Drawing as a hobby led me to try spiral pencils and I am glad I did. The pencil holds easily in the hand as well as sharpening so well with the wood sharpener. Thank you so much for a quality product as well as the fun in using it!
These pencils are so much fun! I can’t wait to gift/use them!
Kids loved the selection so I probably should order more. Seller also sent a special surprise with order
Gorgeous pencils. Exactly as described. The included stickers are sooo cute!
This was my first Etsy purchase, and I was so pleased by the quality and turnaround time. Not to mention the kind handwritten message included in my order. Very satisfied.
As a parent who’s mindful of what goes on and near my baby’s skin, I’m so grateful to have found Stubby! These crayons are everything I was looking for — non-toxic and safe if mouthed. I love knowing I don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals or hidden toxins. They also came in an easy to store container which is another win for me.
I LOVE THE STUBBY PENCIL SHOP!!
Not only is the owner Kate a doll, but has the coolest pencils around!! These are beautiful, fun pencils that write so nice!! I won’t even use another lead pencil unless it comes from Kate!!
I also have to say she has very fun little cards that you color. I colored my granddaughter a Birthday card and she loved it!!
Thanks Kate for always having our families back for pencils, colored pencils and color cards!! You’re the best!!
