    I forgot two things. First...one box of 24-count 6mm Prang colored pencils
    fits nicely into one clear plastic tennis ball container j-u-s-t right and
    works great for a table of 3 students.

    Two...using hand-held pencil sharpeners with the two hole sizes works great
    too. The pencils don't break in them. I have one sharpener per table with
    little metal dishes I got at Cost Plus to hold the shavings. All that metal
    stuff looks snazzy to the kids and they think it's "professional".
    Toodles.....
