Since you were old enough to write, you've probably stuck to the same style of pencil. Painted yellow and topped with a tiny pink eraser, this distinctive pencil has been a stationery staple for centuries. While there's nothing wrong with this tried-and-true instrument, why not make your mark with a newer model?

In this collection of quirky pencils, you'll find a range of fun and fashionable tools for every taste. From implements that shed rainbows, cherry blossoms, and other nature-inspired ephemera to plantable pencils that “make the world sprout,” these products add a bit of flair to the humble utensil.

Finding the best pencil for kids or for teacher supplies doesn't mean that you need to sacrifice aesthetic appeal either. You can boast unique design (opposed to the typical hexagon pencils) with some new products that feature anything from simple colors and subtle patterns to eccentric add-ons and rustic textures. A new pack of these rudimentary instruments—whether they be visually appealing accessories in different colors, multifunctional tools, mechanical pencils, or even novelty pencils—could make all the difference in student work, doodle and sketch designs, everyday use, or simply your décor collection and mood.

And whether you want to keep these for yourself or save them in bulk as your own personal pencil shop for giveaways is totally up to you. No matter how many or which cute pencils you pick, one thing is clear: you'll never have a dull moment!

Make your mark with this collection of quirky and cool pencils.
