have a 5 year old and it really helps and makes it easier for her to practice writing. Its nice that they are number 2 pencils as well. my daughter in high school and still takes exams that require number 2 pencils. Awesome product!!

These pencils are great! I gave then to my kids to try. I have one middle-school aged daughter and one high-school aged daughter. Both had summer math packets to complete and used the pencils to get their work done. Both loved the unique look of the pencils. They liked the fact that they were very colorful. They both liked the fact that they were #2 pencils, making them easy to write with and the fact that they can use them for standardized tests. The pencils sharpened easily (and evenly) and seemed like they broke less than other pencils. Both kids asked me to buy more of these pencils for their upcoming school year.

Since school hasn't started, I decided to try out these bright pencils myself. I love the fact the led is break resistant. I have gone looking for pencils too many times, just to find that the led is broken. Then the time consuming task of finding the sharpener and sharpening it. My daughter is thrilled that she has new pencils for school that are two toned! These help make the start of school shopping just a little easier. I am thrilled that when I go to look for a pencil, I can spot the Bic Xtra Fun pencil because of the colors, without searching. I will know that I am going to have a pencil that works and not a broken one!

Bic #2 two toned barrel pencils
I think it makes kids more exited to write down what there thinking. From all the different colors to the fact they can erase if they make a mistake:) my daughter loves to write random letters an even draw pictures. Just adds a fun twist to the normal activity that's for sure:)what would you want to know it works from the lead to the eraser.

I love the color options and the feel of the pencil in your hand. Love the fact that I have not had to sharpen the pencil yet. Very durable lead tip and has an awesome eraser. Quality pencils that will last. Unlike the yellow pencils that you have to constily sharpen. My kids enjoy using these Pencils and love the color choices. They enjoy writting with the cool two tone pencils and makes writing fun for them. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone who is looking for a good quality pencil that will last.

Bic Fun Pencils = Fun Learning
My daughter enjoyed the colors and the two-tone made it even more fun. Since school hasn't started here yet, she has used them to write her short stories. She really likes matching colors to what she is wearing or using. They seem more bendable than the average pencil and the lead didn't break for her. Couldn't test the sharpening the first time every time because my sharpener just broke.

Super cool and fun to use!
I gave each of my two kids a pack and they were so excited! First, I read the back of the package about what makes these pencils so special (vs others). They, and I, loved the fact that they were presharpened. They also liked that they could easily identify them, making them less likely to get lost. Both boys said they're awesome!

These pencils are great! They're fun colors and very durable. I have 4 children that are so rough on pencils. They break the lead on pencils so often that we are constantly sharpening pencils. These pencils really don't break as easily. My kids could even bend the pencils some back and forth and the pencils didn't break! This will be our go to pencils for sure.

They don't erase as easily as other pencils I have used, I was a tiny bit let down , but thats my only complaint. They don't smudge When you erase, even if its a large space completly shaded.They look nice very eye catching with the 2 colors. The wood inside does not leave color on your fingers even if you got sweaty paws! I was worried about that. I personaly love how bright they are. Kinda of easy to find them. When i drew with the Bic#2 it drew very smoothly and was pretty easy to shade with them. The lead hasn't broken like many other pencils.Everyone can appreciate that ! They're very distinctive so it won't be easy for kids at school to steal them and that's always a plus.

This product is awesome! I love the bright fun colors, and I know my son will love them for school as well. The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are great, the lead doesn't break as easily as other #2 pencils, and they are pretty sturdy as well. If you have a child in school, especially one that is picky and just has to have the 'coolest' products around, this is definitely one of those 'cool' products, and not to mention the price is actually pretty good too! I would reccomend this product to everyone, especially with young ones in school, this will be a product everyone will love because I love it myself!

The kids used the bid #2 fun pencils. I asked them how well they liked the pencils They said they loved the colors . They liked the long slenderness of the pencil as they were comfortable and fun to use. They liked that the lead didn't break on them if they pressed to hard They really liked that erasing it didn't leave dark marks on the paper and it was easy to erase . They tol d me they are going to use these and loved the different fun colors almost looking like colored pencils . They said they will be using these in school, I old them they are available at most stores and not expensive and gave them some coupons for dicounts on them

I think the pencils are great. The colors are fun and add excitement to what may typically be tedious work. The pencils are easy to sharpen to a nice, fine tip. The erasers are sturdy and completely erase without leaving streaks or ripping the paper. The lead, though, is different than other pencils. It feels softer (though doesn't easily break) and the lead doesn't write as darkly as other #2 pencils we've used. It's great that they're #2 for use on standardized tests.

I think that these pencils look pretty cool. However upon giving them to my children to write with, several of them broke in half... the ones that broke were flexible - almost like rubber. It seemed to me that maybe they were just slightly defective as it was just the one pack. The other pack they all seem to be just fine and we have not had any issues with them breaking at all.

These were nice pencils, however it is hit and miss. Some pencils don't have a deep tone than others. The erasers are nice, and the lead is strong. I like the plastic that keeps the eraser on bc it feels secure. Colors were misleading, I thought that maybe these were colored pencils. The eraser doesn't smear that much, though I wish that it was softer. I used these pencils to study for the MCAT, and it was sufficient. The only thing is that I don't see how these differ from regular yellow pencils. As I said before, my biggest concern is that some pencils were harder to write with than others (some lead came out lighter than others) Overall, good pencils!

My kids were excited to get these bright pencils. The lead in them really holds up to my son's heavy- pressure writing. He has always pressed down hard when he writes and ends up breaking pencil points often. Not so with these. And added bonus for me is that they sharpen nicely. Many pencils just do not sharpen well, the lead often breaks or they sharpen uneven. These, however, sharpened evenly and the lead did not break. I would buy these again for my kids for school and to have at home.

These pencils are the bomb! They write so smoothly... easy to hold... and are so much fun!!! My kids had all their school supplies out and were putting their names on everything, getting ready for school. A couple of their friends came over and were watching them. Alex picked up a BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencil and says, these are some cool color pencils." The girls start in right away that they are not color pencils but really COOL pencils. They had a 5 minute conversation on the pencils. It was really awesome listening to them. In the end the kiddos wanted their parents to get them some for school!"

My daughter is staring kindergarten this year and had not been too interested in writing her letters. Until I introduced her again to the bic xtra fun pencils. We were coloring and she said she wanted to write with her colored pencils to work on her letters. I think the Bic Xtra fun pencils have inspired her to want to write her letters and practice handwriting which is awesome! I think the product increases get yearn to learn! Great product this week for my five year old.

So when my kit came in, I was pretty excited. I mean, this is the time of year we're looking for pencils. Hellloooo back to school! My package came with 2 sets of Xtra Fun pencils and coupons. Packaging: A+++ in this department. Packages were easy to see, with fun colors and per-sharpened pencils. You get 10 pencils in a package. Pricing: You can find them at most major retailers, ranging from $2-$4, which makes them very affordable for the average household. Use: These pencils definitely last longer than your typical generic #2's. They withstand pressure better (especially with eager little hands that don't know their strength) and the erasers last longer. Overall: I definitely recommend these pencils for anyone who could use a pencil in their life! They're fun, functional, affordable, and they last! What more could one possibly ask for???

Bic Xtra- fun #2 pencils are definitely better looking then the original #2 pencils. I love the colors and it gives me a positive way of writing. When i am writing notes on paper with bic xtra fun #2 pencil I love looking at how cool the colors are on the pencil. I like how the lead doesn't break and i can keep writing unlike the traditional yellow pencils. My kids love using them too at school, some parents asked me about it.

I kept a box for myself and gave the other box to my son to take to school. He started back to class today and just got home and told me about how he showed them off to everyone at his table.

On your marks....get set.....write!
I think it was a genius idea to try and come up with a sturdier pencil for children. I know how much I hate hearing the pencil sharpener a million times during the day. The strength seemed slightly better than a traditional pencil but not mind-blowingly better. The two toned colors fascinated my girls.

The coolest pencil ever!!!!
Thanks to BzzAgent we're able to try out New BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils for free. And let me tell you :these are awesome!!!. It's everything kids would wish for in a pencil. They are colorful-fun cause they are made with two toned colored barrels; durable break-resistant leads that means they last longer and that is important especially when doing homework cause kids loose patience very quickly; very easy to sharpen (my kids would always stress out when it would take forever to sharpen one pencil and then it brakes when they try to write, but not these, they sharpen first time every time ). My question is : why nobody thought of it before? I'm so glad I was able to try them out, cause I would not know about them otherwise.

I think her favorite part about BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils was the two-tone color scheme...at first. Now she is seeing how easy they are to erase and how sturdy they are for the extra writing she has now that she is all grown up in 2nd grade. Mechanical pencils tend to snap on her and other #2's leave her pages smudgy when she presses too hard. BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are simply holding up better.

Funky colors and fresh style!
I think the bic xtra fun #2 pencils are so functional and fun that they might just be the only pencil I will purchase from now on. I received these from Bzz Agent, and they wanted me to give them a test drive. The test drive was awesome and helped me find a product I love, they are easy to sharpen, easy to find in a book bag and write smoother than any other #2 pencil I have ever used!

We love the fun colors. My kids couldn't wait to open the package and begin writing, they love them. I like a darker pencil, I felt I needed to push hard to write. However the durability is excellent. I will be purchasing more of these for school.

When I showed the BIC-XTRA fun #2 pencils to my 7 year old daughter her eyes instantly lit up! She loves to write notes and the idea of picking out a super cute color made her so happy! They come already sharpened which is a big help since she definately did not want to have to wait for me to sharpen them ?. The lead has held up very well. They do not break easily. The only sharpening I have had to do was when she wore it down. I love the BIC-XTRA fun #2 pencils because my daughter loves them so much.

Absolutely perfect pencils, in every way!
We are in love with these new pencils from Bic. Not only are they as colorful as my children, but they work wonderfully too! Any parent who has ever had kids in school can understand the frustrations of terrible pencils. Leads break easily, they don't sharpen quite right, erasers either don't work or they break off, all of these and more can lead to a very grumpy kid come homework time. These pencils, however, fit the bill in every way. The erasers are soft, but sturdy, and they work wonderfully. The leads are quite strong, and the pencils sharpen properly each and every time, no more wasted pencil or lead trying to get it sharp. The kids love these pencils and have already chucked all other pencils into the extra supplies" box. I don't think we'll see those again this year! We will definitely be using these for years to come! We've already stocked up on ours for the entire school year. We've also stocked up on extras to put into care packages for other kids

The pencils we want to use
We received some of these awesome pencils for free from Bzzagent in exchange for an honest review. These are great pencils! Jane, my 4 year old who is just starting preschool, loves the bright colors, and I love that they write smoothly, sharpen easily, actually erase cleanly, and the point isn't easily broken.

These pencils make writing fun! I love the bright colors and the fact that the tips are also colored. I am a teacher and KNOW that my students would LOVE these! The lead holds up well, so they don't need to be sharpened as often as other pencils. This in turn, will make the pencils last longer. I would definitely recommend these pencils!

I think my kids will get past the boring writing assignments using these dual color pencils. Not only that they don't have to keep getting up to sharpen their pencils because the lead is break resistant. Finally, a pencil that is strong enough to hold up. Bic XTRA-Fun pencils out weigh the traditional pencils any day.

Smooth pencil in cool wrapping...
I think the BIC X-TRA fun #2 pencils are great for when you need a pencil for school and work but don't want to reach for a boring normal pencil. They have 2 toned color barrels. What won me over was by there colorful package but the fact that the lead was sturdy, the lead didn't smudge, and the erasers were really smooth and erased without leaving too much behind.

I have a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. They both loved these pencils. Easy for them to use and the colors made it fun for them. They are a little thicker than other pencils which helped my youngest hold onto the pencil better. The fun colors make them want to use the pencils and write, which helps penmanship. They were presharpened which saved some time. They could use the pencils right away. I used the pencils too and I liked how it fit in my hand and the smoothness of the writing. I will definitely be buying more for this school year.

Kindergarten prep with Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencil
This is a picture of my 5 year old practicing writing her letters. She loves the colors. I love the smooth grip of the pencils. She loves that the erasers don't break and that the pencils.rarely need to be sharpened. It has heightened her excitement for kindergarten which starts in a few weeks. Great pencils for little ones who are easily frustrated with learning to write for the first time. So not having to stop and constantly sharpen pencils or fix broken erasers makes all the difference in the world. These pencils help with my daughters patience so she can keep trying because we are doing lots of erasing. Practice makes perfect. #BIC-XTRA FUN #GOTITFREE #BZZAGENT #AMAZING

This pencil vs Ticonderoga pencil
I thiink that if you look at the design it is great and such a wonderful idea. It adds color and fun to a kid even to a teen. This pencil fun colors gets the boring out of pencils. Not to mention the fact that inside of the wood is colored as well. Scored for this pencil rather than what I am comparing it to. Now onto to the actual pencil. This pencil claims to have break resistant lead well I am here to confirm to say it's true! No matter how hard I pushed I couldn't get it to break. A plus for little kids who write hard. Now the downside to it is that unlike the comarism it's not as soft as it. It has the consistency as if it were like a colored pencil. Now again it prevents little kids from having the habit for pushing too hard but for more older kids it gets some getting used to. The eraser worked very well just like the comparison. My kids loved using it!

Fun and colorful, perfect for kids!
I gave both my brother and sister one pack of these pencils and they love how colorful the barrels were. I tried them out for myself and they write well, but I would have to give it four stars because the eraser wasn't great. It doesn't smear like other brands do, but it doesn't erase as much as I would like. Other than that it's a must have for your kid's back to school shopping list!

These BIC Xtra Fun pencils can be matched to most school accessories and backpacks. My kids loved these because they are so colorful and distracts them from how much work they have to do by focusing on which pencil color they want to use while doing their schoolwork! Thanks BIC for making homework time more smooth.

I have a 5 year old girl that loves writing and drawing. She is so in love with these pencils from bic. They are easy for her to hold with her small hands. When she pushes hard they don't break which is great for mommy too. She also loves the two colors. She is always asking me if she can practice her writing now because she loves the pencils so much.

We are loving the BIC Xtra-Fun #2 pencils that we got to try free from Bzz Agent! We liked that they came pre sharpened in the package because that means less work, and the schools require pre-sharpened pencils on supply lists. The kids think that they are super fun because of the two toned colors, and love writing with them. These BIC pencils also seem to erase better than the other traditional #2 pencils that we typically buy for school supplies with the pink erasers. The only thing that I would improve, is the number that come in the package. I don't know about other schools, but our school typically requires 12 or 24 pencils for school supplies, and that is how most other pencils are packaged. I personally would rather buy 1 or 2 packages instead of 3. The kids liked these so much that they asked me to buy more for their school supplies this year! Thanks BzzAgent!

The New Bic #2 Pencil Extra-Fun are two thumbs up. Thanks to BzzAgent we were able to try these fun colorful pencils. My younger brother and sister love writting and drawing now. They can't wait to go to school and show off their fun pencils. As an artist, I love them too cause these pencils are break resistant, easy to erase and very DURABLE , that means buying less. < 3

Colorful Writing and Drawing Fun
My children were so excited when we first received these pencils. They thought they were just so bright and colorful, and my daughter especially was very excited to try them out. Once they found out they were regular pencils though, they weren't quite as excited. They thought these were going to be actual colored pencils. For a few days, they didn't really seem interested in trying them out. Eventually my daughter wanted to take an entire package to her room to draw and write one evening before bed, which then prompted my son to do the same. They pulled them out and took time to decide which one to start with, eventually using all of them. The pencils worked very well, sharpened easily for them, and didn't seem to break as easily as others have in the past. I think they would really like to use them at school as well, but their school specifically requests a particular brand of pencil for them to use, so they will stay at home. My kids really did seem to enjoy using them though!

I loved getting these free in the mail! I was a little disappointed in the fact that they weren't the sharpest coming out of the package. The tips appeared to be somewhat broken off (maybe during shipping?). I love other Bic products, so I was super excited to try these out. Being in college, I love having cool pencils that hold up during note taking. The minute I started writing I didn't like them at all. The break resistant lead is soft and I don't care for that type at all. I did find that the eraser was high quality and worked very well. I liked that the connector was plastic instead of the regular metal. The fun colors are an added element that make the pencils cool to buy. I won't be using them myself, but will make sure I give them to my niece and nephew to take to school.

Fun pencils that are QUALITY
My incoming kindergartener and I have been sampling these pencils while completing her summer packet for school. The pencils are fun colors which she loves. They erase well, which she really loves because she hates making mistakes and can make her work look perfect. They also sharpen well, which we really love! So many pencils we have had don't sharpen and instead just break over and over again. Highly recommend these quality pencils!!

I am so happy these pencils have lead that is hard to break. Nothing is more frustratingId then to keep having to sharpen pencils while 4 kids are trying to do homework. My kids love these multicolored pencils and were excited to pack them in their bags for back to school. I love that they erased easily and clearly.

A new twist to a classic pencil
I knew the minute I opened up my bzz kit and saw these pencils that they would be a hit. What child wouldn't love having a Colorful #2 pencil? I used one of the pencils myself and found the lead to be durable. I sharpened it and found it to sharpen easily without a lot of waste. The eraser was smaller, however erasing was smooth so maybe I would use less eraser each time. Of course they are more expensive than regular #2 pencils but with coupons and back to school sales it would be a splurge that would be worth it to excite the kids

Super Sturdy, Super Fun, and Super Colorful.
I really like BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. Not only does the break resistant lead live up to it's name but the eraser is hard to demolish. My son is going into the 2nd grade and I can recall how many eraser-less pencils he would bring home from school LAST YEAR. The way this pencil looks, you can immediately tell it's different. From the color combinations of the pencil barrel, the paint, and the eye catching eraser detail. Even the weight of the pencil seems to be hardier than that of a regular #2. I was excited I would be able to save even a little bit more on school supplies this year. A HARDY pencil that ALSO makes writing fun? I don't have to buy silly attachments that might cause in-school distraction, this pencil IS the solution. Making school and homework that much more enjoyable for my son is easier this year thanks to BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils.

I received the buzz kit containing the free BIC XTRA - FUN pencils to try just in time for back to school. My girls split one package and where instantly awed by the colors. The other pack I took to work with me to keep at my desk and was surprised by how many adults where also drawn in by the fun colors. They where a good product like every other experience I've had with BIC products. Overall I'm satisfied by this product and will likely get them again next year for back to school.

These new pencils are really neat! The colors on the pencils really make them stand out and it makes me want to do things like balance the bank account LOL! My kids love to draw and were so excited to open the package of bright colored pencils when they saw them on the table. They are young so they thought they were colored pencils at first, but still had fun drawing with them especially because the pencil was dark enough when they pressed lightly and didn't break when they put a lot if pressure on the tip to draw darker. I'm glad we got these as a free sample and used one of out coupons to buy a pack for my nephews!

