Win the Best Little Sharpener Ever!

I can not even begin to tell you the number of electric pencil sharpeners I've burned through. For years, I swore by a particular brand of industrial sharpener because it outlasted the rest, but even that one eventually burned out. I just accepted it as a way of life until I started reading about this miraculous pencil sharpener all over blogland from Classroom Friendly Supplies.

With its glowing reviews from people I really trusted and a price tag of about half of what I was used to paying for my usual electric sharpener, I didn't hesitate to order one. {If you're a blogger, check their site for a great blogger review program.} I will admit, I had to watch the video on the website more than once to get the gist of how to use it, but the kids definitely caught on faster than me! Just as the website promises, the sharpener is quieter than any other I've ever used, either electric or manual, but what I was not expecting was the amazingly long and sharp point!

You can see that I wrote "front" on mine (which is a little worn off from use). This was before I found a good place to secure it down using the enclosed clamp. A little tip - I added a strip of heavy duty velcro under between the pencil sharpener and the table before securing the clamp which has really improved the grip.

I fell so in love with the sharpener, that I've ordered 4 more to give as gifts and have at home. I was hesitant to turn this sharpener over to the kids because, well...I love it! And we know what happens to pencil sharpeners in the grasp of curious 7 year olds. But I have to say, I taught two kids how to use it and they were in charge of teaching the others how to use it. They were super protective of it. I should have taped them giving their little how-to-sharpen workshops because they were adorable!

I have two in my room. One for the kids and one for me. I have one at home and sent one to my husbands school which as resulted in the same kind  of sharpener envy that people didn't even know was possible!
