Kidco Lil Bin Pencil Sharpener with Built In Container | School Stationery for Kids

Most pencil sharpeners do one job and create another problem. You sharpen, shavings go everywhere, and someone has to clean up the desk, the bag, or the floor. The Kidco Lil Bin Sharpener skips that whole mess because the shavings collect right inside the body. Open the lid, tip it out when it is full, done.

The blade is metal and it does what a blade should do. It gives you a clean, even point without the pencil snapping halfway through. Parents buying school supplies in bulk will know how often cheap sharpeners either chew up the pencil or leave a lopsided tip. This one holds up reasonably well for everyday classroom use.

A few buyers on the Kidco site noted the sharpener is just okay for occasional use, not something to expect too much from. One reviewer said it works but it is not exceptional. The ones who recommend it tend to be buying for classrooms or school bags where a mess free sharpener matters more than anything else. The built in container is the actual selling point here.

It comes in four colours, green, orange, purple, and pink, each with a white body. Kids notice the colours and that matters when you are packing a school bag. Available as a pack of 6 or a box of 24 for classrooms and bulk buyers. At this price point it is a practical buy, not a premium one.