My daughter has hypermobile joints in her fingers and cannot press down very hard or the fingers bend backwards. The Bic Xtra-Fun pencils do not write dark enough if you can't press down hard. They are bright and fun colors and the needed #2 lead (and even certified non-toxic) so I think they would be great for younger students who tend to press harder.

Colorful Fun With Bic Pencils.
The kids and I enjoy using these #2 pencils for homework and even grocery lists. They are colorful so they are fun to use. They are also sturdy with the break proof lead so no more wasting half used, broken pencils. It makes homework fun and they use them in school too for the fill in the bubble" tests and regular work. I even use them for my grocery lists."

My daughter was super excited to bust out her new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils at school. She was the only one in her class that was using a fun looking pencil. When we got the package in the mail she wanted to take them right out of it and write in her journal. She said they looked really cool and that everyone would want to use them. She was right. When she took them out at school, kids were asking to use them. What a great find. I cannot wait to buy some for my son.

I believe that Bic did a great thing with the x-tra fun pencils. My kids always pick out cheap no good pencils because they have a cool design. Bic did a great thing by coloring the actual pencil instead of using a cheap plastic to cover up a bad pencil. My kids love Bic x-tra fun #2 pencils it makes doing there homework a little but more fun by giving them the decision of what color pencil they would like to use. This is a great quality #2 with fun colors to match.

School has started and the pencils are a hit!
Well, the kids still love the pencils...getting to choose the color of the pencil seems more important to the girls than the boys though. One girl wished that all the erasers were that really nice white eraser" though....but we can't have everything...yet. I kept a few in the junk drawer at home for myself too when I get to help with homework."

I passed along a set of these to my great niece (age 7) to try for school and kept the other set for my daughter (age 17) for her to use at school. They both are enjoying using them and give kudos because the lead doesn't break easy like most pencils. They purposely put these pencils through torture tests (slamming them down, tapping with the lead end etc) and these pencils are holding up just fine. They enjoy the two tone colors. In the words of the 17 years old I like the two tone they are kinda cool". They are both getting all kinds questions about the pencils at school

BIC XTRA-pencils are Extra cool
I think the colors of the pencils are fun and hip. I like the design of the eraser because it seems to last longer compared to other brands. My children were a little worried the pencils would break because they are flexible. That didn't happen though and they were able to finish their school work with no problems. We loved break resistant lead and that meant less trips to the pencil sharpener. My kids LOVED the colors of the pencils and fight over them. We were glad we were able to test these pencils out thanks to Bzz Agent.

i posted on Facebook that I had coupons and they went fast. Everyone wanted them. The kids and I tried these pencils and they write smoothly, erase cleanly, and sharpened great. We even tried to break the lead by writing hard but it remained unbroken. Everyone loved the pencils and how fun they were. Definitely a brighter choice than the boring yellow #2 pencils.

My son loves these pencils. Not only are the colors fun to have but they are a really good quality pencil. He is sharpening them less and they are lasting longer. I really think he is looking forward to writing more using these pencils and there is less frustration in having to keep sharpening the tip. I am thrilled he is getting more out of these pencils.

My girls recently just started school and they love these pencils. No matter what pencils they have used or was bought before, just always had you wasting time because you were constantly sharpening them and they were breaking. So far since school started the lead hasn't broken and they sharpen them so much less than before. A plus side for them is the cool 2 tone colors they come in. FINALLY a good pencil!

My kids love these pencils-they last a really long time without having to sharpen. My kids love to bend them-they even stay in a curve-but will certainly eventually break

My daughter LOVES them!!!
I always struggled to get my 4 year old to write anything. But when I got the BIC extra fun pencils she was SUPER excited!! And ALL she wants to do is count them, & name their colors, & write her name over and over and over!! Yes. She FINALLY learned how to write her name because those pencils were cool!" Love them! Thanks!! Have already recommended them to other parents in my area!"

My children are harsh on any writing utensil. But these are standing the test! I am pretty impressed thus far and cannot wait to see how they hold up when they start school in a few short weeks. They are excited to write and even draw and color with them (even though their pictures are alone color). They love them and for that, so do I!

My son loves these pencils. I do wish that they were mechanical, which I thought they were, but I must have just not payed close enough attention lol I'm not sure that I would pick these pencils over mechanical for myself, but they are perfect for my kids who can't use mechanical pencils in school yet. They are way more fun the the plain yellow pencils I always had to use!!

I gave a few of these pencils to my 8 yr old brother and he absolutely loves them! He loves them so much that he's saving them for when school starts! They are very durable and look very fun to use! He definitely loves the colors. I like that the erasers arent colored-bc i dont have to worry about the dye rubbing on the paper when I erase.

I do not know if my children are more excited to write with these or not, but they do say they like how the pencils look. My 4 year old daughter said they were so cool!" and my two children fight over them. I had to pull out more so they could each have their own pack to stop the fighting. I have also noticed that the leads tend to last longer. My son used to break at least one pencil tip each time he does his homework. These pencils appear to last a bit longer than his other pencils."

We loved the Bic #2 pencils! The erasers are soft and white, so no worries of pink residue and they erase very nicely. Easy to sharpen and fun to hold, my kids loved writing their summer assignments with the new pencils. The colors definitely played a roll in my children's (4 & 7) interest. That is the first thing they both said when they arrived in the mail, They're so colorful!". The break-resistant lead is wonderful

My kids were super Excited to get this BzzKit. My oldest daughter wanted to be the one to open the package and try them out first. She loved them. She loves to draw and she said these pencils worked great for that. My little girl loved all the different colors. She was happy to be able to bring them to school to show her friends her cool looking pencils. The lead works really good. And very easy to sharpen, they don't crack all over like some pencils do. So we really like this product and will use the coupons I have left over.

I loved the BIC XTRA fun #2 pencils! They got my kids excited about using them with their fun colors. My daughter was really excited to take them to her school supply night. She can't wait to write at school with them. I gave my son and daughter a couple to use at home. They really liked drawing with them. My kids are always breaking pencils and leads. These are still standing after being used multiple times. These are definitely good pencils worth buying. Kids love them and parents will too!

I think Bic has fine their party with keeping up with the quality of their products. These pencils are not only bright and color, giving the child style, it's also a little harder to lose. These pencils sharpen at ease yet do not break easily. I highly recommend these pencils to all parents with school age kids

Very nice fun pencils!!! Got a nice box in the mail with the pencils and coupons. I shared several coupons with my two sisters so they can save some money on their back to school list for my two nephews. I also shared the coupons with some of my friends from Church. I really liked these pencils.

My son loves these pencils. Not only are the colors fun to have but they are a really good quality pencil. He is sharpening them less and they are lasting longer. I really think he is looking forward to writing more using these pencils and there is less frustration in having to keep sharpening the tip. I am thrilled he is getting more out of these pencils.

My girls recently just started school and they love these pencils. No matter what pencils they have used or was bought before, just always had you wasting time because you were constantly sharpening them and they were breaking. So far since school started the lead hasn't broken and they sharpen them so much less than before. A plus side for them is the cool 2 tone colors they come in. FINALLY a good pencil!

Better than Regular #2 Pencil
I have to admit I was a little taken back by the colors of the pencil -- I'm used to the yellow #2 pencils. While I am not a big fan of the Halloween-themed colors of the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils, the quality of the pencils is excellent. Not surprisingly, my 5-year-old loved the colors. At first, she thought they were colored pencils, so she made drawings. I have to admit, 30 minutes using the pencil, and while the lead" was eroding

These pencils come in the coolest colors! Love that the barrel and insides are different colors! The pencils feel like they'll break if you use a lot of pressure (the barrel, not the lead) but so far, they haven't broken, even with Mom using lots of pressure.The lead lasts, and doesn't easily break, even when sharpening the lead. The only drawback I can see is when writing with the pencils, the lead feels waxy almost.

Kids went back to school today. They both had one of the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. They left the house with a sharpened pencil and returned with a sharpened pencil. Normally, boys being boys, the pencil leads always end up broke. Writing is more fun for my kids. They like the bright colors, but being Junior High School boys, they would like a little less pink and purple :).

When my preschooler saw all the brightly colored pencils she just had to have. of course i had to give them a try too. I was impressed at how smoothly I was able to write and how the tip withstood the firm pressure I usually use when I write with a pencil. I was more impressed at how the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencil with stood my preschooler and her strong scribbling. she is tough on writing utensils but this pencil lasted through several sessions of doodling. The only thing that caused me to rate them a 4 out of 5 was that several of the pencil tips were broken even before i opened the package.

Awesome pencils. My kids just recently went back to school. They absolutely love these new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. My oldest takes them to school, says he hasn't had to sharpen one once. They are a lot more durable than the old #2. My littlest one (age 7) really likes them too. He uses them at home to do homework. I think he even snuck one to school to use in place of an old yellow pencil. He really likes the colors. He was dying to show his friends how cool they were.

I think these pencils are great! My 5 year old is using them and I am using them at the office too! I may be lazy, but I love that they come pre-sharpened, and I haven't had to sharpen any of them yet. The erasers do their jobs, rather than smear lead all over the page. I love the colors and I love the pencils! Great fun!

I wasn't entirely sure how anyone could get excited over a pencil but my kids absolutely love the colors of the pencils. I am more concerned with functionality of a pencil and I was really impressed with the the durability of the lead. It, indeed, did not break even when slamming it point-down onto a hard surface, the lead just sort of mushroomed out/flattened. These pencils sharpen really well and evenly. The only downfall I have noticed is that the eraser isn't held in as snugly as a traditional pencil, as the barrel that holds it is plastic and not clamped metal. We have several of these now missing erasers

Bringing the Fun back into school!
These #2 pencils come covered in a neat variety of rainbow colors including, red, purple, orange, yellow and blue. The lead is extra hard, which makes the lead last longer and not break so easy. We have a few heavy hands in the house so the fact that these pencils are break-resistant is a big plus. They write smoothly and the eraser works well without tearing your paper. You can also resharpen without losing half of your pencil the the sharpener! I received two packs of these for free to try out and review along with several coupons from Bzzagent.

Paper, Pencil and games......
He loves drawing, just little pieces per paper and now that the point does not break every few minutes, you all can imagine how many pages he goes through. I am glad I got these for him, now I think I might need paper to keep up with his little drawings.

My Son Loves Bic Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils!
I asked my son (who's a senior in high school, by the way) if he was using his Bic Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils and, to my surprise, since he's a little older than the kids that I thought would like them, he said he LOVES them. He says they are fun to write with and it's even fun to sharpen them. He says they feel like sharpening paint. :0) So, I definitely recommend these great pencils to all kids" young and old!"

Although the new colors of the pencils are fun and they do erase quite well, they are stiff to write with and my kids prefer the old pencils they have. I agree with them.

Make Homework & Schoolwork Fun
I love the Bic Xtra-Fun pencils! My son was so excited when I pulled out this bzzkit! He thought that the pencils were really neat looking. Also, with the help of a friend at school, they found out that the pencils are very flexible. Leave it to a 3rd grader to find that out. The pencils do not break as easily as the regular wooden pencils, they write very well as well as sharpen well. My son was very excited to take these to school, in fact after seeing the excitement his teacher bought them for the entire glass as a back to school bonus on their desks. My daughter who is in 6th grade has to use mechanical pencils and was disappointed that she was not able to use them as well. Thank you for putting a smile on my sons face when it is time to do schoolwork/homework. He enjoys the great colors!!

The kids in my class like the bright colors, but the lead is not as sturdy as I hoped. I prefer Ticonderoga pencils, but for the price I'll take the xtra fun pencils.

My kids enjoyed these pencils. They did not know they were any different than their usual ticondoroga pencils, but they sure did love the colors. Usually pencils are either in prints or solid yellow. I loved that I no longer see broken pieces after they do their homework/draw! I can't say it erases easier than other pencils. I think the novel idea with these pencils are that they are attractive to kids and dont leave broken pieces or lead smears on the paper. I gave all the coupons away to the other parents' in his class.

Well is so cool that bic is always innovating and trying to help more and more kids and parents to stop wasting money on products that will not last. I was so tired to buy the yellow pencil that half of them I didn't use because the tip will always broke and I have to sharpen every time over and over again . And another great thing is the white eraser don't damage the paper . My kids love the variety of color .

These pencils are amazing
These pencils are amazing!!!! They write so smooth and erase clearly! I have always been a fan of mechanical, but these pencils have changed that for me. The colors just makes you want to keep writing with only those pencils. Hate you can't write a check with them. I have given coupons to friends/family and they have also fell in love with the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils!!

Xtra fun pencils make writing xtra fun!!
Until receiving pencils as part of a campaign from Bzz agent I had never really thought about what I myself or my children like in a #2 pencil. But once I did I realized there are a few things that make some pencils superior to others and the BIC xtra fun pencils have them all. 1. Sharpens to a fine point without splintered wood and lead breaking off repeatedly! 2. lead is hard and smooth but still writes darkly unlike some pencils that are almost waxy and don't darken no matter how often you go over it. 3. Doesn't smudge. 4. Nice eraser that erases completely without leaving streaky residue and large crumbles, does leave a few small crumbles. 5. Has a nice hand feel, feels solid and easy to grip. 6. Eye catching colors that kids really do seem to get excited about.

I was waiting for feedback from my sons on how they liked these pencils as part of their back to school supplies! As a Bzz Agent, I and my boys got to try these for free! They immediately loved the fun colors. My elementary schooler loves them. He likes how they feel and think the colors rock! My middle schooler, however, uses them to write a lot in class and at home. He says he has to press down very hard for a good result. He likes how they're kind of floppy

We are getting ready to start first grade, and over the summer, the joy of writing and dwindled a bit. When we opened the bzzkit containing the Bic Xtra Fun Pencils, the joy was back! The colors are just so vibrant that you want to use them, right away. Even I wanted to get in on the action :) My daughter quickly grabbed a few and started writing anything she could think of! The true test came when sharpening. We are VERY tough on pencils, and those cheap, yet fun pencils, don't sharpen well, at all. These pencils actually do sharpen great, without the lead breaking every sharpen so that you are left with a nub... We didn't have ANY broken lead. We had a hard time sharpening to a perfect point, but that could have just been our sharpener. The material surrounding the lead isn't the typical pencil wood, so the shavings aren't quite as messy either. My daughter is excited to put these in her backpack for the 1st day of school... and I'm sure they will make homework much more enjoyable :)

I like these pencils a lot because the lead is resistant to breaking and my child can erase without the eraser coming out. These have been great for a kid that writes heavy handed and normals breaks pencil leads writing or sharpening. These are our new go to brand of pencils.

These are adorable! They just look like fun. I've been very impressed with how well the lead holds up without breaking. My kids actually are choosing these out of the drawer over a pen. Great news with homework time just about to gear up again! :-)

I'm never going to not use pencils again!" - My 5 year old"
I don't know what it is about these pencils - but my 5 year old (who loves to draw) has confessed his undying devotion to them. He has dedicated a special box for them and carries it around day and night. I asked hime what he likes about them and he just said because they make the picture right". He built a dedicated drawing area in our living room around the pencils (as you can see in the attached pictures. I am going to have to probe him more about his love for these perfect pencils

School hasn't started yet but...
Even though school hasn't started, my kids are looking forward to sharing their BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils with their friends. They've already started using them here at home. They really like the fact that the pencils are bendy and don't break like traditional #2 pencils. The fun colors are also a plus. During the summer I encourage my kids to write letters or read books so as to keep them off electronics and tv all the time. Well, these pencils have drawn them to making the choice to write more than read. And I couldn't be happier!

Not So Break Resistent Lead
For starters, shout out to bzz agent for the free product! I have to say that I have not tried the product as of yet but when I received the package, I found that one of the presharpened pencil tips had been broken in transit. I'm not sure what kind of stress the pencil was under but it makes me wonder how break resistant this lead really is. I hope to have another opportunity to review this once I've actually tried the product. My son is really excited to start using these cool pencils.

I received a free sample of these Bic Xtra fun #2 pencils via buzz agent and my kids LOVE them! I have two boys and they think the colors are fun and I love the fact that the lead holds up and is sturdy! My 5 year old drew a picture and then placed the drawing over a grout seam in the tile and jabbed the pencil through making holes for his art. The pencil lead did not break! For anyone with heavy handed kiddos these pencils are a must!!

My kids loved these pencils. They liked the cool colors. They also tried very hard to break the lead while writing normal and the lead didn't break which is very cool because they are very heavy handed. My daughter tried to rip the paper with the eraser but couldn't unless she went extreme. Bic xtra-fun #2 pencils are a very cool product and one that I would consider buying.

These pencil are pretty cool. Kids love the two toned look. They erase mistakes easy and the lead is break resistant. I like the fact that it is fast and easy to sharpen them. Kids like to pick out which two colored pencil they want to do their work with. These Bic pencil help kids get excited about writing.

Time to add some color to the pencil box!
Upon receiving and trying these new Bic xtra fun pencils we were very pleased! Not only are they aesthetically pleasing but they write very smooth. If that weren't enough to make us full time buyers of this product they also have the white erasers that erase like a dream instead of the orange ones. Let's face it, these #2 pencils are #1!!!

Not exactly what we expected
I think after my children getting to use more and more over the last few weeks we have come to realize that the pencils themselves go rather quickly and do not last as long as the regular ones. We also noticed that you cannot sharpen these pencils with a manual sharpener, it just breaks it apart but never sharpens. We did test it with a mechanical sharpener and that worked fine. So if we go anywhere away from school or work for homework, they would not be able to sharpen there pencils. I think if they can fix that sharpening issue and have the pencils last longer like the original ones, than they would have a true 5 star winner.

Smooth Writing and Break Resistant
At first, my daughter thought her BIC XTRA-Fun Pencil wasn't sharp enough, but then she realized that it just felt smoother than what she was used to. The lead feels softer, but it is break-resistant, which we like a lot. The colors of the pencils are attractive and made homework that much more exciting.

YAY---We Love the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 pencils
I think the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 pencils are the best. My kids always love to write and draw but are often discouraged by having to sharpen the pencil and half the pencil being gone by the time it was finally sharpened...and then have the lead break yet again as soon as they started writing or drawing again. The break resistant lead in these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils is definitely way better than the old traditional yellow pencils!! And of course the kids love the two-toned color barrels way more than the plain old boring traditional yellow pencils :-) I am very happy that my kids are back into writing and drawing on a daily basis. I highly recommend to everyone we see looking at pencils to try the BIC XTRA Fun #2 Pencils!!

