Pros: A variety of colors.
Economical.
Easy to handle.
Smooth color.
Cons: Snap easily.
Paper wrappers are annoying.
Thin, breaks easily.

"Crayola - Preferred by Teachers," it reads on the bright yellow box. Really? Preferred by teachers? This reader wants to know why.They aren't bad, as far as crayons go. They color smoothly. More generic, cheaper brands sometimes are too waxy. ...

Xstamper Return Address Stamp
X Marks the Spot with X Stamper Return Address Stamp
by bradshawcl
Pros: Lasts a good while, not messy
Cons: Ink pad is a booger to re-insert in the stamper.
Several years ago, it felt like I was buying address labels like every time I turned around. So, when shopping in the Current Catalog, I decided to buy the X Stamper Return Address Stamp. I believe I paid around $15 for it, but it has been worth every ...

Internet Password Organizer
You will never click “Forget your Password?” again
by ldon526
Pros: keeps all your internet passwords together and organized
Cons: pricey, not something you want to carry around with you
So you try to log onto a website only to have “Invalid User ID/password” flash at you. You try that other user ID that you sometimes use, but that doesn’t work either. So you go back to the first one and try a different password. ...

Dixon Ticonderoga Laddie Pencil No. 2 without Eraser 12 Box Yellow
Old school lead ink stains to the max. Excellent.
by leftrevolution
Pros: Easily sharpened and universally accepted.
Cons: Lack of adequate sharpners is most modern offices and school rooms.
It all starts with a set of lines - three lines usually, a thick black top and bottom line with a dashed lined in between. Everyone starts with their timid scrawls, of redunantly and awkwardly written A, a, B, b, C, c.It was sort of joke that I ...

by pablothegreat
Pros: 3-D affect, glitter, sparkly
Cons: Longer pens would be nice, quicker drying, easier to squeeze out and control
Since my daughter's fine motor skills are delayed, working with glitter and glue tends to be a lesson in frustration. So when I heard about glitter glue pens, I just knew this would solve our problem while allowing her to still make glitter pictures. ...

RoseArt Curves: Great Grips, Not So Great Writing
by Freak369
Pros: Three per package, inexpensive, black ink, comfort grip.
Cons: Ink skips on anything but the smoothest of paper.
The back to school sales saw us hitting a lot of different stores with coupons and several homeschooling events for free backpacks and supplies. When the co-op that Annabelle attends a few days a week had packages made up for all the registered ...

Fiskars Brands Children's Safety Scissors Classroom Pack, 5" Pointed Tip, 12/Pack
Ambidextrous Fiskars Children's Safety Scissors Perform Wonderfully
by pablothegreat
Pros: Safety scissors for child, bright colors, comfortable, sturdy, easy to use
Cons: Tip isn't as blunt as other safety scissors so could hurt if child pokes someone
Child's scissors are another item we tend to misplace. The reason being because I put them up so my child isn't cutting what she shouldn't be cutting and then I can't find my hiding places. Her fine motor skills are delayed so learning to cut with ...

Sanford Liquid Accent Tank Style Highlighter Fluorescent Yellow
Gretest Highliter EVER!
by highliterhappyNew Member
Pros: Ergonomic shape, bright colors, wide tip that hugs the page, visible ink tank

Cons: The angled cap on the later generation did not fit on the back end.

Quite frankly, this the is the greatest highliter ever. It's really a tragedy that Sanford stopped making it. I intend on writing them to beg for them to start making it again. This product got me through four years of Carnegie Mellon with a 4.0! I ...

Pros: punches 3 holes into multiple sheets without a mess
Cons: more expensive units have better features.
Late last week, while getting ready for a gig, I noticed my current 3 hole punch wasn’t punching. One of the punches would not go up and so I couldn’t punch the music to put in my notebook for the gig. Like always, when I prepare for my gigs so that ...
