School is back in full swing which makes now the perfect time to check out all of these quirky pencil cutters. The pencil sharpener is one of the most overlooked school and office essentials, and kids shove them to the side because most classrooms come equipped with one. Adults, on the other hand, disregard the pencil sharpener because of its typically bulky size and bland design.
These quirky pencil cutters are designed to appeal to both adults and children. Kids will love the creativeness of the Pinocchio and robot pencil sharpeners while adults will be more than happy to place any one of these designer sharpeners on their desks at work or at home. These quirky pencil cutters show just how much a little imaginative design can change the entire image of one item.