Creative fun concept with a flaw
The day the pencils came in the mail my six year old couldn't wait to get her hands on them. She grabbed her notebook came to the table and took a pink pencil with a yellow barrel out. The pencil fit in her little hands perfect, and looked super cute too. She started to write with no problem and oops, made a mistake. She flipped it around and erased the wayward line. I heard, wow Mom! this eraser works great." There was no record of her little mistake left on the paper and she was clearly amazed as many other pencils still leave a trace. After a minute I noticed she seemed to be struggling to get her marks to be dark on the paper. When she finished she said

They are awesome!! I thought these were colored pencils, at first. When I realized they were a true #2 pencil it just made them that much cooler. I have 3 school age children. This is our first year homeschooling. You should have seen the look on their faces when I pulled out these fun pencils! They couldn't wait to get started on their school work. Way more fun than the plain yellow #2 pencils I had growing up. Also, with the BIC name you know it's a quality product!

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils put some pizazz into the stereotypical yellow cased lead pencil. Nice work on making the outside and the inside of the pencil different colors! I let one of my kids choose one of them and he got super excited and slightly confused on which color to chose. (The color of the of the outside of the pencil is different than the inside wooden part.) Another one of my boys somehow broke his in half. I'm not quite sure how he did that. Now to take #2 pencils to the next level all we need is a scented pencil or one that glows in the dark...

I think these pencils were an amazing creation for kids!!! At first look their bright colors are immediately inviting. There was no arguing over picking their favorite color with each pencil being two different colors and for kids like my little one that always seem to press a little to hard and break their lead, i noticed it wasn't a problem anymore.. kids loved them, i loved them. Great product.

My daughters were excited to try the new Bic xtra-fun #2 pencils. My daughter likes to draw her family and friends so she went right at it! Loved that they were presharpened and the fun colors to select from. She finished her drawing l and colored it later and the pencils did not need resharpening at all unlike the others we have in our supplies for homework. Overall we were happy and she took them to school to show them off!

The pencils are amazing. My kids absolutely love them. They write great and the tip rarely breaks. They have not put them down. Every time they need to write something they are looking for the new pencils. The break resistance lead is the best I am not always looking to find a sharpener. They are an amazing, fun, colorful pencil.

Homework Tested and Approved
I really detest pencils, they have become an object of dread. Is it really too much to ask for a pencil that writes smoothly and has lead that isn't easily broken? With a 3rd, 6th and 8th grader there is a lot of homework in my house and the kids are always complaining about broken lead or pencils that won't seem to sharpen. When I was asked to try Bic Xtra-Fun pencils I thought they would be like the rest but I was wrong; these pencils are great! The two toned color is cool, the kids like that they look different and stand out. They write smoothly and consistently and when they need to be sharpened they actually sharpen. Really, who could ask for more? But there is more, one more very important pencil factor. The eraser. Kids and adults all need to erase at some point and no one wants to see their mistake or have pencil smudge" all over their work. Bic Xtra-Fun pencils erase almost flawlessly. They truly are a great product that we will continue to use and definitely recommend."

My children said that the colors were okay, that if they were brighter or had designs they would have been better. To them they were just pencils. As for writing with them they say they have not broken the lead yet. I also thought they colors were boring. They were not bright enough to be special.

BIC does it again with another amazing product. Not only do my kids love these pencils, so do I! Both of my children are firm writers and often break the pencil lead. This is no longer something we have to worry about. Since they are such hard writers, its often difficult to erase. This too, is no longer a problem. I would recommend these XTRA-Fun pencils to any child that is also a firm writer. Definitely worth every penny not to have to resharpen every couple minutes.

Erases all traces of your mistakes
I tell family and friends about these fun new pencils I got for free to try. I loved the colors and break resistant lead. But my favorite part was the eraser. For someone who pushes hard while writing it is frustratingId to never be able to get your mistakes completely off the page. And these erasers actually removed all traces! They were really excited to give them a try since it is back to school time. It sure makes doing bills, paperwork and homework much more enjoyable.

My son, Matthew, was so thrilled to get new pencils for the start of the school year and even happier to get to share a packet with a new friend. The bright, bold colors are fun to look at and sort out, but the break-resistant leads are the best! It helps to make writing fun and keep Matthew on task. Thank you Bic for making the most needed and basic school item the very best and keeping kids continuously engaged for learning!

(What would I want to know before I get this product?) how good is the eraser. the pencils are very easy on the eyes, and make it fun to write even if writing not your thing. The only problem we had with the pencils were the erasers came off really easy, I don't know if it was just our pack or if anyone else had this problem.

I love the concept of bright and bold colors. What child will not want to pick up and write with one of these pencils? The colors are so universally friendly young, old, boys and girls will have fun writing with these. Pick up a pack for your school bound child whether it's elementary, high school or college. These colors will entice all writers and creators. The art student or the young author! They would even make a nice surprise to some unsuspecting person unzipping their bag at school! These are the same great pencils we all grew up with and are used too just in better colors! #GotItFree

BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are Okay
I gave 1 set of pencils to a friend who has a 6th grade daughter who loves drawing; following is my friend's review in her own words: I didn't like these pencils. They do come in nice colors and the erasers work good but the pencils themselves bend and they do not sharpen very well. They hardly write as it is very light and pressing down harder hurts my hand and still they don't write like a regular pencil.""

Getting to try out BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils right when school is beginning is awesome! They have beautiful colors. My daughter had been asking for them since she saw an advertisement for them, she was very happy to recieve them. Now on to how they work. During my daughters homeschool we utilized the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. I noticed they write really lightly causing her to have to press hard and by doing so she broke the lead a couple of times, I would say that is still better than other #2 pencils as they break more. The erasers work very well when she would erase a letter to start over. Since adapting to the pressure required to write without breaking the led my daughter decided she loves using BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils and wants to use them each time she does homeschool.

Sketching with BIC Xtra-Fun Pencils
My son tried the BIC Xtra-Fun pencils. He likes to draw and found these pencils to be pretty tough as far as staying sharp and not breaking. A negative thing about these pencils is that you have to press harder on them to get dark lines. They do not blend out very well when trying to shade a drawing but they are easy to erase. Over all a colorful #2 pencil that holds up pretty well. I received this product through BzzAgent, for free, for the purpose of my review. Opinions expressed are 100% my own.

These pencils are like other pencils, except for the 2 different colors. My kids thought they were ok, but did not really like writing with them. I did sharpen them, but they did break kind of easily. Writing with these pencils are a little different than other number 2 pencils. I'm not sure I like it better. The kids were ok writing with them, but not so excited that they would want to write with it all the time.

These are great pencils. As a teacher I like to find pencils that sharpen easy and last. Thanks to the smooth and durable lead I hear the pencil sharpener much less during the day! The two tone colors makes writing fun and allows students to easily identify which pencil is their!

More Durable and Fun way to Write
I think the new pencils are a great option for kids to pic their favorite color! The lead did seem more durable though my lead still broke at the tip few times. Overall an improvement to the traditional yellow pencil. It might take a while for this to be chosen over the standard though, and I am not 100% sure that my kids found them to more exciting to use than say a pencil with characters or a theme. That being said, they were interested in getting their favorite color to write with.

These pencils are not only fun, they are also strong and durable. My son is starting second grade this year and nearly all of first grade, breaking pencil points was an issue. These are really holding up well and I'm confident that they will help make homework time easier, less stressful, and maybe even a little fun! These pencils write nice and smooth, which is important for young kids still learning to write. They also erase very cleanly, without leaving much behind. Which is also very important for young kids! The two-tone colors are fun and my son likes to choose which color he will use.

As far as pencils go, these are pretty okay. They come in a package of 10, so there are definitely plenty to go around, or to last the school year. The pencils are a great size, and they leave decent markings without too much work, on the paper. The eraser is amazing. The main issue with the pencils is that for me, I like an incredibly sharp, pointy tip.They come already sharpened, but for me the tip was still too dull. So, I had to sharpen them before using them. They are also incredibly soft. They are supposed to be break resistant, and yet they break incredibly easily. My niece was using a pencil and her tip, lead and pencil portion completely broke off. This isn't a huge deal, but kind of an inconvenience mid-project. Overall, it's an about average pencil, with an above average eraser.

I think these are an awesome buy they are No.2 pencils which seems to be the go to pencil! They are smooth writing and erase easily leaving a clean area and not one of those smudgy places you see with a lot of brands! The colorful designs are eye catching and has my kids looking forward to school work which is a plus in my book!

My Son Can't Wait for School
Thanks to bzzagent, my son can't wait for school!! We started getting his school supplies all ready for Kindergarten over the weekend and he was having a blast playing with his fun Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencils. He loves all of the bright, fun colors and because he's young, they're super durable making them easier for him to write with.

We really liked the colors on these pencils. The erasers worked well and they wrote smoothly. The kids loved the colors. My daughter has an electric sharpener and said that they ruin the electric one so she sharpens them with ease on a handheld sharpener. My two year old got a hold of a few and was able to snap them in half with no issue. My fault for letting a 2 year old get to it! On the plus side the tips while writing pretty much never snap while writing.

My son has had a good start so far to the school year. One major improvement I've seen myself is his handwriting. He's only in 1st grade but I can see an improvement in his writing already. One big plus on these BIC pencils is that he doesn't complain that they hurt while he's writing. Other pencils are very tough, and while BIC are very sturdy, they're not leaving his fingers aching after writing and doing a homework sheet. He's comfortable finding a good form while holding the pencil and he also enjoys homework time more now that he gets to choose a color". I think it's very important for a child to be excited about learning and these have provided us a little of that excitement. My little boy is a sharer and he's also let his classmates have a try at his pencils!"

Meh...cute colors but not inspiring
While I generally purchase BIC pencils mostly because I've grown up with the brand, and now use them for my school age children there's no real WOW factor with these pencils. I don't see much of a difference with the overall abilities of the pencil, same writing quality, not much difference in the sharpening exc. the colors do make the pencils a fun piece. I myself as a mother thought these were cute, but as for one of my children my 7 year old was not inspired by them.

My daughter and I were both excited when this BzzAgent package with free packages of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils came in the mail! I loved them because they came pre-sharpened (as a mom and a teacher, this is a definite time saver and a big plus in my book). I also noticed on the package that they had break resistant lead! The teacher in me got excited again! Sharpening and resharpening pencils is one of the biggest distraction for my elementary aged students. Anything that cuts down on that is wonderful. My daughter loved these, too! She thought the colors were great and wanted to use them right away! I warned her that the pencils didn't draw in colors because I thought she might be disappointed, but she didn't care at all and still wanted to use them right away! I asked her what color she wanted and she picked, all of them! I gave them all to her, she grabbed some paper and she got to work! My five year old daughter wrote stories for over an hour!! I couldn't believe how motivated to write she was by these pencils! So far, I am super impressed with these pencils! I can't wait to have my students try them out when the new school year starts!

I have 2 girls, one in 1st grade and one in 5th and when it comes to homework time in this house (or just any time using pencils) it seems like I am constantly sharpening broken pencils. First they were very excited to try out new pencils and I think the crazy colors had a lot to do with it. Second, I have not had to sharpen one pencil since starting to use them. They also don't seem to break as easy as other pencils we have had in the house. And I have heard no complaints out of the erasers either when I have heard on multiple occasions, Mom

Best thing since sliced bread.....
These pencils were amazing! When sharpening them, they have a funny rubbery feel to the wood, but it makes sharpening even easier. I found it almost impossible to actually break the lead, which was great since I always find it annoying when I'm sharpening my pencil and the lead breaks multiple times. My only complaint is that you do have to write pretty hard with these, since the lead is pretty dull. But the great, fun colors makes up for that!

Fun colors. Kids love them.
My kids really love these. They are instantly drawn into the fun colors of the barrels. Both of my kids were picking which pencils they wanted and then split them up equally. They've been practicing writing and drawing. We've been using a pre-k workbook and the pencils are great for working on the pages. My daughter presses hard as she's trying to figure out how to write. We haven't had the lead break on the pencil so that's definitely a plus. Another plus, they sharpen up really nicely. #gotitfree #bzzcampaign

Love these pencils!!! They are very comfortable to grip/write with. The bright colors make them fun to use. My youngest used some the first week of school that her nanny got her. She said that someone kept taking her pencils. I sent the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 fun pencils for her to use and she loves them!! She said now no one will take them because she knows which ones are hers!! I sent some of the coupons to share with her friends that love the cool" pencils she is using."

I received these two pages of pencils for free and several 1.00 coupons as part of a promotion to review and share my thoughts from BzzAgent. The pencils are bright and the color combinations immediately caught my attention, but my daughter was sad right away to learn the pencils were not colored pencils. Very deceiving. They are advertised to be ultra-solid, have break-resistant lead, and be easy to erase. I handed the pencil to my son so he could fill some of his school forms out, the lead broke right away. He didn't like how it wrote, it was to light for him. The erasers are great! No smearing at all, and they are very smooth. The bright colors and the great erasers are the best parts of these pencils. I did not like how they actually wrote, though. No matter how hard I pressed down while writing, I could not get as dark print as I would have liked. They also write very smoothly with almost total absence of the feeling that you are scratching the paper with the pencil lead. After both of my kids used the pencils my son let me know he wouldn't use them again and my daughter just loves the colors, but really doesn't like how it write. Over all we give it 3 out of 5 stars.. Colors of the pencils and the eraser are the best part.

Colorful, tough, and fun!
BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils have really sparked my soon to be kindergartener's interest in trying to write letter, numbers, and he has even made progress on writing his name. The break resistant lead is terrific, because beginning writer/printers can use a lot of force as they concentrate on trying to get it right. Those wonderful color combination on the two tone barrels are a lot more interesting to a kid than the plain yellow pencils that I grew up with!

BIC XTRA - Fun #2 Pencils are super fun!
As soon as I opened the package, I was in love with these pencils. First, they are the coolest looking pencils I have yet to see. Second, they write smooth and don't break inside the barrel. I think that is the most important feature. Finally, they make writing fun. My son is in second grade and he hates to write. But even he enjoys using the new BIC multicolored pencil. Just in time for back to school. I am so glad that I received two packs of these free in my Bzz kit from BIC and BzzAgent.

We love the fun colors and the sturdy lead. It doesn't break easily and they do sharpen quickly for us. We enjoyed the bright colors and both of my kids are looking forward to using the pencils in school this year. The only downfall is that I found the lead to be a little light (hard to read) on crossword puzzle paper when I snuck the pencils to use them for myself. It didn't stop me from using the pencils. I liked the colors!

Fun with Bic Quality Name
My daughter could not wait to go to school and start using her Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencils. Some of her friends were asking to borrow them. When she came home from her first day, she said her teacher wanted to know where I got them so she could get some for the rest of the class. She was impressed that the lead didn't break easily and the wood inside was in fun colors like the outside of the pencil. I shared the coupons with her teacher and added a little note stating that any major retailer has them. :)

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils...D&D Tested!
Our family plays D&D regularly, and we all know the rule that nothing but pencil is allowed used on the character sheets. So, during our last game, we passed out the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils explaining that they were our newest BzzAgent test item and we put them to the test. Our five teens were pleasantly surprised by the colors and how easy they were to erase. My oldest two boys (18 & 15) liked the pencils and said they had no complaints. Said they were cool". My youngest daughter (14)

The pencils are very catchy when you first see them. It almost looks like a package of colored pencils, until you take a closer look. My daughter loves the unique and creative pencils. She uses them for school and when she comes home to do homework. They work like regular pencils. They don't write hard and are very durable! Plus, they are ready to use right out of the package. I think any kid would find these pencils attractive and fun!

So I am a mom. A working mom. I'm also a professional costume designer and I run a studio space. Pencils- especially your standard #2's are purchased in bulk in my world. I like to have the basic yellow sometimes, but along with my office supply obsession, I often seek something fun to look at. BIC XTRA-Fun fit my bill perfectly! I am hard on my pencils- drafting patterns, tracing existing ones, drawing on fabric as well as paper. Also entertaining my 4 and 2 year olds who love to draw and color. My 4 year old has claimed anything with orange on it as hers" as that's her favorite color. My 2 year old- the lead slayer- goes for the blue. While I am drawing

I shared these with my neighbors who have elementary-aged kids and the kids love the unique colors and how bright they are! It's great that they're #2 and can be used for standardized testing, as well. They stand up well to multiple sharpening and last a really long time, and due to how different they look from regular old pencils, they don't get misplaced.

My initial thought on these pencils was, why? There aren't colored pencils, just normal #2 pencils. I rolled my eyes and just waited to see my 7 year old's reaction. Well, boy was I surprised. She was ecstatic and asked if she was getting this pack of pencils because she did her chores. Haha! Seeing her reaction made me think back to when I was a kid and anything new that came out was exciting and I had to have it! I couldn't blame her for liking them, she was a kid. The bottom line is that the kids go gaga for these and I'm okay with that...it's better than candy or video games...and a pencil in her hand is a gateway to creativity!

Kids are loving this pencil. We went school shopping and found them. The kids love the different colors. When looking for them had some people asking questions. I gave them the coupons I had to let them try them out. They had small kids and their eyes got big when they seen what colors the pencils were. Told them I was a Bzz Agent and had gotten free samples and coupons to pass out for others to try. I liked them for being a #2 pencil because in school that is what they want kids to use. Thanks for letting me try these pencils from BIC XTRA

Colorful pencils help my kids get excited about school work!
My children were super excited to use these pencils and are always clamorIbg over each other to get the color combinations they want when it is time to sit down and do school work. We also keep them in my purse for anytime we are out and about and need to occupy the kiddos (what kid doesn't love doodling?!). I was babysitting for friends and their kids fell in love with the pencils too! Gave her mom some coupons so she could buy a pack of their own! The sharpen nicely and the lead is durable. All I could ask for in a pencil and more!

Fun pencils that my kids love
These pencils from BIC are top notch. Not only are they super fun looking but they can withstand my 7 year old artist who thinks the harder he pushes in the lead, the better. It's been a few weeks are we are still on pencil #1. These pencils are surprisingly long lasting which is great when you're on a budget.

What an enjoyable pencil to use....
Before purchasing this product making sure it was worth it by seeing how well it worked, how well it stayed sharpened and overall the ability to have something different then the same one everyone else has. The break resistant lead makes getting up and sharpening your pencil happen less often. I am happy to see my children wanting to do their homework and using the new pencils.

I need to say straight off that I really love these pencils. My kids are using them at school and at home for fun and school work. They are sharpening well and erasing well and of course writing well. I really love all of that. They are fun colors and my kids love that. BUT, the thing is, they are a bit flexible. When I write with them, I have a really tight grip and press pretty hard, I can feel the 'give' in the pencil and that does take some getting used to. I never mentioned this to the kids because why point something out on a pencil they use at school that may distract them from classwork. Well, they figured it out on their own during the third week of school and when they came home they displayed with great enthusiasm the flexibility of their pencils. Of course, my oldest taught my youngest and they thought they'd have a bending contest. Of course I made them stop as that's Pencil Abuse" and we do not abuse our school supplies at home or while at school. I wonder what all of that pencil flexing did to the lead that is inside the pencil. I suppose I will figure that out once it's sharpened down to that length. I hope the lead is still intact and does not break or fall out once we are close to the point where they were bending the pencil. I do think these pencils are fun and colorful and work well. My kids are happy to have 'different' pencils from most of their classmates. Keeping the kids happy while at school and doing homework is half of the battle. #GotItFree #BzzAgent #BicXtraFun"

My kids were intrigued with the new pencils. I love that they are pre-sharpened. We bought another brand this year too that had to be sharpened. The cost of the BIC was higher - yes. However the other pencils with a bit of pressure break up high requiring a complete re-sharpen. The BIC EXTRA the very tip chipped off with a fair amount of pressure but the lead up higher stayed in tack not requiring a full re-sharpen. These are a nice fun addition to school supplies this year. Keeping my fingers crossed we can get through homework without fits!

