Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener Give Away!–Closed!!!

Posted by Deb | Comments Off

My kids use wooden pencils for school. The most vexing part of using wooden pencils is the sharpening. I have an electric pencil sharpener that I got at that Giant Cheap Place, but it does not do a very good job. The pencils don’t get sharp and it vibrates funny or does something that causes great hunks of lead to fall out when we are writing.

So. Irritating.

It was surprisingly hard to find an electric pencil sharpener that got good reviews. I did find one that people seemed to love, but it was A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS and…

…well there’s really no and, unless it’s and I refuse to spend nearly two hundred dollars on a stupid pencil sharpener.

I mean, come on.

In the course of searching, I accidentally forgot to add the word “electric” once when I googled “best pencil sharpener” and I stumbled upon this:

The Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener.

I love it! Isn’t it cute? It’s so retro looking. It was way cheaper than the electric one (like a hundred and sixty dollars cheaper), and it works great. What more can you ask for?

I contacted the maker to let him know how perfect this product is for the home school market, and he sent me not ONE, but TWO of these terrific little sharpeners to give away at Heart of the Matter!

Congrats to Jes who said, “That is so beautiful! oh. what practical too?”

Congrats to darthchrista who said, “OH, yes, I we are in desperate need of a pencil sharpener. I’m tired of prying broken off bits of pencil out of our sharpener only to have it break of again, and then resorting to a hand held sharpener. I would not have thought of a pencil sharpener as a blessing, but boy it would be.

For those who don’t win, but would like to purchase, it also comes in the most adorable car shape, which was a big hit with my kids.
