Dixon My First Short Pencils: Shorter length for maximum control

Thick triangular barrel reduces fatigue and teaches a proper three-finger grip.

Product Overview:

You want a pencil that fits a small hand and makes practice less tiring. These Dixon My First Short Pencils shorten the reach and encourage a correct three-finger hold, so early letter formation happens with less fuss. The thick, triangular barrel gives tactile feedback and stops slipping during quick strokes. At four-and-a-half inches long with a three point six millimeter core, they stand up to pressure and resist breakage. Twelve assorted barrels come in each box, so spares stay near the desk. Picture calmer lessons, steadier letters, and the little nod of pride when a child finally gets it.

Key Features:

• Triangular Shape: Thick triangular barrel encourages a three-finger grip, so small hands find stability and write with less wrist strain.
• Anti-fatigue: Short overall length keeps reach close and reduces hand fatigue during early lessons, which helps longer, calmer practice.
• Break Resistant: Robust core and thicker grip mean fewer snapped leads, so sessions stay productive and frustration fades fast.
• Short Length: At four-and-a-half inches long, the size feels natural in small hands and makes control immediate.
• Thick Lead: A three point six millimeter core resists breakage and keeps marks bold, which kids and teachers appreciate.