First and foremost I think these are the most fantastic pencils I have ever seen. They do not have to be sharpened constantly like the rest. My daughter loves to draw , write and doodle with pencils and to my misery every 30 min, she wanted her pencil sharpened because the point was gone. These are amazing the point or lead lasts a long time and I am no longer asked to sharpen them continuously. When I first received these I really did not know what to expect, to me a pencil is a pencil. I was proved wrong. Not only does the point last longer, the pencil is smooth and continuously writes in the right shade. Not too light nor too dark. My daughter loves the different colored barrels, she changes them daily to her favorite" color. She has been doing more drawing

I love these pencils! I was excited to get these, because I had pencils similar to these when I was in school and I knew my kids would like them. I sent a pack with each of my kids to school this week and they were a hit! They are very colorful and my daughter loved that the wood inside the pencils were colored. They come pre-sharpened, which is a plus and they write great.

You've made a pencil-user out of me.
I had pretty much stop writing in pencil when I graduated High School, mostly because I didn't like how they wrote, and the led was forever breaking. I thought I was destined to forever be a ball-point girl. When I received the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils from a recent BzzAgent campaign, I immediately passed them off to my children, who have to use pencils for school work. After watching them actually loving to write with these new, colorful pencils, I decided to bring some to work, which led to me buying a whole package for my desk. I love how fun the colors are, and how smooth they write. In an era of technology and ink pens, pencils have kind of become obsolete in the workplace. These BIC XTRA-Fun #2 make pencils cool! I forgot how much more convenient being able to erase mistakes is, and how much neater they make things look. The bonus is that my kids love them, and are more enthusiastic about doing their homework because the pencils are not only fun, but a great quality. There are few things more frustratingId than a broken pencil led. With the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils, you just don't have this problem. We haven't broken the led yet, they sharpen well, write smooth and last a long time. I love them and my kids do too!

These pencils we have been using for a few weeks now and they are holding up great! My 3 children still love them and the tips are not breaking off and I'm not having to sharpen them constantly. My 5 year old did manage to break one in half and I'm sure he did it deliberately. Little stinker haha. The erasers on these pencils work excellent, much better then the standard pink erasers. I have already purchased more of these to have on hand. Great pencils that hold up well to 3 little ones.

My daughter saw these pencils and was awe struck by all the fun colors on them! We opened the package of pencils and she picked out her favorite color, blue. She couldn't just choose one though, because of all the fun colors she wanted to use them all! Great product, I like how all the pencils are already sharpened so I didn't have to worry about finding my pencil sharpener. Thank you!

This pencils rock they come in pretty colors but they write like regular #2 pencils which is awesome. My kids love doing their homework and drawing with them. They claimed their favorite colors and the rest are nice and safe for when they're needed. I also love the fact that the lead doesn't break when we're sharpening.

I like how unique and colorful these pencils are. They work well and my kids are loving having them. My son was excited that he was the only one in his class who has these so he doesn't have to worry about his getting mixed up with other kids pencils. The variety of colors is something for everyone. Each pencil in the package is different and have two different colors to them. They write well, nice dark lines, the erasers work great at erasing all the markings completely, Plus they are easy to sharpen. They do not have that plastic coating on them that make some pencils impossible to sharpen right.

Kids love these colorful pencils!
As soon as I opened the box and pulled the packages of pencils out my daughters were excited to use them. We immediately open the package and pulled out two pencils. Of course my daughters got to choose the color that they wanted which they really really liked. They drew and wrote with them all evening and for several days after. The lead seemed to last a lot longer than normal pencils, I didn't have to sharpen them after my girls used them for several days. The erasers work great too. I gave some to the kids in their class and they also really enjoy using them. The kids like being able to use pencils that are colored and it is great that they hold up to the kids using them. My youngest daughter usually ends up breaking the lead on regular pencils fairly quickly because she pushes on it too hard, but these held up well. I would definitely recommend these pencils, in fact I plan on going to the store and buying another package... or two!

Love the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils
I love trying new things as soon as they come out. My daughter and I saw these pencils at the store and knew we had to buy them!! Then I received the pencils for free from BzzAgent, to test and review! I love that the pencils are so brightly colored and my 11 year old daughter thought they were really cool. After testing them out we both loved that the lead was strong as we are both heavy writers and have the lead to break often in other pencils. The pencils wrote very smooth and erases very well. We love these pencils and will definitely purchase them again. My daughter was very excited to take them to school with her and share with her friends!

I received a free sample from BIC: BIC Extra-Fun #2 pencils and they came in handy just in time for the new school year. My daughter has been using them and she is liking them a lot! The tip brakes easily though but the eraser does a great job at erasing.

You know those pencils with the weird led and plastic type wood? No one likes those. These pencils are REAL PENCILS. And COLORFUL. What is better than that. I've had no trouble sharpening them. My kids love them. I LOVE THEM. I've been using them for taking notes in my college classes, they are wonderful.

Outstanding Fun and Function
I think that the Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils are an item that will be an annual item on our back to school list. Yes, they are pencils. But instead of being a ho hum item that the kids don't pay attention to, they grab their attention with all their colors. They also feel sturdy in their hands, and they are able to take the pressure of little hands pushing too hard when they write. They are easy to see and find when they fall on the floor or are misplaced on top of other things. There is no reason to go back to plain pencils again!

BIC XTRA-Fun XTRAordinary Quality
I think that BIC made these pencils look fun with their bright color combinations. I liked the feel of the of the pencil against my finger, some pencils dig into my finger and hurt when writing. Not sure if it's the design, or color combinations, but they seem a little thinner than the regular yellow pencils...easier to write with. BIC XTRA-Fun have ultra-solid break resistant lead! I hate sharpening a pencil and take it out...the lead is broken off! What I like the most is the eraser! Everyone makes mistakes. Most pencils have erasers that grab onto the paper and wrinkle it all up...these glide across, easy to erase!

I love the colors of these pencils, especially since the schools no longer allow the kids to have the typical decorated pencils because the foil coverings break teh pencil sharpeners. However, I feel like the lead is a little hard, like I have to press harder to get it to write, and I don't like that at all.

The kids seem to enjoy the fun colors of the BIC XTRA- Fun # 2 pencils. They are not overall excited about the pencils because in the end they are just pencils. They do like that they are different colors and the fact that they came sharpened. The biggest selling point to them was that they did not have to spend the time sharpening the brand new pencils.

Great pencils to change things up!
My daughter thought that these pencils are great. She pushes hard when she writes so it was nice not to have to sharpen every few minutes because the tips broke. Having the different colors made it fun for her to choose what pencil she wanted to use that day to go along with her mood. Homework wasn't quite such a fight when I pulled those out to use. My co-workers have school-aged kids also and they thought they were great as well. The coupons were nice to hand out so they could get some of their own also.

I wasn't sure what to think about these pencils. I thought they would be overpriced due to the colors and cheaply made. I was wrong. And I'm happy to be wrong. My 7-year-old loves sitting at the table and picking out a different color based on his mood or fancy. And they are sturdy pencils. Not once has the lead broke on him. #GotItFree

Kids are in love with these!! Said they write really nice and they need less sharpening. Other kids in their class asked them all about them they said. I am sending in a coupon for them. I didn't really think much about them, until my kids kept talking about them. They are a big hit in the classroom according to my 11, 9 and 6 year old! Well done BIC! :)

My nephew was so excited and opened it immediately because a pencil with different colors was new to him! He was used to using the old school one colored pencil (i.e plain yellow). He said it was ?cool?! I am not talking about a colored pencil here! The color that I am talking about is the body itself, F.Y.I! The quality of the pencil is good!

BIC XTRA-FUN #2 Pencils - GREAT FUN!!
While not having young children of my own, I do have co-worker who does. My shared office companion's daughter loved using these pencils. She was writing and drawing pictures for her mom as soon as she got them. They were easy for her to hold. The colors were bright. She has a huge smile on her face while her mom was taking pictures. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to assist in making this young ladies day, with these GREAT pencils!

Perfect Pencil for Perfect Kids!
I have four kids who go through a lot of pencils, and believe me, we have tried them all! So far these are definitely holding up to the test. The kids have dropped them, threw them, and even tried to break them. They're a lot stronger then the average pencil, you can grip onto them perfectly and they write beautifully.

My kids love these pencils. We had summer homework that needed to be done and I opened these. My boys felt relief. Normally during homework we would have to sharpen our pencils at least twice and each time we did it was almost guaranteed to break. That is not a problem with the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. The break-resistant lead blows the traditional yellow pencils out of the water! In addition to not breaking, we haven't sharpened the pencils since we took them out of the pack weeks ago. That's impressive and something that hasn't happened before! These pencils make getting homework done easier and more efficient. The two-toned barrels made no difference to my boys ages 5 and 9 but I can see where that might make a difference to younger kids. Overall, great product and something that Ill be buying in the future!"

Bic is the brand I usually go to when buying pens. I really enjoy the look of these pencils. Unfortunately they feel really brittle. As if they are going to snap in half as you are writing (they don't actually snap). I let my sister borrow one and oddly enough she said I just want to snap this pencil!" Haha So she must feel the same thing I feel. Also the erasers are net secured as well as a normal pencil. My two year old kept finding my pencil and pulling the eraser off. Now that pencil is no long good to me. :( over I do like these pencils because of the look. But I do believe you lose some of the quality."

These were the first pencils my kids reached for when it was time to pack up their book bags for school...Even my oldest son had a smile on his face when he was picking them out (that he of course tried to hide and not show he was at least a little happy to pick one out lol). I think I'm just as fascinated with them as my kids. Something to different to use instead of the normal boring old yellow pencils! And I love how they write. I'm usually a pretty heavy handed writer, and it hasn't broke on me yet the few times I've used them. :-)

They said that they got a lot of comments on how cool the new pencils looked with all the different colors. The pencils are very durable like the regular #2 pencils. These would be great to add to a back to school back pack for kids of all ages. I even enjoy using my 2 toned pencil. I will be purchasing more of these in the future.

I think Bic xtra-fun #2 pencils is an excellent idea. Not only do you get multiple colors, its also a fashion statement. The pencils seem hollow but are comfortable to use and write smoothly. The lead doesn't break like those other brands do. I will continue to purchase these pencils after this mission.

I think that the Bic X-tra fun #2 pencils are just that...extra fun. I know since I got these that my children do write more often. Handwriting is important and these pencils help parents encourage kids to write more by making it fun and colorful again. Handwriting is becoming obsolete in today's electronic age but it is a skill that should be preserved. Encourage your children to continue writing daily by purchasing these pencils. It will make your job easier and make it more interesting for them.

Good bye mechanical pencils, hello BIC XTRA-fun #2 pencils
My 12 year old niece is an avid mechanical pencil user so It was to my surprise, that she couldn't wait to use her new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. Forget the traditional yellow pencils, the break-resistant lead and two-toned color barrels of theBIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils even have me wanting to write with pencils again.

Fun pencils that even a 4 year old can use easily!
Form my years as a teacher, to being a stay at home mom, I've seen my share of pencils, both good and bad. I was certainly impressed with the Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencils! The bright, fun colors make finding your pencil easy, and the break resistant lead is strong enough to stand up to the use of my children, ages 2 and 4! I was the first to use the pencils, not for traditional writing, but for marking the walls to hang blinds in my house. The lead was dark marking without much effort. Next was my husband, for hanging the tv on the wall. Again consistant markings and no breakage that we have seen using a different brand. Both of us were impressed already! Next was my children. We just started writing with the 4 year old. Anyone in teaching or that works with kids will tell you that kids are rough on pencils! The break resistant lead was really put to the test, and performed wonderfully! I haven't even needed to sharpen it yet! My 2 year old used the pencil to scribble while her brother was writing, again, it performed so much better than I expected. I had extra pencils ready because I expected them to break, which they didn't! The bright colors make the pencil easy to plot if it's tossed or dropped to the floor, and the colors help keep them from fighting over pencils since they know which one is theirs. I can say without a doubt, these are some of my favorite pencils for kids to use. I am recommending them to everyone I know.

What an exciting and fun product that is also very much needed. Love the strength of the pencils, standing up to the not so gentle use of a 9 and 6 yr old. The creative colors have put a lot of fun back into writing instead of making it a chore. This house loves the pencils and the creativity it's inspired!

She said that she really loved the cool colors and how the colors were switched around on the inside and outside. She also liked that they are a little flexible and contour a little to hand and pressure. However, she did say that they write stiff". After asking for more information and her giving me a demonstration

These are #2 pencils but wayyy more than that! They have colors on the wood all the way through. They are break resistant so for the little ones just learning to write they will love the color and when they press too hard it is ok! The teens love these because they have to all be unique and these are great for that! Bic is ahead of the curve again and keeps kids happy! Great variety of colors but the lead is just a pencil that is extra strong! Great product!

My kids were very excited to use the colorful pencils. I also thought they looked really fun! The pencil itself was great when my kids were using them. The only downside was the pencil feels flexible/bendy but it is not. It breaks like any other pencil.

Ready to write but there's no sharpener for new unsharpened pencils that's when BIC Xtra-Fun pencils come in, no need to sharpen on first use.

I think that these pencils are okay, but they aren't as spectacular as I'd hoped. Whatever it is that makes the lead unbreakable (which is a great thing!), it also keeps them from getting sharp enough and writing crisply enough. As fun as the pencils are in appearance, and as nice as it is to have unbreakable lead, the pencils aren't so great to use.

I gave these pencils to my third grader. He liked the way they wrote and felt in his hand. He LOVED that the pencils were colored and not plain yellow like his other ones. I noticed that he had to sharpen them more so than the others. He said they broke all the time. This isn't a great deal to me, but I could see it being a problem when he's using them in his class.

The Coolest Pencils for School or Home
These pencils are awesome...first they are two toned.. which is pretty cool looking..then second the lead is break resistance, third they write smoothly, fourth they erase very well and fifth the lead is a #2 . I LOVE these pencils from BIC... BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are the only pencils I will buy from now on.. They erase super clean.. I love how they look, feel when writing ,I just love the awesome 2 tone coloring the pencils are.and the lead is really as strong as they say it is because I tried it with the hammer and it didn't break(I didn't hit it hard enough to damage the pencil, just enough so that the lead of a normal pencil would break) I am sold on these pencils.. They are fun to use.. I told one of my daughters about them and she loves them. I highly recommend these pencils. They would be great for school, like my daughter is using them for with her children. They are fun and awesome for home. I keep one by the phone and I don't have to worry about the lead breaking all of the time. I know if you would try them you will like them as much as I do.

I think the BICXtraFun pencils are great product. My child is 10 years old and very hard in school supplies, but this year the pencils have lasted a lot longer since we switched to the BICXtraFun. My child is in middle school and liked the fun colors as well. Middle school is hard and she don't mind using them.

Amazing Product To Spark Your Child's Imagination
I love these pencils and being a mother of two its hard to find a brand that stand a chance against my little monsters...But Bic by God you have done it again...Not only did the pencils stand up against my heavy handed children but they inspired them to open up and be creative..Bic you have lit a fire in my both of my children imaginations that I thought was long burned out..

Last year at back to school time we bought inexpensive store brand pencils, because really, a pencil is a pencil, right? Wrong. It was only a few weeks into the school year before my kids were asking for all new pencils, and specifically NOT the ones we had originally bought because when you sharpen them they disintegrate. Their comments were, When you make a pencil wouldn't quality control check that sharpening it will be easy?" I was speechless

I love these pencils.. But more importantly, my kids do too! With a third grader and a preschooler, I feel like we are constantly buying pencils. The kids always reach for the BIC XTRA-Fun pencils first, which I think is because of all the fun colors. I hate sharpening a pencil, just to have the lead snap, over and over-- this is not a problem with these pencils! And the erasers work perfect, no smudging :) another great product by BIC!

We have been using the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils for homework since we received the BzzKit and they are really great. We are still not having any issues with the paper tearing, or the pencil smearing when we erase and those are both huge for us. The lead writes smoothly and sharpens easily. He is really enjoying these and the bright colors make it fun to do homework. Thank you BIC for making pencils that get the job done and don't destroy your papers when you erase!

Kids love but pencils don't write dark enough
My third and fourth grade sons love the look of these pencils. It's the only pencils in their homework supply box that they want to use. And they don't break as often as other #2 pencils. However, my third grader is in special education and has trouble with fine motor skills so he does not press down hard enough sometimes when writing. These pencils have a waxy-like coating on the pencil tips and the writing doesn't show up as dark on the paper when compared to other pencils. I press harder so I tried writing a couple of passages with these pencils and then a normal yellow #2 and my writing with this pencil was definitely lighter too. I probably would not purchase these.

I think that these pencils are very colorful. I only rated four stars because I don't think the package clearly states that these are regular pencils. When I first opened our package I actually thought they were colored lead pencils. If I had bought them thinking that I would have been upset.

These pencils are awesome! As soon as my son saw them, he was begging to break them out. He is obsessed with erasers, so needless to say, we have a ton. He spent an hour matching eraser tops to the perfect pencil (he's a little OCD ;) ) He won't use any other pencils now... so we had to stock up. I personally love that they come sharpened and don't break easily! #BICXtraFun #GotItFree

My kids love all kinds of different pencils and when they saw these in the mail they got really excited. We really liked the fact that they came sharpened already as well as the fun colors. We had no problems with them writing as well as sharpening them more as needed. They enjoy doing homework with these pencils at home since their pencils at school are shared so they don't get anything special there to write with.

So I was able to use the pencils and let people know where I got them. One thing I was able to do was share the coupons. Which, with school starting, was an awesome way for others to try out the product as well. Seems these days kids want to stand out from others so having colorful pencils to start the year was the way to go. Not to mention how well these pencils write. My 4 year old loves to practice her letters now that she has something fun" to write with."

My daughter loved the colors. The lead is really strong and the points do not break like some other pencils we have tried. The eraser seems to work really well. It is hard though for my 12 year old to change from mechanical pencils. She hates to sharpen pencils and this is the only drawback.

