We are yet to use this with our new Lyra pencils but the quality seems good
Brilliant sharpener! Adults and children can both use easily. I contacted the store due to ongoing issues sharpening our beautiful Lyra Furby and Giant pencils and this was recommended. Easy to order, staff are always an absolute pleasure to speak with, fast shipping. I know it's just a pencil sharpener(!) but it's made the world of difference to our pencils and drawings.
I actually really like the sharpener because it works. I've been buying so many sharpeners (even other supposedly good brands) and I kept having issues (eg. Breaking during the sharpening or uneven sharpening). This sharpener actually sharpens easily, and no breakage! And the pencils actually looked nice and even after. Just happy to finally find something that works. Best of all 2 sizes in 1 so I can sharpen normal pencils etc. Highly recommend.
We love our Lyra giants, great range of colours, nice and smooth and don't break easily. This sharpener works perfect for the thicker pencils and is easy to use and mess free! Win win win 🥳
My 2 year old loves the colours! Her dad was instantly attracted to playing with these! So together they had a ball building colourful houses on the sunny window ledge! I have seen variations of these magnetic tiles around at play groups, but these magnetic tiles are slightly heavier and extremely better well made than all the others! They seem too beautiful and advanced for a 2 year old which means she will love playing with these for many many years and not just now. These are excellent quality and versatile to make anything with, perfect for an adult and yet so playful and interactive for a young toddler!
