Fun for middle elementary
Bought these for my third grader to give out to his peers in recognition of the 100th day of school and they were a huge hit. Going to buy them for 4th grade too.

Be Aware
The "colorful wrapped design" on the pencils is a plastic sleeve that gums up and overheats an electric pencil sharpener fairly quickly and if you're using more than a few, a manual sharpener is a lot of work.
That said - the pencils were a cute addition to our party theme - a robbery mystery - and something that our guests took home, along with their notepads.

poor quality pencils
bought these for a kids bunco party- only maybe 18 of them sharpened properly (using an industrial electric sharpener) - the rest we weren't able to get evenly sharpened, even when we resorted to a manual sharpener. Chewed the pencils down to almost nothing trying.
Outer design on most of the pencils wasn't smooth - Erasers were old or poor quality, smeared when erasing....
Not recommended.

Too Hard and Too Bulky
I'm a reading specialist and planned to give these as a reading-related holiday-vacation project, since they were advertised as bookmarks. By the time I finished making a sample with Elmer's Glue--very difficult and not much fun--I realized the object was much too fat to be useful as a bookmark. I don't think it should be advertised that way, and I think it should be specifically aimed at middle-grade children.

Kids love these pencils. How many kids can say they have $100?

Excelent for Financial Recognition
Very appropiate for the financial industry or financial training sessions.