I saw these and wondered if they would really be that big a deal because they aren't colored pencils (the lead isn't different colors), it's the outside and the wood that are different colors. But I brought them out and showed my daughters who are 7 and 15, and they LOVED them. They immediately scooped them up and saved them for their back-to-school supplies. They've both been showing them off in school and using them daily, and have had lots of comments from their friends. Luckily I've had coupons to pass out to the other moms too! These pencils are great. They sharpen well and don't break easily. They don't sharpen unevenly so they wear well. I now want to get some for myself!

I think the kids will be able to keep up with their pencils a little easier since they are so bright they will stand out from all the others. I haven't noticed any difference other than the colors though my kids have said the lead hasn't broken yet either which is a plus when you're taking a ton of notes. I would buy them again for my kids.

My kids (ages 11 and 16) think these pencils are terrific! They have switched from mechanical to the Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencils. I have to admit that I tried them and loved them! They write so smoothly and cleanly! I also tend to break pencil leads because I press too hard, and these held up--plus they look so cool! #IGotItFree #BuzzAgentJono

Had my children review these pencils first. With varying thoughts from my kids, I put these pencils to the test with consideration of what my kids had previously told me. These pencils are great fun colors. Very smooth writing, erase very easily, sharpen easily in an electrical and a manual sharpener. Pencils are bendy as my 9 yr old stated. Love the plastic eraser holder. Less concern for my eraser biters. Overall the BIC XTRA-fun pencils are a great product. Very child friendly.

My daughter can't wait to use her Xtra-fun pencils. Homework, art, grocery lists every chance she gets she pulls out her pencils. I was skeptical about the break-resistant lead, we go through a lot of broken pencils, but haven't had any of these break yet. I probably never would have bought these if not for the free sample, but they are now her (and my) favorite pencils.

I think this is a great quality and fun pencil. My children enjoy the feel and bright colors of the pencils. I snagged one for my school work and one i keep to write quick notes. One complaint i heard from a few parents that i told about the product was that it was pricey. Although they are higher quality parents of younger children don't want to spend extra on something like pencils. But they did say when their kids were older and the quality of their writing matters more so they would be willing to spend the extra money.

I have a child in 2nd grade and she usually has some type of homework to do every night so we used these pencils. So first off, I noticed that they didn't write very dark but that wasn't a big deal to me. My child was able to use one without it breaking and at first, I thought that was great. But once the pencil got to where it needed to be sharpened, we sharpened it and after only a couple of minutes, the lead broke. One good thing that I did like was that they did erase good. So while these might be fun colors, I don't think that they are really any different than any other pencils.

Haven't had any issues with them breaking at all, as a matter a fact these pencils are very flexible. My kiddos love that.. lol My only compliant is they don't really write that well. They work fine but if you...

Cool colors and excited kids
Fun pencils aren't always good quality pencils and my son always wants fun pencils. These pencils are the first ones I've found that don't break every time you try to sharpen them. And the cool color of the wood stays through the whole pencil! Which is one thing that my son absolutely loves!! He was so excited to take these pencils to his first day of kindergarten and now I can use them as an incentive to make him do his homework. Cool pencils equals excited kids!!!

I hid my girls BIC XTRA FUN #2 pencils just to see what would happen when they pulled out their crafts (a daily occurrence at our house). Well, as soon as they needed a pencil and opened their pencil box my 6 year old demanded to know where the pretty pencils" were. So there is no doubt in my mind that the BIC XTRA FUN pencils are the preferred writing utensil in our house. Me for the quality and mygirls girls for the pretty!"

Helping make homework fun!
My kids were so excited when these came in the mail. They loved the different colors and I do too! The lead is much more durable than ordinary pencils and that means less sharpening! One down side is that the lead is a little rough, which makes writing not as smooth as normal. I would definitely recommend these, but would give them 5 stars if the lead was just a little less rough.

Fun and durable but too light
BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils were met with a lot of excitement by every kid we shared them with. They have colored barrels and wood and are unlike you regular #2 pencils. They sharpen well and don't break as much, but, unfortunately, are very light - even when you press hard - so although kids love these pencils, their teachers don't as the writing is barely visible. We'll stick to Ticonderoga pencils for school, and keep BIC XTRA-Fun for home use.

My kids love these pencils. Even my freshman in high school wanted to take a pack of these pencils to school. I have a third grader and freshman in high school and send both of them back to school with a pack of these pencils and they were so excited about them. They love the bright colors and also how they write. The lead is durable and dark.

If you are looking for a pencil to meet the challenges of school children, look no further. My daughter has a heavy hand and it has held up to the task. She likes the idea of different color barrels. Makes them unique. I will continue to purchase and keep these pencils in our school supply drawer. Thank you Bic for another quality product.

I received the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils and my kids immediately all were fighting over who got them! I gave each of my 5 kids that can write 3 to include with their school supplies, and all of them tell me their friends (and teacher) keep asking where they can get some! I kept a few to write and play with. They come sharpened, which is really nice and time saving. They are very smooth to write with and hold in your hand, and the sharpen very smooth and easily! These are a great fun pencil and I will definitely purchase them in the future!

My kids were really excited to see these fun colored pencils. They were confused at first, thinking the lead was also colored! They have held up well and made summer workbooks more tolerable and will likely make homework a bit more fun, as well. I like that the eraser portion is plastic, rather than scratchy metal.

I have a 6 year old who just started first grade and she is doing a lot of writing. She loved the fact the pencils are colored! She said cool". I loved the quality. It's a strong number 2 pencil with a nice smooth tip. I liked the fact that the eraser did not leave any marks. I like that my daughter is motivated to write using these. We shared pencils with all her classmates and I gave the moms the coupons. I will defenitely buy this product!"

My kids love using the #2 Bic Pencils , they are so unique in style with the two-toned color barrels plus makes writing fun . They enjoy activities like drawing and doing their homework plus the lead doesn't break easy like other pencils do. I recommend these Bic #2 pencils to anyone that writes a lot . These Bic #2 pencils are made of great quality .

These new pencils are helpful for the younger kids.
that these are pretty durable pencils that last a lot longer than your typical #2 pencil. The younger kids get to feel like they are older and the tips do not break easily like a regular #2 pencil does. The eraser is also pretty good at erasing the errors that the kids make and does not tear the paper up when they erase is what I hear from my parents . They know that I am a bzzz agent and am always letting them try things to see what they think. I myself like them. However my older kids do not think that they are very cool since they use mechanical pencils .

Exceeding my expectations
We have yet to have to sharpen these pencils! I was initially pretty annoyed by the color the lead was producing. I usually like a thick, dark pencil, but these are pretty lite. However, after using them and not having the necessity to constantly sharpen them, they was something I was and am willing to adjust to. My kids still love them and are constantly asking to draw or write with these specific pencils. The fun colors are just one added bonus.

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are a good pencil to use for around the house and at school. I let both of my daughters try them out, they are 14 and 12. They are worlds different in their perspectives, so here goes! My 14 year old likes to think she is older than she really is, so the fun colors didn't really thrill her, she would've picked a regular color for them. She is also very talented when it comes to drawing and other types of artful endeavors. She said that for regular doodling, the pencils are good, but for serious drawing, they tended to drag on the paper. She said that simple writing, or when she was just writing small amounts, the pencils were fine, but if you had to write a lot, again, it tended to drag a little on the paper. On the other hand, with my 12 year old, the pencils were a much better suit. She liked that there was a variety of girly colors. The pencils were fine for whatever drawing or writing she had to do. Although, and this might be because my daughter is rough on things, the pencils tended to break more easily. For some reason she thought they were more bendy than other pencils, but that might just be my kid, lol. I think that these pencils are geared more towards fun endeavors and younger kids. I have given my husband some of the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils to take to work. So, I will get back to you on how they do with him....

I think the pencils were really cool looking and so did my kids! They even handed them out at school for their birthday treats. However, my oldest said that she is having a hard time getting them to sharpen correctly. They are nice pencils, just wish that that was easier to do for them.

These are a great concept, the fun colors pulls in the children's attention to grab it and use it, however they are just regular writing pencils. At first I thought they we're going to write in color, but once received noticed that wasn't the case. The only thing that sets them apart from the other number 2 pencils is the color of them, but they write just the same.

As a mother of 3, I have always been of the mind to get the cheapest pencils and I didn't care what they looked like. So, boy were my kids excited when I handed them these pencils. I heard them going around telling each other no...that's mine because it's this color and that color." And my son kept telling me he was excited because they were flexible. Of course

My son has a really hard time with school. He has a speech problem and separation anxiety that really makes school stressful for him, so when he comes home with homework, it's not something he really wants to do! However, since we received our BIC XTRA-Fun pencils, he has been more than happy to do his homework! He's always telling me how cool they look and to him it helps because he feels like they are a Super" pencil! It may sound funny to some

These pencils are sturdy, easy to sharpen and the tip never breaks off. You have to try to break it off!! I remember last year fighting with the cheap pencils that would constantly break and were so difficult to sharpen. No more of that for sure. And the kids love the fun vibrant colors.

These BIC XTRA-Fun pencils are fantastic! Once we opened them up and the kids were able to write and erase with them, they thought they were very cool. The package said they were somewhat indestructible, so we banged the led on the table and they didn't break!! They erase very nicely too! Thank you BzzAgent for sending me the free sample!

The kids are stealing them now
Here it is the third week of school, and the kids are just crazy. Every night after school we sit down to do homework and play musical chairs as they settle down. And inevitably someone doesn't have a pencil so they rush off to mom's office and start stealing my pencils. They say that all their friends at school love them so they share amongst their friends. I tell them they need to quit taking all the home stuff to school or else I will have to buy more. They dutifully request that I buy more of the BIC pencils and not the old fashioned yellow ones! Guess I will have to spend some time this weekend purchasing some cool pencils for the kids :)

Parents are amazed at the strength of the lead, and the cost of these pencils. I must say I am very pleased with the Bic brand. We love the name xtra fun, because they are fun colors, and extra fun to write with.

My kids absolutely loved these pencils. My daughter really loved the color, I have to go and buy more of them. She showed her friends at school and gave them coupons - they were asking her where she got them. They are colorfull and make writing even more fun. The great thing about these pencils is that they are #2 and can be used in school.

I think the Bic xtra fun #2 pencils are awesome for kids in school. On separate days I had two of my kids to tell me how awesome their classmates thought the pencils were. One of them told me they loved the colors and the design of the eraser, and the others thought it was extra cool that the pencils bend. How many times do kids put pencils in their back packAnd they are broke by the time they need them? My kid just love the fact if being able to write with a bent pencil!!!

Serious Fun for Serious Projects
My kids were so excited when these pencils arrived to test. While they argued over colors initially, even with 5 kids there were enough choices to go around. There are colors for every taste -- from the girly princess to the budding engineer. The pencils have a standard #2 pencil led which is great as they can have lots of fun choosing and writing even for the most serious of projects. I specifically like the break-resistant led, especially for my young writers who are in Kindergarten and fourth grade, who aren't always cognizant of the amount of pressure they apply when they write. Traditionally, I end up with tiny little pencils from a cycle of breaking and sharpening and have a feeling that won't happen with these, which would save money in the long run on pencils. I also like that the erasers are embedded nicely in the pencil, so they don't break out like other pencils. The only drawback to these super cool and fun pencils is that the writing 'feel' is different than with a standard pencil; when writing you don't have that same 'scratchy' noise most of us have grown up with.

Great quality, makes writing fun
I've come to see BIC is the leader in writing products (among others) over the years. Their pencils I've used my whole life are always excellent quality. They all write very smoothly and sharpen easily. The BIC XTRA-Fun pencils are no different quality wise. The addition of the bright colors adds a cheeriness that you don't get from other smooth writing pencils. These pencils don't clog up my sharpener (like other fun" pencils do) and my kids love picking out the pencil they want to use. The fact that they come pre-sharpened is another plus! BIC is always on my back-to-school lists but the new XTRA-Fun pencils will be on the top of the list from here on out."

Finally a new twist on an old idea. Always need pencils and not much you can do to change them. Work as well as ever. It helps kids enjoy using their pencils again! Use a different color combo for each class! Keep track of lent out pencils by color and you're assured to have them returned!

These bright colored pencils were the best for back to school. The kids were excited to choose their favorite colors and add them to their pencil bags. The erasers worked easily when the kids were working on homework and the point held up to the 'forceful' writers. These sturdy, colorful, #2 pencils made back to school 'XTRA-FUN'!!

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are STRONG!!!
I remember as a kid having to sharpen my pencils all the time because I liked to press down hard when I wrote and I would break the lead frequently. I also hated the pencils with the horrible erasers that left a black smudge on the paper instead of erasing properly. I wish I had BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils when I was a kid! I tried them myself, and they work wonderfully! The lead is very strong, doesn't break, and doesn't dull quickly. The eraser erases everything you want it to and doesn't leave any ugly smudge marks. And since they're #2, they're great for school! The kids love them, but the only thing they wish was that the colors matched more. Instead of green/purple, they want pink/purple and instead of red/green, blue/green. They love the idea of the different colors, but I agree that some of the combinations look wacky, not exactly cool" or "fun". Aside from some of the colors

Great pencils for any kid
BIC XTRA-Fun pencils with two-toned barrels are exciting for any kid. Whether they are doing homework or just doodling, the kids will want to pick their favorite color combo and write away. The special break-resisitant lead makes writing more simple. The lead doesn't shed away as you are writing or break off as easy. The two-toned barrels make it exciting to pick their favorite colors. I do not believe they sharpen all that easy compared to regular yellow pencils, however, the break-resistant lead is well worth it. You do not need to sharpen them as often as regular pencils. Great product.

The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are better than I expected them to be. I thought the lead would break all the time and that they would be difficult to sharpen and that the erasers wouldn't work very well. I must say that I'm surprised that none of those preconceptions turned out to be true! And the different colors are so fun! My son definitely has his favorite pencil in the bunch.

I think the pencils are so FUN! The kid, I have 8, have made me purchase more and more! They each sort through the colors but no reason to argue because the variety of colors gives no reasons to bicker which is AWESOME! BIC did a great job revamping a simple EDUCATIONAL tool by making it different. Not sure why that thought took so many years but they are spot on! Thank you BIC for being the next pencil trend.

My daughter (9yo) loved the colors! They write smooth. They sharpen and erase well. I wish the eraser was larger because my kids will go through the short eraser very quick. I also wish they wrote darker--The leads do produce a lighter line than most other pencils. They are pricey in the stores. Overall great product!

Two-Toned Color Barrels are XTRA-Fun
My 3 year old and my 18 year old both love the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. Well actually, I love them too! From the moment, you open the package they just make you happy with all of the bright colors of the two-toned color barrels. These pencils are so unique no one else makes anything like them! They are so fun to draw with, do homework with and just plain do every day writing with. I really love the break-resistant lead because I have the tendency to press down really hard when I'm writing so I'm constantly breaking my pencil leads. So having a more durable pencil is so AMAZING!

My kids really liked these pencils! The lead did not break like regular pencils do sometimes (my son tends to push really hard when he uses pencils and tends to break them) and the pencils were very flexible so that they don't break easy which also happens in our house often. They liked the colors too. I also used the pencils and liked them. Writing with them is a little different than regular pencils. It's almost as if it doesn't glide across the paper as easily as regular pencils, but I do like these pencils.

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils have stronger lead
My kids and I were excited to receive the new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. I'm a teacher so I love new school supplies. The colors are awesome and the kids love them. The lead is stronger than typical pencils which works great for the kids. Personally, I prefer the softer lead because it's smoother to write with on paper. These feel a little scratchy" when writing on paper. The kids don't seem to notice at all so it could just be that I'm so used to typical pencil lead and I'm also very picky about how my pencils write. I'm also more careful about not pushing down hard with pencils so breaking isn't usually an issue for me

Soft lead, but break resistant.
BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are indeed break resistant. They stay sharpened for a remarkably long time compared to other #2 pencils. They also sharpen easily, without the lead breaking. The colors are fun for the young kids, and my kids couldn?t wait to try them! If you have children that constantly break pencils, this would be a great pencil to try! However, we quickly discovered some drawbacks while using these pencils. First, they are a ?soft? pencil, meaning you don?t get a sharp, dark line while writing. The kids may not mind, but it is a personal pet peeve of mine when using pencils. The next thing we noticed was the eraser. My 9-year-old daughter insists that it doesn?t erase well enough. But, after testing it against several other pencils and erasers, I found it worked about the same as any other #2 pencil we had in our house. However, the band around the pencil that holds the eraser onto the pencil, which is usually metal on other pencils, is plastic on BIC XTRA-Fun pencils. This may seem like a good thing, or at least a fun change (since they?re more colorful) but they break easily. With young kids in the house who aren?t so gentle, we quickly had a few pencils that were missing the erasers entirely. Overall, these pencils are just ?okay.? Probably best for those who don?t mind a soft lead, or have a lot of extra pencil topper erasers they want to use up.

Writing With BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils
Received the fun two-toned #2 BIC EXTRA-Fun pencils and immediately kids wanted me to open them so could pic their colors they wanted to keep. So off they went to them and I kept a couple for myself to try. I handed out the rest to my customers and friends for them to try as well. (Along with the coupons for them to buy their own.) I was happy to see how easy the pencil lead erased from paper pretty well. I was not pleased with the break resistant and found my son had broken a couple. The pencils are very soft to hold and bend to easily, felt to flimsy to use for me. The sharpening of the lead worked great and times and couple times not so great. My biggest issue was the lead was not a sharp point type writing, instead was a soft or sometime seemed blurred double writing. I have had no issues with the erasers coming off like I have with the metal ones that are easy to squish/bend. Loved knowing when erased lead off pencil it did not become a huge black smudge on the paper. Kids have not complained much about them, other than who got what color. :)

My 10 year old son loves THE BIC XTRA-FUN #2 PENCILS! I had bought him the traditional yellow pencils for school and they are still wrapped up. When the pencils came in the mail, he was amazed at the different colors. He hated writing, now he finds an excuse s o he can write with the BIC pencils. I have to admit, I love them myself. They are not just for children, they capture the attention of adults as well. They seem pretty durable compared to the traditional pencils. I know I will be buying these now instead of b the traditional pencils,. Thanks BIC for these amazing pencils!

They love that the lead didn't break but loved the two colors of and sharpening the pencils to get the colors on the tips. They just had fun with the new bic Extra fun #2 pencils They had a great time seeing who's would last longer and who had the best drawings without the lead breaking

My daughter Kylie, loves these pencils. She has even went to school and talked to her friends about them and also gave them some as well. She is such a great person to share her stuff that we get from BZZAgent. She even tells them where I get my free things from as well. We have used the coupons and also shared them to others as well. This is a great pencil. Stylish and works well. Smooth and my daughter loves them too. I sure hope that Bic continues to make these for years on end, because they are the best for my child while she is in school. She has had many of her friends ask her where she got them and they would also ask if they could have one and she would share her pencils with them. Thank you!!!!!

