[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are definitely my kids' favorites! They loved the colors, the caps on the erasers, they erased really well and the lead did not break easily. These are now their go to" pencils. If they need to write anything they grab these first and on one occasion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to try these @bic velocity mechanical pencils just in time for school. This is my #1 most trusted brand. I love everything bic and these are no exception. My niece loves led pencils and she likes these because they are so brightly colored and fun looking. You can easily find these almost everywhere and affordable.

Nice Upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new BIC Velocity mechanical pencils seem to be a hit with my highschool age son. He said that the rubber grip on the pencil is MUCH more comfortable to write with compared to the regular BIC mechanical pencils. He also said that it seems so write darker and smoother. Another pro was that it looks more like a pen. The only con he had was that the erasers are not too great and that they leave gray smudges on his worksheets (especially algebra). We would highly recommend these pencils. We received them free from BIC for our honest review.

BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils have vibrant colors to make

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids really enjoy writing with the BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils! Doing homework, taking notes in class, sketching, drawing - everything becomes more fun with these pencils. My kids love how well they write, the lead writes dark and smooth, and to me it feels almost like writing in pen. The erasers work very well and erase big or small mistakes with ease, without being too harsh on the paper, or leaving too much little eraser crumbs behind on the paper. I like that the lead of the pencils is much stronger than other mechanical pencils, so it won't break easily. I tested this with my young 2nd grade son who was able to do his homework with this pencil without the lead breaking off! Success! I usually let only my two older daughters use mechanical pencils, but these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils are made so well that they will last a long time, because they are sturdy, plus they have strong lead that doesn't break easily. The package also comes with 5 replacement erasers and 12 leads! A very valuable set to buy, in my opinion! We also love that the erasers of each pencil have a small, clear cap on them to protect the erasers, and to actually protect from clicking the pencil accidentally while it's in the pencil case or backpack. Great idea from BIC! No other brand thought about this. Last but not least, the color selection in the package is awesome! The 5-pack of pencils comes with one of each color: blue, yellow, orange, pink, and purple. Each child is sure to find a color they'll love. The colors are bright and vibrant. I love the bright yellow and pink, they make my day a little brighter when I have to write my grocery shopping lists or take other notes. My kids love the blue, pink, and purple the most. Each pencil has a soft, rubbery grip, which makes writing comfortable, even for longer essays. My oldest daughter was especially impressed by how comfortable this pencil feels to write with, because she usually developed blisters and calluses on her finger from other mechanical pencil brands. What is another great feature is that the lead is actually retractable, so you're not forced to break off excess lead if you accidentally clicked it to come out too much. These mechanical pencils are #2 HB, 0.7 mm, and are perfect for standardized tests! I highly recommend these to everyone, and will be getting more!

Bic Velocity Pencils are a homerun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's back to school time and that means shopping for school supplies including pencils. One of the items we absolutely have to shop for is mechanical pencils. It is the only type of pencil my kids will use. The BIC Velocity mechanical pencils are a fantastic writing utensil that will be purchased over and over again. The pencils are very comfortable in your hand which is a very important factor in pencils especially since they write all day. On top of how comfortable it is, the eraser is much better then other mechanical pencils we have used and purchased. A bonus is the bright colors that they come in. My daughter color codes her stuff with classes so this makes keeping the colored pencil that matches her binder together and always has it ready. They fit nicely in a pencil case and they write with ease. BIC Velosity pencils are a definitely must have for back to school and throughout the year.

Long lasting! Clean Erase! Super Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These colorful pencils really motivated all of us to write and draw! My kids thought they were pens because of their colors and size. While the colors make it fun to use them, these pencils are a bit thicker in roundness which makes it easier for little fingers to grip. I found that the older kids were able to write and draw for longer periods of time because their fingers are not hurting. My kids love these pencils because they respond really well to pressure without breaking. They were especially wowed by how well the lead erased. They didnt have to press hard and use alot of eraser to get things gone and they noticed! The last thing that made my kids and i happy was the fact that this pack of Bic mechanical pencils comes with additional lead and erasers, not that you will need them often. The lease didn't break or go back inside everytime pressure was applied. We will be getting more of these for back to school supplies!
