I bought a pack on pencils this morning on impulse. So I thought I'd think of 10 reasons to use them instead of pens.
1. They're better for the environment
I could be wrong. But the box says sustainably sourced wood. Plastic pens probably have a huge carbon footprint and just go to the landfill forever.2. Pencils don’t smudge
Ever get a smudgy pen that makes your paper and the side of your hand look gross?3. You can help your kids with homework then erase the evidence
I always appreciated help :)4. Sketching is more fun with a pencil
Looks better too.5. You may be more inclined to practice a new skill like sketching or practicing math since you can erase
times tables anyone?6. You always know exactly how much pencil you have left, where a pen can run out of ink at any time
Better have a sharpener though7. Less likely to ruin a page, spot in a planner, address book, birthday card, hand written note
Ever had to buy a new card because you ruined the one you started writing on?8. Nobody will know if your bad at spelling. You can fix words instead of scribble them out :)
That good 'ol eraser9. They make you look smart
You know it's true10. They’re incredibly cheap
Got 20 for a dollar!