These are awesome pencils. They are not only colorful but very strong. They are so durable that they hold up well to a 2 year old drawing and throwing them. She has yet to break one. Even as durable as they are they are surprisingly easy to sharpen.

Fun Colors makes writing exciting !
The first thing that attracted my son to these pencils was the different colors. I thought he might get them confused with colored pencils but he assured me that he would know that difference and I can say he was right. He was excited about going to school to write. They are very durable and they don't break. Less breaking tips means less sharpening and it was a plus they were already sharpened when purchased. He even had a few followers in his class buy them because their pencils were breaking all the time. The pencils are good quality .These pencils write smoothly and the erasers work well. They aren't destructively abrasive to paper. I also found that by holding the pencil vertically, that flat point can lay down some nice light gray shading. I just wished they had come in a 12 pack verses the counts that are available.

My son loves the feel and look of Bic's XTRA-fun #2 Pencils! The fun colors definitely eased the bore of having to do homework. And the feel/flexibility kept his hands from cramping and having to takes breaks. Homework was finally a breeze!

At first I was a skeptic about these pencils due to the tips being broken in the packaging but they are amazing! Week 6 of the school year with 3 children worth of homework and I have never had to sharpen them! Not even once. BIC has made a believer out of me. My kids are loving the colors combos. They erase cleanly. When they fall onto our hard floors they don't even chip. These are some of the sturdiest pencils I have ever used. The BIC Xtra Fun #2 Pencil is worth every penny.

My 8 year old son loves the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 pencils! He thinks that it's awesome how they are 2 different colors when he sharpens them. He said that they're really easy to write with and don't break too easily. I like that they come pre sharpened, so I don't have to worry about making sure that all of his pencils are sharpened before school starts (because who has time for that) ;)

My girls are always ready to get their homework done because they are so excited about using the color wands"

I am very pleased with these BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. I love that they are two-toned, it really makes them fun to use. I am a college student and have been using these pencils to do my coursework. I am very pleased that they are strong and sturdy and that they are easily erased. My daughter (8) and son (4) have both enjoyed using these as well. My 4 year old is always rough with writing utensils. Holding to tightly and pressing too hard, but these have been great and have stood up well.

School has been back for 3 weeks already and we have already had to replace the 20 pencils that I send to school with my daughter. They have a tendency to be eaten by the pencil sharpener. She says they are horrible and wanted me to buy her new ones. They are cute I will give you that but they are not functional.

So excited when we received the pencils! At first we thought there were color pencils. But that what made the pencils fun! These pencils are so fun and cute looking, even though they just write with regular black lead. The pencils work very well. They are easy to sharpen and they do write well. The erasers also work well. I am always looking for an eraser because they tend to pop off the ends of pencils. These seem to be well attached. A standard pencil with a touch of color. This is a nice change of pace. The pencil itself is a little bit flexible, and the colors are varied. They write smoothly . Haven't found any issues

Having elementary school children, I often find myself vacuuming up lead from pencils. When the pack arrived the kids were excited because they thought that the pencils were colored pencils. When they were informed that the were actual pencils, they thought that they were so cool looking. They were excited to bring the pencils to school. It's been 2 weeks now and I have not heard a single complaint and I asked the children about them and they said they work fine and they haven't been breaking when sharpening them like the old ones.

Well the girls are still writing and I can say that I have not had to sharpen a one pencil. The erasers seem to be lasting a while too because we have been doing long division in our house and there has been a ton of do overs" with that. I would definitely recommend these pencils for homework

My children tried out the BIC EXTRA fun pencils. These are great, near impossible to break, and they bend.. how awesome is that. Very useful when it comes to homework. They do not require as much sharpening as others. I'd give these pencils an A+. If you're looking for a pencil that will last awhile, check these out. My daughter is prone to breaking lead every time she uses a pencil, not these. Very sturdy lead. Received this product free for review through BzzAgent. Will purchase again.

I loved that they were pre sharpened. I hate sharpening new pencils. They hold up well, erase well, and they're fun and colorful.

Great pencils for small kids
My daughter is in 4th grade and is extremely picky about her pencils. She wants them cute and fun looking but they have to write well. The leads have to be sturdy and smooth writing. We found all of the above in the Bic Xtra-Fun Pencils. She has used them the last two weeks of school and absolutely loves these. She loves the fun bright colors and more importantly they stand up to the use. (4th graders are still very hard on pencils when they write!) I have already bought more to make sure I have enough for school and home for the entire school year. Thanks Bic for a great new product! (I received a set of pencils to sample)

Fun but creates false hopes
Whenever I bring these out for a class, the kids always get excited about them. Also, on the breakresistant part, i have not had any kids break their lead...but one of my boys broke his entire pencil in half. Im not quite sure how he did that....Anyways, the two toned colors are very fun. The only thing the kids find disappointing is when they discover it an ordinary pencil and not a colored one....which brings me to an idea, what if the two colors on the pencil were swirled together in the lead? I know it wouldn't be a traditional #2 pencil, but it would be a fun pencil.

A pencil both Mom and kids love
My 3 boys love BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. They look forward to doing homework everyday because they know they get to pick out a fun colorful pencil. As a mom, I love the break-resistant lead because that means less time sharpening pencils. I'm also a huge fan of the smudge-free erasers, they are definitely one of the best erasers that I have seen. I will be purchasing these in the future. Note: I received a sample from BzzAgent but all opinions are my own.

A few more redeeming qualities
I supposed I may have been a bit harsh in my last review that I just wrote. The colors are just not that impressive. In addition to what I wrote, I think the colors would be really cool if these were actually colored pencils. So I rated them down because they don't live up to the hype of only two-toned barrel out there". While it's true

So my 8 yr. Old loves these new pencils to draw with. On the other hand my 12 yr. Old daughter will not use them for school because she said she doesn't like that they write so light. I think they are great for drawing because pencil marks get erased very easily but I prefer a darker lead when I'm writing with a pencil. I do love all the colors..my son was very popular the first week of school, he shared with some of the extra pencils with his friends. #GotItFree

Colorful & Bright BIC XTRA-Fun Is Sure To Delight
I am in love with these pencils so much that I went out and bought the rest of my store's stock. I am handing them out to all my Nieces & Nephews for school and keeping a pack for myself. They write nice, are colorful, and are break resistant. They sharpen nicely also! This product is a job well done by BIC.

I loved receiving the samples of the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. My kids and granddaughter love using them to write and doodle. I'm impressed with how the lead withstands the roughness of the kids. The bright, vivid colors added more interest to these pencils and has my kids reaching for them when it's time to do their homework. Be sure to give them a try, you won't be disappointed. They'll make great stocking stuffers with the coming holidays.

These pencils are decorated in fun colors and are very high quality. Both of my teenage daughters loved them and begged for more. There are a lot of high quality pencils on the market but they never seem to have fun colors or designs. And pencils with fun colors and designs always break so easily. It's nice to finally have pencils that do both!

I think bic xtra fun pencils are a great product. I got chosen to review them freed from bzzagent and they couldn't have picked a better person. I have 4 kids in school and setting them down to do their homework was so hard until I got these pencils in the mail. They couldn't wait to start writing with them and doing their homework. They write really well and they erase very easy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

I do enjoy these pencils. My only issue is they are a little to soft" for me. They do not write as dark as I like or prefer. But i do love how the colors are bright. They are great for children to grip and hold and most of all they come in fun colors! They are fantastic for children but as an adult I like pencils they do not have the soft feeling when writing and write darker."

Cool to look at, but not high quality
My boys both said that they liked the fun colors of these pencils, but they didn't like the lead. They said they had to push much harder to write with these pencils and they were squeaky. They said the erasers work very nicely. I tried one out myself and I'd have to agree with my boys. I just didn't like the feel of the lead and it was a soft line, not a nice sharp one.

U breakable put to the test
I have a 4 and a 2 year old that constantly creating, or destroying, so I figured that would be a good test to the Unbreakable claim. It was not just a claim. My children are rough on drawing and writing utensils and I'm constantly sharpening or picking up pieces. So far as long as we've used these pencils the only time I've had to sharpen them was when they became dull. My son drew the attached picture of toothless the dragon .

They are reasonable as far as pricing and with pack to school and sales we have stocked up to make it thru the school year. Great product. The colors are great so much better then boring yellow

I think that BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are pretty cool! They're colorful and fun, but they're also practical. My kids liked the bright colors, and they're also perfect for using at school since they erase fairly easily and sharpen nicely. They do seem to write a bit lighter than traditional yellow pencils, but we didn't find that to be a problem. Overall, I will definitely plan on buying these for my kids for school in the future.

Colorful and fun new pencils
We received our Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencils about a month ago and my kids have been testing them out. My almost 2 year old was having fun writing on her brothers' notebooks and my 11 year old was mostly having fun trying to see if he could break one. Let me just say these are some strong pencils. He did finally get one to snap after several days trying. We really liked the two toned colors of the pencils. I actually kind of hoped they lead would be colored they were so pretty. I will say that they do not have the fine line abilities of pencils that have refillable lead and for neatness reasons I would choose those first. But the Bic Xtra Fun are a nice change of pace and they are very strong.

Xtra Fun and Xtra Functional!
These aren't your parents' #2 pencils, kids. With bright colors and two tone barrels, writing just became a lot more fun. Unlike plastic coated pencils, these won't destroy your teacher's pencil sharpener. They feel softer and smoother than plain old generic pencils, too. But wait, there's more! These pencils aren't just for taking notes and doing your homework, they're also a great medium for sketching and shading. The only con we've found is that unlike a regular pencil, these are a little bendy. I'd be nervous about breaking them accidentally.

My little ladies absolutely love showing off their 2-toned Bic XTRA fun #2 pencils! One of my daughters uses hers daily and often is asked where to get them. Whenever her fellow students ask to borrow" her fabulously colored pencils she cleverly hands them a coupon instead. Both my girls love these pencils with their fun colors and rave about how the leads don't break like traditional yellow pencils. Also

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils Are Fun!
We received the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils right before my daughter began her freshman year of high school. She carries of pack of the pencils in her pencil case in her backpack, and I took some of them to work with me. We love the fun colors and the fact that the pencil leads don't break easily. It just makes me smile when I'm using one of the pencils because the colors are so fun. The only downside is that they don't write very dark. We both feel like they write kind of light for being a #2 pencil. Still, they do write, and we have been using them for work and homework. #GotItFree

The pencils are good quality, but not quite up to excellent. There's a compromise to be made between durability and a rich dark line. These pencils lean toward durability, so they don't write quite as dark as I like a #2 pencil to. They write smoothly though. And the erasers work well. They aren't destructively abrasive to paper. I thought they might be replaceable, but after pulling one out, I found they couldn't be put back in. So no-go on replacements. They do have an interesting characteristic. On the package is a picture of one of the pencils being tapped on the point with a machinists' hammer. It looked like an amusing test, so we couldn't resist trying that out. We found a small hammer and tapped lightly on the point, and sure enough, it didn't break. It gradually mushroomed into a wide flat shape. We then found that by holding the pencil vertically, that flat point can lay down some nice light gray shading.

Exciting, colorful pencils!
My children were very excited to get some colorful, cool pencils in the mail. The color choosing began immediately. They loved the mix of colors. The children were eagerly looking for a reason to use these pencils. The pencils were durable and attractive however, they don't seem to write as dark as a regular no. 2 pencil. I believe this must be from the break resistant lead. The pencils may not be good for writing a longer paper due to the feeling that you need to push harder for the writing to show. Math would be a great subject to use these pencils with. Regardless of the extra effort exerted while writing, everyone truly liked these pencils. Our friends included. :-) Thank you!

I think that's these pencils are not only super cute, but they work well too. My 9 year old son was drawn to the bright colors and even shared them with his friends. He also liked the way the eraser worked and that the lead was strong!

These pencils are great! They have a thicker lead than the normal number 2 pencils, so they don't break easily. They are also colorful, so that makes it more fun to write. They do look like lead pencils though, but aren't. They are number 2 pencils. Better than the traditional one's. :)

BIC Xtra-Fun #2 Pencils are awesome
My daughter was super excited to get to try our BIC Xtra-FUN #2 Pencils because of the colours. But she was shocked to realize that they are completely bendy. And I was pleased to discover that the lead didn't break very easily and. The colours are really fun and my daughter has enjoyed them so much that she has been writing a book! I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The opinion is my own.

We are absolutely thrilled with the new BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils!! Who would have thought #2 pencils could be fun! The girls like the fact that they can finally have pencils in fun colors. They love the grip and the give" the pencils have. This makes them easier to grip and not so "hard". Our 3rd grader said they are so much easier to write with and her penmanship has improved a lot. Thanks BIC for another great product!!"

We have been teaching our daughter how to write her name and as parents we think that she really enjoys it more because she gets to pick out which color pencils she would like to write with. The Bic Xtra Fun pencils are great because the lead does indeed remain unbreakable even with a three year old pressing the point into her pages, just to dot her i.

As soon as my kids (8&3 year old) saw these, they were ecstatic. These pencils are bright and colorful which they loved. The point/led is just as good as a regular pencils and best of all it's a #2 pencil required by schools. These pencils make writing so much more fun. I would definitely recommend.

My daughter loved the new pencils
Here are some of my 12 year old daughter's comments about the Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencils: The colors are awesome and I can find them easier if they fall out of my case into my backpack" "They are different from everyone else's pencils" " The erasures have stayed on the pencils" " I like working on graph paper with the pencils. It writes neat lines.""

My kids loved the bright colors and that there were a bunch of colors on one pencil. They wrote and wrote with these pencils and didn't have to sharpen them for a really long time. Plus the lead is so hard and doesn't break if your kid writes really hard, like my son. I have told a bunch of friends about them and have handed out the pencils to my kids' friends. They were also excited about them. Great job. Now it's once less thing to have to deal with when it's homework time.

When I got this mission I was actually thinking Bic Extra #2 Pencils were color pencils, because of they're vibrant colors and not regular #2 pencils (I must have read wrong oops). I do like the two tone colors that Bic Extra Fun pencils have. They are eye catching for the the kids.So my 9yr old & 10yr old gave me their review.here it goes, they love the colors because they are not just yellow and the eraser's because they are on really good that they don't get loose like the yellow pencils. Also they erase easily and have less shreddings. The bad thing about Bic extra fun #2 pencils is that the kids didn't like that its a light lead when they write even when they press down hard its still light for them and that it also feels like the pencil will break. As a matter affect my 4yr old broke one in half and the 2yr old bent one. The lead may be strong to break when writing but the whole pencil isStill easily breakable. I tried them and I do agree that the pencils feel and write lighter.which I think is good because I don't have to remind them to write lightly. I did buy them some more Bic Extra Fun #2 Pencils for their back to school supplies and they were happy to have two tone color pencils. I was lucky enough to try out Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencils from Buzzagent for free

We Love Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils
My son absolutely loves these pencils! You probably all want to know about these before you buy them. Well the barrels all come in bright colors but do not let that fool you because they are actually # 2 pencils with break resistant lead. The pencils are easy to hold and write great! and the kids love the colors of them. What a clever idea Bic!! I will not go back to a regular #2 pencil. My son uses them in school daily and for homework and projects. He loves them !! Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencils has a thumbs up from our family!! Try them for yourself i bet you will love them to!

Kids Love Them But They Are Loud!
Two of my kids took the pencils to school and loved them! My 2nd grader said people wanted to trade pencils with him because all of the kids loved the fun colors! I will have to say though that when you are writing with them the lead makes a loud, squeaking noise - very annoying and I'm sure that would annoy a teacher or other students during a test. I also found them a bit more difficult to sharpen. It seemed to take longer to sharpen each of them. All in all, I would say that BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are a hit with the kids, not so much a hit with the adults.

The incredibly bendy bic pencils
I really love these pencils. I opened them and used some and gave the rest to my three sons. All three boys liked them a lot. These pencils come in a rainbow of colors which is nice for all children and whatever color they like. My boys have used these both at home and at school and all really like the bendiness of the pencils, they say it makes them harder to break. These are something I will add to the school supply list from now on. These are well made and colorful but are also worth the money.

We were very excited to try out these new pencils! As a homeschooling mom of 4, we are always looking for colorful school supplies to liven up our day. Unfortunately, these pencils did not live up to what we expect from BIC products. While they may be fun and colorful, they weren't all that practical. To see any writing, you have to push down harder than usual and then the pencil lead breaks. It's hard to describe exactly how these pencils write, but it's not the best quality.

When I received my BzzKit with the BIC XTRA-Fun pencils, my boys (8 and 6 yrs old) couldn't wait to tear into them! They both thought they were great looking pencils. At first, though, they thought they were colored pencils. I had to explain that they were like regular #2 pencils, but just in a colorful body". They have been using them for a few weeks now at home to do homework

Both of my kids were excited to try out the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils that we received from BzzAgent. My 13 yr old daughter loves to draw and write stories. She decided to give the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils a try while drawing a picture one evening. She typically uses either pencils or lead pencils so that she is able to erase any mistakes she makes, although she normally has to either sharpen the pencils (due to the points breaking) or click for more lead constantly. After finishing her picture, she brought me the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencil that she had been using and asked me to feel the point. It was still sharp. It was then that she informed me that she had NOT sharpened it once the entire time she was drawing. Not only did the pencil point not break, but it stayed sharp. She also said that she now prefers the erasers on the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils because they erased much cleaner than any other eraser she has ever used. My 10 yr old son decided he wanted to try out the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils, too. He enjoyed being able to choose from the fun color combinations and really liked that the points did not break and stayed sharp. It has always been a struggle to get him to do his homework and to stay focused, but now, knowing he can use a BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencil to do it, he actually ASKS to start his homework every day AND stays focused! We LOVE the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils in our house!

Kids go crazy for these Pencils
My 2nd grader went back to school recently and brought a package of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. He came back the first day asking to bring more, as his classmates were asking to use them! We went out and bought some more for him to bring in the next day. He told me that all the kids thought they were awesome. They loved writing with them, and were so much better than the normal yellow pencils. I'm sure his teacher loves them just as much if it gets the kids writing more often, and enjoying it! These pencils make writing fun! They are colorful and just looking at them give you ideas on what to draw! We will definitely be getting these pencils from now on!

As a elementary school teacher, I have seen all sorts of pencils through the years and usually the fun ones the kids like (colorful, shiny, character, etc) are the worst pencils. I was skeptical about Bic Xtra-Fun pencils to say the least but I put them out for student use the first day of school. The kids loved the colors but the real test was yet to come- the electric sharpener. Any teacher can tell you only yellow #2 pencils sharpen well in an electric sharpener and most of the colorful ones are actually wrapped in a plastic film which ruins the sharpener by gumming it all up. We are 2 weeks into the new year and Bic Xtra-Fun pencils are still a hit with the kids and my pencil sharpener is working just fine. I have gone out and bought several more packages of Bic Xtra-Fun pencils and was very happy to find they are also reasonably priced.

