Faber-Castell Pencil Sharpener
A good pencil sharpener isn't exactly the star of the schoolroom—until you need one that actually works. The Faber-Castell Pencil Sharpener keeps pencils sharp, shavings contained, and frustration to a minimum, making it a surprisingly valuable addition to your child's school supplies.
Designed with little hands in mind, this compact sharpener works with both standard and jumbo pencils, making it especially handy for young learners who are still developing pencil control. The ergonomic shape is easy to grip, while the quality blade creates a clean point without chewing up pencils.
The built-in flip-top container catches shavings before they scatter across the table, helping keep desks, backpacks, and workspaces a little tidier. Fewer interruptions for cleanup means more time spent drawing, writing, coloring, and creating.
Its cheerful design adds a bit of fun to an otherwise practical tool, and the compact size makes it easy to tuck into a pencil case, desk organizer, or backpack.
Simple, durable, and designed for everyday use, the Faber-Castell Pencil Sharpener is one of those small homeschool essentials that earns its keep year after year. Available in 3 cheerful designs—we’ll choose one for you!

The Best Manual Pencil Sharpener Ever!
Dorothy W.
I have used lots of pencil sharpeners through the years. This one is, bar none, the best (manually anyways). There are two different sized holes under the "nose" of the fish for the big chunky pencils that come in the kit and also your standard No. 2 pencil. Shavings are easily collected and disposed of but clicked nicely back into place so there is no accidental spillage and mess. The "nose" doubles as an eraser (not a very good one mind you but something is better than nothing in a pinch) AND it's absolutely adorable. Oh and it's cheap. What's not to love? Seriously, get this sharpener, heck get two. Thanks Timberdoodle, I don't think we will ever go with another brand of manual sharpeners after this one!

Have 2 or 3 floating around. Sometimes you need an eraser and that comes in handy as well! It’s cute and has 2 size sharpening options.

Get THIS one

Pencil sharpeners always eat pencils. This one does not. I no longer buy anything but the Faber Castell pencil sharpeners because our pencils (especially high quality colored pencils which are $$) last so much longer. Definitely worth their price.

Kept it for myself!
Sarah C.
This is great! It’s so cute and works so well I kept it for my watercolor pencils instead of letting the kids use it. They are triangle shaped and have grippy bumps that give most pencil sharpeners issues. Not this one! And I didn’t realize until a couple of weeks of use- the nose is an Eraser!!

My daughter loves this cute sharpener. It’s easy for her to use and has a safety cap which doubles as the birds beak.
