BIC® Velocity® Original Mechanical Pencils! :D

Recently I received some free samples of the BIC® Velocity® mechanical pencils to try out from Smiley360. The package came with a 2-pack of the pencils, a fun crossword puzzle, and some coupons to share. 

My daughter insisted on trying it first for drawing, and then with homework, and she grabbed the green one. She loved the big eraser, and said it made it a lot easier to clean up her mistakes. 

My son tried that one soon after her, and now insists on doing his homework with it, too. We've used mechanical pencils before, but they've often been kind of light and the leads break too easily. My son always presses hard when he writes, and he's not broken a single lead on the Velocity yet, in several uses. They both also find the thicker pencil a lot easier to grip in their hands, too.

I've been using the purple one for my crosswords, to-do lists, notes to teachers, and everything else, and I also love it. It's very comfortable to hold, the lead is sturdy, and the bigger eraser works so well. Will definitely be buying more whenever these run out (which will be awhile because it also came with replacement erasers and ink). Way to go, BIC!