These pencils are fun colors and bendy" The kids love to pick a color to do homework and draw. They love that they are "bendy" and the points don't break off every 5 seconds while using them. We have even dropped them and the points stayed intact. Great product and I highly recommend !!"

Just adds a little spice to the old number 2
After using these pencils for a while, I have noticed that they do not seem to need sharpening quite as often as the regular ones. Maybe thats my imagination, but it's one less step in the homework process and that makes me a happy Mommy!!

My son is 15, but when those pencils arrived he was so excited because he never seem before and thought they were so cool. He has been using them ever since to draw and doodle we have. I like the bright colors. I took a pack to work with me for my pre k kids can use. Well I had to go buy more because they were so in love with them they wore them down, since they were able to erase what they don't like. I give the pencils a A+

These BIC XtraFun #2 pencils are colorful and attractive. They write and erase fine. Not as strong as I thought it would be. The color of the lead as I write isn't as dark as I thought it would be as well. But it did make it easier for me to try and get my child to write and do his work books. They look fun and catch many people's attention.

Happy pencils = Happy kids
My kids love these pencils! They make homework a little less painful and a lot more fun. Spelling and math are exciting with these happy pencils. As a mom, I even borrow the pencils. The colors are so joyful and vibrant. I love the purple ones the best! The lead seems superior over any less expensive pencils. No easy breakage. Super strong. The eraser seemed nice, but I didn't feel like it lasted as long as I hoped for. Kids make lots of mistakes. I wish the eraser lasted long, since the pencils seem geared toward kids. Otherwise, great pencils. I would recommend these over any other brand of pencils available. The price was perfect as well. Yes, go buy some right now, you won't regret the choice!

I think that the Bic Xtra Fun pencils are a great idea. The colors are exciting to kids. The mixed colors on one pencils add to that. The stronger lead is definitely needed. I found my children and others having to press down harder than normal. The lead didn't show up dark enough when writing. I really found this to be a hinderance and that is the only reason I gave it only 3 stars. On the outside it is a great product, but the lead is the issue I most encountered. When I tried using the pencils, they really didn't even write on some types of papers. If it is # 2 lead it should write the same, but it doesn't.

Bic XTRA Fun #2 pencils are a pleasant surprise!
I gave these to my kids for the start of school because they were colorful and, well, fun. After a week of classes I asked them what they thought. I expected comments about how cool they look or whether the lead writes too light or too dark. Instead, my daughter said she really likes them because the lead seems stronger and doesn't break easily. While this is not the answer I was expecting, I was quite pleased that she was happy with the product and I will definitely remember this product in the future! I thank Bic for allowing my family the opportunity to try these pencils out and to be happily surprised by the durability of them. I am already sharing coupons with friends and coworkers who have children in school so that they can also try out this great product.

These pencils are great! Not only do we as adults love them the kids love them even more. The colors are bright and fun! The lead is super strong keeping them from breaking and having to sharpen them more often. They also have fabulous erasers; no smudging!!! If you have not tried these pencils you should! they are a little more expensive then regular pencils but last a lot longer then regular pencils! so they are great for the price! All of my friends who tried the product actually used their coupon to purchase more for the kids to use at school and at home! everyone I know loves the products!

Does Not Stand up to yellow #2 pencils
These pencils are very nicely colored, they erase well but when holding the pencil it is very flimsy, wobbly, does not stand up in our homeschool. I was very disappointed in the quality of the product and would not purchase it on my own it just doesn't stand up to the old yellow #2 pencils which last us at least 1 week at a te we didn't even make it through 1 day with these pencils. I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on these pencils, glad I was able to try them for free rather than waste my money on them!

My 2 youngest boys (5 and 10) love these pencils. The two colored barrel was a big hit. They also liked how the were bendy. I was impressed by the quality of the pencils. They stayed sharp longer than ordinary yellow #2 pencils and were easier to sharpen. I also liked how smooth and dark they wrote. Definitely will buy more. I even stuck a few of them in my purse because I appreciated the ease of erasing mistakes. 5 stars all around.

BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils Are Practical and Fun
When we received the BIC XTRA-Fun $2 pencils, we thought the lead would come in various colors. While this was a surprise, we were not disappointed. The pencils have two-toned color barrels that make them easy to locate and fun to use. In fact, the regular lead makes these pencils both practical and fun. With school back in full swing, my children needed quality pencils. These pencils are sturdy, write well and erase easily. This is a perfect combination as usually my kids break pencils within the first week they use them. The pencils are still in good shape two weeks later and only needed to be sharpened once or twice. This means they will last longer, too. Overall, we highly recommend the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. They look great, work well and are made by Bic, a leader in the industry of creating innovative writing tools.

Bic has been a trusted name in our house so these pencils were something I looked forward to being able to test. Its been fantastic to not have the frequency of breaks we are used to which always seem to happen when the pencil sharpener has gone missing! They are fun colors which the kids love and easy to find in the bookbag from that reason so I love that! The kids prefer these over the other pencils we have and it's been great to be able to share them with friends who agree these are hands down an absolute must have. They do sharpen easily and no more endless sharpening either which not only saves time but money as well since we're all too familiar with sharpening, getting a bad point or break and having to do so again and possibly even again which feels like just throwing away money! I hated that in school myself and getting yelled at for taking too long so it's a nice thing to see improvements can be made so kids today don't have that issue!

My son fell in love with these at first sight. Normally we purchase plain old yellow pencils but couldn't wait to try these. He loves that he can choose whichever color he is in the mood for that particular day. I have purchased other pencils that were colored but for some reason they did not hold up. Either the paint would chip off, the lead was thin, or the eraser did not work but these BIC XTRA-Fun color combination pencils stayed true to the quality of an old fashion pencil. The lead is very strong which is a huge factor since my son is still learning to write and presses quite hard. The erasers work amazing and do not leave any traces of pencil lead on the paper. They are very comfortable to wrote with and my son just loves showing them off to his friends. Overall we love these pencils and they have made homework time much easier to handle.

For open house I gave each student/family a pencil with a coupon. The pencils are awesome. The students like the fun colors, and I like the quality of the pencils. They are a bit flexible for those students who tend to grip the pencils hard. For those that apply less pressure, you can still read the lead. I purchased some additional packs to put at my centers to make it fun and colorful. A couple of my parents contributed some packs to the classroom. For now on these will be the only pencils I buy.

My three kids totally love using these pencils in school and homework. These pencils write so nice and they erase with ease. They really make school work and homework a breeze. It doesn't hurt that they are really cool looking as well!!

The BIC XTRA FUN pencils are actually improving as time goes on. What I mean is that it takes time to see the quality and longevity of these number 2 pencils. I was a little underwhelmed at the beginning despite the enthusiasm of my kids for the cool colors, but I have become a believer. The pencils simply don't need sharpening as often or break as frequently as other pencils. I am suitably impressed.

I think these pencils are a great supply to have in your classroom!!! My students love to pick out of the fun colors for writing practice. As a teacher I love the fact that I do not need to sharpen them as often! I have recommended them to all the teachers at my school! My kids at home love them too!!

These pencils make anything FUN! They are comfortable to use, erase great, they are colorful, and stylish. I use them, my kids use them, and we also gave out some of the great coupons to friends and family so they could use them too.

Kid proof pencils...BIC XTRA-FUN #2 Pencils
After recieveing BIC XTRA-Fun pencils from Bzz agent for free, I gave my son a few of these pencils and he really liked them. He noted how the pencil bends slightly without breaking, something he found really cool. He also had a much easier time erasing marks, even dark ones, with out ripping the paper. As far as the lead strength, when he sharpens the Bic Xtra-Fun pencils, they do so evenly all around the lead. This is one reason why I believe the tips don't break compared to standard wooden pencils. The only thing I wish these pencils did is to write a little bit darker. I find that even with pressure, the lead is light. All in all these pencils have worked out great for my 3rd grader. For an 8 year old to remark he likes something as simple as a pencil over the others he has been using says a lot.

I wouldn't reccomened someone but these. The lead is really soft so you have to write harder than traditional pencils. I like the idea of the two toned pencils though it's very magical what colors do for kids and adults. I was actually excited myself. I did also notice if your child or who ever is using thses pencils they will bend from the heat of the hand. You can even bend them without heat. But on a plus side they don't break easily :) I wouldn't purchase them. Unless they change the lead in it from the original pencils.

Overall, my kids enjoyed the fun colors of the pencils but the only real difference is that the barrel is a bright color instead of wood colored. I will say it took awhile for my kids to realize these are not colored map pencils and can be used just like ordinary pencils. In my opinion, these pencils are fun but not worth paying a premium for. We did not notice any difference in lead strength. In fact, one of my students broke the tip off his pencil within seconds of beginning to write with it. I received a free sample of these pencils from BzzAgent but my opinion is my own.

BIC XTRA-Fun Pencils are lots of fun!
My daughter couldn't wait to take these pencils to school, and finally got the chance when school started up last week. She loved pulling them from her pencil pouch and seeing which color she was going to get that time. The kids in the class loved the bright colors and asked where she got such fun pencils - BzzAgent of course! She has thoroughly enjoyed these pencils. Her only complaint is that the erasers don't erase pencil markings as well as Ticonderogas.

These pencils are lots of fun for my 9 yr old and any friends that come do homework at our house after school. Their favorite feature is the cool pencil shavings they make when you sharpen the pencils! They all have a favorite color combo and the pack of pencils made it simple for each kid to have a pencil they love (they put their names on them even!) I honestly believe it's made homework time a little less hassle for me, and adds some fun for them! Although the kids absolutely love everything about the pencils, I don't particularly like them. They feel like plastic in my hand, and although advertised as having ultra-durable lead, I find it breaks often as they sharpen; though I do have a very cheap pencil sharpener that could be the cause. The pencils also write very light on paper, it's not a dark lead so it can be difficult to see what kids write if they don't naturally press a little harder on the pencils. They do have a nice eraser however, not as crumbly as some pencils I've used. Overall, kids enjoy them and I would most likely buy them again, but only for homework. For my own pencil needs I'll stick with a sturdier wood pencil with darker lead.

I think these pencils are amazing! My kids, 18, 16, 15, 13 and 12 all love these pencils. They had a great time picking out colors and playing with them. They are much more flexible than standard pencils which is great. I don't see them advertising this but the kids have also been able to take the eraser out and use it the other way too, just a fun bonus! I hope they keep making them with different colors and with the tested break-resistant lead. Thank you BIC!

My kids enjoyed writing with these BIC XTRA FUN #2 fun colored pencils! They all had their favorite color combinations and even shared some with their friends. Of course, I shared the extra pack with a friend who was buying school supplies too! The tips stayed sharp, which everybody loves when they are writing, which to me, means the quality is pretty darn good! They were excited to find out that the pencils were bendable too. That was fun! We will buy more when these are gone!

These pencils are the best. School has just started and we had already purchased the traditional namebrand yellow pencils, she has them sharpened to nubs because she said they are dull and lead breaks. I sent her with the new BIC XTRA FUN #2 pencils and she has said they write smooth and don't break. She now has them at school and on her homework desk at home. The colors are bright and fun too.

I think these pencils are fun looking, but they don't write dark enough for my taste nor when you push harder do they write darker. In addition when you push down to write the pencil bends making them seem flimsy. My kids love them and were excited to take them to school. I have stuck with my other pencil of choice.

A person would want to know if the pencil is durable and the lead point doesn't easily break. Well, with the BIC Xtra-Fun pencils you won't have that problem! My son is very heavy handed and typically uses about three pencils to complete his homework because the points ALWAYS break. Not with the BIC-XTRA! Although my son enjoys changing the color he's going to use daily, he actually doesn't need to because the points are durable. This is indeed a great product...especially for a heavy handed child.

I would definitely recommend the pencils to anyone. Good quality and the cool part is it that the pencils are pretty bendy.

Super Fun to Look at, Not to Write With
It's been hard to get these pencils to work just right. My kids love them! They're super cute and fun, but the led is not a good quality. It breaks off comepleatly and is hard to sharpen. My kids love looking at these and showing them off to friends, but the difficulty to write with them has turned into a homwork fiasco. I give it three stars due to the design keeping my kids excited about writing, but the poor led quality making it hard to do so.

Bic Xtra-Fun #2 pencil review
Received these to try and my kids think the different color combinations are great. So far the tips haven't broken as easily as other pencils have so that's a real plus. The only draw back so far is my daughter wanted to use them for art class and they don't work very well for shading. All in all - really good pencil!

These pencils were a nice change for the kids. They loved the fun colors and anytime they're having fun writing I'm a happy camper! The other thing I found was that these are a high quality #2 pencil with a good hard lead. Less breakage means pencils last longer and that means I'm saving money. Bic XTRA Fun pencils are the only #2 pencils in my kids' backpacks this year!

Kids LOVE the cool colors
My daughter absolutely LOVES using these Bic Xtra-Fun pencils at school. She loves that they are different colors but they erase well. Usually the odd colored pencils have bad erasers and leave marks. These do not! She changes colors each day! Also sent some to a fellow teammate of our sons who's battling leukemia in the hospital and they brightened his day!

I gave the Bic xtra fun pencils 4 stars because my kids love them. They love the fun colors and they said that they sharpen nicely. I was helping my 3rd grader with homework the other night and i picked up one of the pencils to work out a math problem with him. I was very surprised that the pencil bent as I wrote with it. My kids said they noticed that too and they thought it was kinda cool. I, however, did not like the way that felt. I don't want to feel like my pencil is going to break everytime i use it. It does erase their mistakes nicely but the eraser tends to pop out of the plastic band if you are erasing a lot.

Love the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils!
The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils were a big hit with my kids, and makes them excited to do their homework every day after school! My kids love the bright colors of these pencils, especially compared to the boring" yellow #2 pencils. The break-resistant lead is also a huge plus for us because we've found that pencil leads tend to break easily in the past

I received these free to review and I gave some to my daughter and her cousin to test for school. They love them and wanted more right away. As I read the package her cousin broke the pencil on purpose so I had to explain that the pencil can break but the lead should be harder to break than others. That part I do believe ,the lead seemed thicker that most and many have been in the bottom of my purse for weeks and still surviving unbroken. My daughter likes to use these to draw and as homework pencils. Her baby sister likes to steal them and pretend to write. I don't really like the eraser. It works well but I have found a few around the house with the entire eraser missing. They sharpen better than most and leave the cutest bloom shapes that don't crumble up so sharpening is less messy. I definitely recommend these for casual drawing and heavy writers.

Really fun and effective #2 quality pencil
These are excellent pencils and my kids love the colors. They can even bend the pencil a bit which makes it different" and fun to do. The lead writes very dark. My kids like them so we got 3 sets each. The eraser will be the only thing I will like to improve. you have to erase really hard for it to erase completely."

XTRA Long lasting pencils!
These are not just ordinary pencils. They are extraordinary! I think BIC XTRA-Fun pencils are wonderful!!! I work at an elementary school as an instructional assistant. I have 4 reading groups each day with a writing assignment at the end of each group. My students can't wait to look in their supply basket to see if they got their favorite color pencil. I would normally have to supply 2 or 3 pencils in each basket. I was spending 10min each day sharpening pencils. Not anymore! We've used these for 3 weeks, and I have not had to sharpen them even once! The lead is strong, never breaks or falls out like other #2 wooden pencils. They write smooth and mistakes are easily erased. I have gained almost an hour of extra time each week because of these XTRA FUN pencils!!! Student and teacher approved. Thanks BIC!

So Excited BIC xtra Fun #2 pencils
My kids and I thought these were so cool! We loved opening our BIC Xtra Fun #2 pencils but then the excitement of just putting them to use put a smile on my face. There was rarely a need to sharpen but when they did they didn't need my help. We're a house full of girls so everything needs to be color, which was right up our alley with BIC! The kids were excited to write and even got them excited to get their backpacks ready on their own for school because they couldn't wait to bring their BIC Xtra Fun #2 pencils. Thanks BIC and BzzAgent!!!

I am ecstatic with these pencils! My 2 year old had mommy buy her a special shark pencil pouch so she could take care of them so she would have them a long time. So what mommy couldn't be more proud that PENCILS have taught her some responsibility! My 13 year old prefers them because he says he usually sharpens his pencils NO MORE THAN every other day. He prefers them over the popular mechanical pencils? #PROUDMOMMY #HAPPYKIDS #HAPPYHOME

Still going strong week 2 of school
I asked my daughter to use a couple of the pencils everyday at school, in addtion to another #2 pencil. I wanted to know what she thought about how it wrote compared to the other pencil. She said the lead color was a little light on the paper, so she had to press a little harder, but over all liked writing with it, and even shared a couple pencils with classmates.

BIC XTRA Fun really is more fun!
I think the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are awesome! My 7-year old grandson spends two afternoons after school a week with me -- and he always needs pencils. He was so delighted when I gave him a package of the BIC XTRA-Fun pencils! His first question was, Can I take these to school with me?" He then chattered on and on about how Jessie and his other friends would want one of the pencils -- but he would have the most fun writing because he had the cool pencils first. He usually tries to put off his homework

Big Xtra-Fun Pencil vs. Kinder kids
I am a kindergarten teacher and I was able to try the Bic Xtra Fun #2 pencil for free thanks to Bzzz Agent. Overall, this is a great pencil that stood the test of 16 brutal kinder kids! The Pros: - Two-toned barrel made the kids love to use them! Made working on letters a bit more motivating! - Flexible barrel eased writer fatigue (I even noticed this when I used it) - Durable - Not a single broken lead! Neutral: - The pencil didn't seem to write very dark. The kids pushed down on the pencil to get it a bit darker, but it still did not break(Definitely a plus!). Great pencil and we will be using it for the year! #GotItFree

I sent these pencils to my 2 granddaughters, one is a freshman in highschool and the younger one is in 2nd grade. The younger of the 2 thought they were lead pencils just like her older sister uses so she was excited about them and loved writing with them. My older granddaughter also liked them she said because they write like mechanical pencils but the lead doesn't keep breaking, so overall they both loved them!!!

I think these pencils are worth the money! First of all they are a reasonable price. I love the fact I have yet to sharpen them and they still write very well. I love the vibrant colors that the pencils come in. I personally use them and my sons use them at school. They love them. They haven't had any problems with writing with them or breaking. We also have some at home so they can do their homework with them. Before I got this product I would want to know if they are able to last a long time with the use of my sons. They are pretty hard on things so we buy things that can last a long time. These pencils definitely do. They are still going strong! I will be buying these pencils in the future for sure!

I am a math teacher and gave these pencils for my students to use. First of all, the break-resistant lead was amazing. It was great to not have students constantly getting up to sharpen their pencils during class (this is also a plus if you are trying to get children to complete homework with a minimum amount of distractions). I love that they are #2, as that allows them to use it on tests. The two-toned colors made it more exciting for the students to use. I would let them use it if they completed their homework and they were much more engaged in the lesson when they were able to pick the color of the pencil. I have never seen two-toned color pencils, so this product is definitely unique. The only thing my students requested, was if I had pencils with different colored lead as well! Maybe BIC will come out with that next!

