Highly rated sharpener designed for thick crayons and chunky pencils. Customers said it "works beautifully" and is "essential" for oversized items where standard sharpeners fail. Easy to use, sturdy, and fits little hands well. One customer noted the opening mechanism took time to understand, resulting in spills. Overall praised for effectiveness with larger art supplies.

I have the Honeysticks crayons. They are chubby and could not find any sharpener that was big enough. I bought this one and it has not disappointed! It works beautifully. I now want to get more LYRA pencils to use with it...as the crayons are on their final leg with my colourful toddler! The only downside to this sharpener is that it took me a little bit to understand how to open it...and when I did: all the content came out and went all over me and the floor :) Well, I laughed!!!
Easy to use, great addition to the chunky lyra pencils
pencil sharpener works for larger pencils and stick crayons used by small children. Children can then happily use crayon or pencil
Awesome product, sharpens nicely and fits little hands
The bottom part is quite sturdy but comes apart easily while being stuck on firmly enough that it doesn’t fling stuff everywhere when she gets excited
Really happy with the great service and the sharpener :)
This is an essential item if you are purchasing the triple groove lyra pencils. I tried many others without success as the holes are too small (even with the double barrelled ones).
