Descriptions

Eraser pen
Pen‑style mechanical eraser for precision work; refillable tips fit into pencils and holders; useful for detailed corrections in math and art.
Electric pencil sharpener
Quick, consistent sharpening for high classroom use; choose models with auto‑stop, removable shavings tray and quiet motor for classrooms.
Electric eraser
Small motorized eraser for precise removal of graphite and charcoal; uses replaceable eraser nibs—great for detailed drawings.
Easel
Freestanding stand for canvases, flipcharts or displays; available tabletop, A‑frame or adjustable models—pick size based on classroom space and activity.
Easel pad
Large pad of paper used on easels for lessons and group work; look for pre‑punched sheets and sturdy paper that resists bleed‑through.