Great for elmentary to high school
I think these pencils are great! My kids loved them from ages 4-15! THe kids thought it was so cool to have colored pencils but could use them for all of their school work becuase they wrote like a normal pencil. The pencils also sharpen very well and the kids didnt have problems with the lead breaking easy either. I also noticed how well the erasers worked! They erased very well and didnt fall apart or break like some erasers do. I also am in college classes and was excited to try them and I loved them just as much as my kids did. It put a little spark back into being an older college student! I will defiently be buying these!

Bic #2 Xtra-Fun pencils are like having a color pencil with the two tone barrels, (which makes writing more fun) but you have the lead pencil and not the color lead. The solid break resistant leads make a nice dark color for writing and when the kids bear down on the lead it holds up and doesn't break. Also if they make a mistake there is a great eraser that is long lasting to erase those mistakes.

A pencil that can handle kids
There are two things that a typical pencil does that really peeve me: they break (right after being sharpened, naturally!), and the erasers pop out when you actually use them (and kids need to use them a lot). The BIC Xtra-fun pencils have a unique, sturdier eraser bracket that has stood up to my first grader, and, so far, the the barrel has held up to my preschooler's gentle" coloring style. I honestly didn't think a pencil could be very different from any other pencil

Now it's have been approx. two weeks of school and my little is enjoying writing, and the color of the pencil makes doing home work more fun because she can pick a different color every time base on how she feeling after a long day at school. During using the pencil we do not have to sharpen the pencil as often and the point is stronger.

I have to admit, I was more excited about these pencils than my 8 yr old son was. He really could care less about them which I think is strange because he usually loves things like this. He took a package to school and shared them with his classmates. He said the girls liked them more than the boys and he expected that. Hahaha! I think the colors are beautiful and having them be a #2 lead makes them even that much better!

Bix Xtra-Fun Pencils are a sharp addition to our pencil draw
The Bic Xtra-Fun Pencils are so much fun! The vivid colors, the bendable pencil, and the easy-to-use eraser make writing and drawing fun again. These are always the pencils my son reaches for when he has work to do, and I've found myself picking these over the ol' boring yellow ones too!

We had a ton of fun using BICs XTRA fun pencils. My boys absolutely loved the two toned colors, made writing/ drawing a lot of fun. They write incredibly well, they have been dropped so many times and the lead held up really well. Not o ly do the write well the erase well too. I loved that they have a plastic piece holding the erase on rather than the harsh metal we're used too. My boys write or draw every chance they get as long as they get to use BICs XTRA fun #2 pencils

These are great for everyone. They write smoothly and the eraser works well (which is always important). They sharpen easily and are NOT quick to break. I enjoy writing with them (I always pick the purple one!) and my kids love them too. They were a bit confused at first because they thought they would be like color pencils. But they really enjoy being able to pick out their favorite color when it's drawing or writing time. I received this product for free from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review! P.S. Where were these when I was in school???

My son is 5 and he has started school this year. Tonight when it was time to do his homework, he didn't want to do it. Practicing his letters is definitely his least favorite thing to do. I decided to try letting him use a different color BIC Xtra-fun pencils for each line. It was a hit! He actually enjoyed doing his homework tonight. The one thing I would change is that he has to press kind of hard to make the lines dark enough. Sometimes he hesitates because he's just learning to write.

Trusted brand, fun colors for kids
Bic is already a trusted brand for writing, so I was expecting nothing less from the BIC EXTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. I like that they are bright colors as it makes my kiddos even more excited to write. They are still quality products but add fun instead of the boring" yellow pencil color. For the most part

BIC XTRA-FUN #2 pencils!!!
I think BIC XTRA-FUN pencils are really great for my kids. They have told me multiple times how cool their colorful pencils are and I see them choosing these pencils first before all others! I love that something as simple as a colorful pencil can be so thrilling to my children! I would highly recommend you buying this product, especially if you have children who need the coolness to improve their attentiveness.

Keep your kids creative!!
I think #Bic products are amazing and that every child should own at least one good pencil if not a whole collection! BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are super GREAT for kids not just because of their fun two toned colored barrels but mostly because of the super strong lead!!! Perfect for ANY child!! Plus the eraser is amazing in itself!! It can erase the toughest of marks from any paper making kids feel like there's no such thing as mistakes! Keeping them creating for hours without any worries!! Thank you #bzzagent and #bic for my family's FREE sample and coupons!!! #gotitfree #fightforyourwrite #bicxtrafun

I do sudokus, word finds and cross word puzzles and love a good pencil. Not only are these pencils fun, but they sharpen easily to a long-lasting sharp point. The eraser erases cleanly without leaving any streaks. They do cost more than regular pencils, but my grandchildren love them. They are durable and I don't mind sharing with them.

I think BIC XTRA Fun pencils are the best I've used! They come in lots of eye catching colors kids love. The barrel is strong and stands up to lots of use. The lead is extremely strong, even stands up to first graders who tend to bare down hard when they are writing without breaking. Your student and teacher will spend less time at the pencil sharpener, which means more time for learning and writing. They write smooth and best of all no smudges or smears on assignments. BIC XTRA fun pencils erase easily and you can completely remove any trace of a writing mistake. I would recommend these to any student, young and old!

I have 5 children ranging from 1-11years and when it came time to reach for a pencil, they always chose the BIC XTRA-fun pencils. My 11 year old tested it to see how flexible it was and was amazed that it wasn't brittle like other pencils tend to be. My 1 year old was attracted to the colors so he would always choose it for homework" time. My kids bragged about these pencils to their kids and now they have to protect them at school so they don't get "misplaced" :)"

After buying extra sets for all the kids for school, I also bought a set at home for homework. The kids love the fun colors, but I love that when I sharpen them, the tip doesn't break off right away so I'm not constantly sharpening them and left with a nub of a pencil! A lot less frustration for sure!

I bought my daughters some of the BIC XTRA FUN #2 pencils for school upon request from them. They absolutely love them and think they are the coolest thing ever! They took them to school and all their classmates loved them too. Their teacher thought my one daughter was using a colored pencil because of the bright colors, until she showed her it was a pencil. My daughters love doing homework & writing with these pencils! Thanks for making such a great product that kids love!

Fun Pencils that are Functional Too
Now that my son is back doing homework, we've had a chance to test out BIC XTRA-Fun #2 pencils. I like that the lead doesn't break easily and that the erasers are very effective. No more ghosts of mistakes left on the page after my son corrects his homework. My kids (a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old) both like the way the pencils write and the bright colors. They also like getting the chance to choose which colored pencil they want.

I received free BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils from BzzAgent. These pencils are great! My kids love using them because of the bright colors. They really are writing more because they like these pencils so much! Today they used them when they were playing school and my 6 year old was trying to teach my 3 year old how to make an A. I love them because they come pre-sharpened,have break resistant lead(my kids haven't broken one yet!), and erase easily and cleanly. It is so nice having pencils that I don't need to constantly sharpen!

These pencils are very colorful, making it more fun for my children to want to write. The lead holds up well to pressure applied when writing, I know this because my child often goes through a lot of pencils, because she constantly breaks the lead while writing. They also sharpen well. The lead doesn't keep breaking off while sharpening like some pencils do. Overall, these are great pencils at a reasonable price and they make it fun for children when writing because they are so colorful!

The Bic XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are definitely fun. The kids were super excited. They were fun colors that allowed the kids to still show their attitude and sassiness while still following the rules of school and using a #2 pencil. However, the kids did complain a little bit about how the pencils wrote. They did not like that the pencils wrote lightly. For instance, if they were working in a workbook versus on white paper, it was a little difficult to see the pencil writings easily. If the lead would just be a little darker when they write then this would definitely have gotten 5 stars from us!

When I was offered this campaign my first thought was to pass it up. However my 5 year old daughter saw the picture on my screen and yelled I want those!" She's in kindergarden and learning to read and write so these pencils definately come in handy. She tested out each pencil on the first day. Her favorite is the blue and orange. I really like how interested she is in writing right now and the eraser works really well

I love the fact a strong pencil has finally been introduced to the world! At a young age I used pens and whiteout if I made a mistake because I could never find a #2 pencil that was able to keep up with my hard writing and need to erase. I love the fact my children prefer this pencil over the boring yellow #2 pencils. I will not buy any other type of pencil.

My son who is seven, has one big imagination and is loven these mulit color pencils. He loves the colors and it givens him bright ideas. For a seven year having a great imagination and have different colors for parts of the story or the excitement to choose a color for homework is great. The pencils are number 2 and they are great for school. I love to see him get excited to do something. He also says that he can drawl monsters and skylanders and they match the colors. I love the pencils and I think they are great, I shared a few with the neighbors who went on a search for them.

Not only for children! Teenagers and work force people too!
The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencil is just that ? FUN! The day I received the pencil packs my teenage son (17) ripped into the packs. He picked the colors he wanted and packed them up for school. The others were disbursed between his girlfriend, home and work. I brought some to work. Results: Two thumbs up. The pencils are in vibrant/cool colors and have a standard feel to them. The pencils write with a tinge darker lead look without the need to press hard. They sharpen with ease and the lead doesn?t appear to break like past standard #2 pencils. There was no need to keep sharpening the pencil unlike other versions where you whittle away half of it before you can use it again. I also didn?t notice smudging on the paper (or hand) when writing beneath an area already written on. The eraser is magic!! I used the pencil for work with scheduling which includes a lot of erasing and rewriting. Totally loved the way the eraser removed the pencil marks allowing for a clear area to rewrite over. Plus, you didn?t need to use a lot of the eraser to remove the markings. Also, the eraser didn?t break off at the metal crimp area like others. Teenage son says the pencil doesn?t break easy and it erases like a champ. He said there was no need to constantly sharpen the pencils which is a distraction and pain. He said he can tell who has his pencil as he hasn?t seen anyone else with the same type in his classes. He did indicate that he at first thought they were colored pencils. All in all the pencils were/are great. Easy to use, easy to sharpen, easy to write, perfect erasing and amazing colors. I would purchase these pencils for home/work/school use in the future. The only item of complaint (not really) would be for neon colors ? which would make them easier to find on a desk full of papers.

I like the idea of the colorful pencils that my kids could use everyday. My daughter especially liked the idea of the different color combinations. She wishes Bic had done this to the colored pencils also. The pencil lead looks just like a regular pencil and it writes just as well as them. My daughter used her both at school and to do her little drawings at home. She liked the blue and pink pencil. My kids did find out that the pencil is not as strong as the regular pencils. One of my son's friends happened to be playing with the pencil and they saw that it bends very easily. Even my daughter was able to bend the pencil. I had not seen this before. I am guessing that these pencils are not made of wood like the regular pencils. I would not use them around younger kids. I would tell older kids to be careful where they put these pencils since they can break if you put too much pressure on them.

Very unique, colorful pencils
These pencils are great because they are so colorful. They aren't just boring yellow like most other pencils. They are so much more fun for the kids to use. It's great that they already come sharpened, and that the lead doesn't break. The pencils themselves are kind of rubbery, and can be bent without breaking too easily. I know my kids especially love how colorful they are.

My kiddos did enjoy the pencils! They were fun colors and some of his classmates wanted some too! the teacher told me that it seems like they were not breaking as often as traditional yellow pencils, but also that sometimes they were difficult to sharpen both in electric and crank sharpeners. I also brought some to my pre-k classroom, but had to remove them!! My little ones wanted to play with the pencils, argue about who got the best colors instead of concentratingId on handwriting!

Well, I gave them to 6 of my SPED students to put them to the test. One student loved all the colors to choose from. Another liked that she could bend them, but ended up breaking it. Most of the students thought that the lead was to soft. They never broke the lead, but felt it was to soft compared to the other pencils that they use. What I would want to know first before buying them is that they are bendable so what but kids will see how far they can go before they bend them.

Bic Xtra Fun #2 Pencils are pretty cool. They look like colored pencils with erasers. They work great. They kids like way they look. MY 7 year old in the 2nd grade gave all his pencils away at school because his friends kept asking for them. Good thing we bought several packages. I would highly reccomend them to everyone.

These pencils are designed perfect for my young daughter who loves everything to be colorful like a rainbow. She was very excited to see that every pencil had not one but two colors. So far they have worked great for us. The lead has not broken at all on us. I have not had to sharpen any yet because she keeps switching which pencil she is using. I love the excitement they add to whatever she is working on, even if it is only homework. The eraser is also of a high quality. It cleanly removes any mistakes that are made. The star I withheld from the ratingId had nothing to do with the quality of the pencils. I was disappointed in the price of these pencils when I went to buy them in the store. Unfortunately with the quantity of pencils requested for school it does not seem worth the money. They will be great for home though :)

We love the BIC XtraFun pencils. They are #2 school approved, write as well as any pencil, erase easily and come in fun colors! Kindergarten is when most kids really learn to write. Having a pencil with different colored barrels is a little way to add some fun. I love a product that gets my son excited about practicing his writing!

My six year old loves to try to bend them in two : / We loved them so much I used the coupons I was provided to by several packs for my children's teachers. The feedback was awesome! All the kids love having their own special colored pencils.

I gave these Bic XTra Fun pencils to my 4 year old son. He is just learning to write, and has been known to put so much pressure on his pencils that they break. I was so happy to see that these BIC pencils don't require a lot of pressure to make a dark line, and when he does press too hard they don't break! He loves the fact that they are all different colors, so each day when we do his homework

These are really great pencils! I love the colors (so much so, I have permanently borrowed" a couple from my son's pack) & they erase really easily. They do say they are unbreakable - and I do agree for the most part. My son presses really hard when he writes (still learning how) & he has not managed to break one yet. I've used a few

These pencils make work fun
I think that these pencils are a great addition to the BIC family. First off, they definitely grab your attention with their vibrant colors. The two toned color barrels remind me of when I was a kid and I would color the pencil that was surrounding the lead with a marker, but the color disappeared after I sharpened my pencil. However, this doesn't happened with these pencils, which is something that sets them apart from other pencils on the market. The pencils write smoothly, and the lead doesn't break easily. My pet peeve is when you keep sharpening a pencil because the lead keeps breaking. I've had a recent bad experience with Dixon pencils. Perhaps the package was dropped in the store, but every single pencil that I tried to sharpen kept breaking. I also like that these pencils come presharpened. This is perfect for kids that are going back to school because they don't have to sharpen a whole package of pencils at once leading to overheated electric pencil sharpeners or blisters from using a manual pencil sharpener. I think the MSRP is a little bit high ($2.99 for 8 pencils). The quality of the pencils is great, but I don't see many parents spending that much on a package of pencils when they can get some for a lot less, especially during back to school sales. Therefore, I can't imagine this product is a longterm product. I see it lasting on the shelves for maybe about a year, which is disappointing if you love the product. In this case, I would recommend stocking up while they're still around. Overall, I recommend these pencils because they're great quality. Their appearance grabs the attention of those around the user, no matter what age. It's a fun pencil for everyone.

We use the BIC brand in our house a lot, so we were excited to try the BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils. They are fun to look at, that is for sure. We also liked how they wrote & they erased nicely. The downfall, of the pencils, is they are way to flimsy, so both the pencil & the lead break easy. We were excited to get the pencils, in time for school, & my daughter has had, about a month to use them Monday through Friday, in school. After two of them breaking, she gave up & is now using the other fun pencils I sent with her to school. She said that the lead breaks more with the BIC XTRA-Fun pencils more then the regular #2 pencils. She really doesn't want to keep using these pencils. We shared the pencils with our friends & got the same feed back from them, that they weren't impressed with the pencils. I would not recommend these nor will I buy them. We will stick with our regular fun pencils.

My son is 8 and in the 3rd grade this year and is loving these for his homework. The colors make homework more fun he said just last week. I like that he has been using these daily for 2 weeks now and has yet to have the lead break on him like most other pencils do.

I was so excited when I received the BIC Extra #2 pencils!!!! If I felt excited now let me tell you how my daughters felt. They could not believe they could use these pencils for school. They were so excited to use them. They use them all the time for school and to do homework. So colorful and the best part of all is that they are #2 and able to use for school test. The pencils write so smooth and very easy to sharpen. They don't brake easily like other brands do. They last super long. My oldest daughter took her pack and shared with her friends at school. Later moms asked me about the pencils because they had never seen them before. I shared my coupons and spread the word of BzzAgent and how exciting it is to try and review things! We really loved these BIC Extra Fun #2 pencils and yes they are FUN to use.

These BIC - XTRA fun pencils not only look cool they are much more durable than regular #2 pencils. The kids really put them to the test drawing lots of sharks and scary fish . The points last longer and did not break when they bare down hard when writing and doodling. They had a great time using them and we did not have to stop every few minutes to sharpen them.

I was so excited to try these new pencils. I opened them up right away and started using them. I was so disappointed. As I started to write I instantly new I wouldn't like them. They dont write smooth and it takes a lot of work to use them. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Add a little color to the school day
My daughter just loved her BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils! The best part, for her, is being able to match her pencils to her notebooks and binder. The best part, for me, was knowing that she was using a high quality product that I was able to feel confident about. She even passed out a few pencils to her best friends as school!!

Bix XTRA-Fun #2 pencils are just that....they are extra fun. The colors are bright and vibrant and makes using them a blast. I love how excited my son was to use these and I noticed he has written more now that he has these.

Great for little hands too
My boys loved the 2 tone colors and they are easy to sharpen, dont have to lose half the pencil. They also erase great and are super durable for a 2 yr old as well, the lead is hard to break. Will definitely be buying more.

A strong and powerful pencil and statement
BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils are fun and write great. They keep the point nicely and do not break easily when you put pressure on the point. Great statement piece to match your school outfits too! The BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils give you a smile each time you use them. Great gift to see your child smile and laugh with.

I found these pencils to be like most other pencils. The different colors are fun and I know my kids liked to use them because of the colors. I didn't find that the lead was any harder or better wearing but I also haven't had to sharpen them as much either. They do erase easily, which is a plus. Sometimes you get pencils that have a really bad eraser but these were nice.

I think that these pencils give children a great boost when it comes to writing. Both of my children think that the colors are nice and they have picked out which ones they like better when it comes to home work time. So far the lead seems to be sturdy and we haven't broken any yet. My daughter does like to have a sharp point so they seem to sharpen well and not have any issues breaking off in the pencil sharpener.

best wood barreled #2 pencils
My daughters usually prefer mechanical pencils, but are willing to use these wood barreled ones as well because These new BIC #2 pencils works so well! Their bright colors make them stand out from all other pens and pencils, and the smooth writing makes them popular. The lead stays strong when sharpened and does not easily break like so many others.
