[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils come in a great selection of beautiful colors pink, yellow, orange, blue and purple. It also includes extra erasers & lead for each pencil which makes this pack a little different from other mechanical pencils! The pencil itself has a little thicker barrel which makes it very comfortable to hold, writes smoothly, effortlessly & is easy to write with. My 2 daughters ages 3 and 10 were excited to pick their favorite colors (pink & purple). I was able to watch them each use their pencil and this is what I was able to observe with them.... Both were able to hold the pencils comfortably in their hands, both were able to write, trace and draw lightly and boldly to their desires. My 3 year old was tracing #'s and letters with her pencil and noticed that the lead was bold enough to be seen over the dark tracing prints. My oldest was drawing pictures and was able to make some beautiful shading with the pencils, and was also able to press down hard enough to make dark lines and was able to write beautifully. The pencils themselves are very comfortable to hold, and left no obvious marks or bumps on their hands/fingers.The only issue I noticed was my youngest seemed to push out more lead every time she was trying to erase, whereas this only happened a couple of times when my oldest was erasing. Overall the erasers erased pretty nicely and left very minimal marks. The quality of these mechanical pencils are outstanding versus a lot of the others offered in the stores. I will continue to buy these for my kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic Velocity mechanical pencils are a must have for back to school this year. They fit comftorbly in your hand and wrote well against the paper. The leas does not run or break as fast as other brands.

My son and I both love these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great pencils! They have a much nicer grip than other mechanical pencils we have used. I love that the eraser also has a cap on it since I tend to bite down on pens and pencils while I am doing things on the computer. The tip of the pencil retracts when you try to put it away and is less likely to get stuff stuck in it. The lead writes very smoothly and is really nice when it comes to bubbling in things. The lead even though is darker than others, it still cleanly erases easily. My son was really excited about taking these to school to use rather than his old" pencils from last year. The colors are bright which makes them even more attractive. We were able to write his name on them as well using a sharpie so hopefully they won't disappear so fast!"

Comfortable pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love school supplies and testing out new pens and pencils. I tend to write only with pencil for a lot of things because then you can erase. A good eraser is important too, and these seem to take care of the job. I also like a pencil with big thick led. These have a great led that doesn't seem to snap each time you start writing like some mechanical pencils do. I like that these have a comfortable grip too.

No more broken lead!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 11-year-old son uses these pencils everyday in school, and he says that they're the best he's used so far. He will only use mechanical pencils, and the thing that annoys him is that a lot of times the lead breaks while he is writing. He said that the lead in the Bic Velocity pencils never breaks. I don't know if it's stronger than average or what, but this fact alone will keep me buying these pencils from now on!! He also says that the writing is way darker" than the other pencils he used to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that my daughter is scared as she is starting high school in less than two weeks. Well, when the BIC pencils came in the mail last week she definitely perked up. They honestly put a smile on her face when I gave them to her. I cant wait for her to take them to school to do their magic on paper. More to come as school starts on August 8th! I dont recall her being this happy about previous pencils.
