Game Board Pencil Holders

These Creative Pencil Holders are Tic Tac Toe-Inspired

— May 30, 2013 — Life-Stages
The 'Tic Tac Toe Pencil Holder' by design company '24Dientes' is a creative pencil holder that pays homage to the retro childhood classic game of tic-tac-toe. A great way to throw some fun into office boredom, these creative pencil holders are super cute and fun.

Made out of light beech wood, the Tic Tac Toe Pencil Holder is creatively a flat pencil holder rather than the traditional cup. The board is filled with nine three by three holes that sturdily hold upright several pens and pencils. Multi-functional for organization and fun, these creative pencil holders are a great way to take a relaxing breather at work and also play a game.

Simply remove everything off of the board, find a friend and battle it out in an epic and nostalgic game of tic-tac-toe.
