LYRA Groove pencils (6) Used by a child during their early childhood. 4 are new, 2 are used. Two of the new pencils were stored with an eraser and became sticky, and when I wiped them, the paint came off. I don't think it will be a problem when using them, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Ergonomically designed pencils from LYRA (Germany). The cute polka dots support the correct grip, the Groove series. The "grooves" arranged based on human ergonomics in the Groove series naturally fit the fingers, guiding the thumb, index finger, and middle finger to the correct position. Through the fusion of design and functionality, it stabilizes the fingers in the correct position, allowing you to learn the correct way to hold a pencil. The triangular grip has a wide contact area with the hand, allowing for a firm grip and efficient drawing with less force. Groove, which supports the correct grip, won the "19th Japan Stationery Award 2010 Design Division Excellence Award". Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, are concerned, or are nervous, as these have been stored at home for a long time and have been used by a child. Thank you for looking.
