Kidco Wonder Pencil Box K1900, Dual Side Open, Fun Prints

This is a hard plastic pencil box that opens from both sides, so pencils, pens, an eraser, and a sharpener all get their own end instead of turning into a jumbled pile every time your child opens it. The clip locks snap shut on both flaps and the edges are rounded off, which matters more than it sounds since kids drop these things constantly on the way in and out of a bag.

The designs are where this one actually stands out from the usual plain pencil box, you get playful prints like dancing astronauts, a dinosaur on a bike, sharks in floaties saying “hey bro,” and a black cat with “I’ve got the cattitude” printed across it, across six colours including racer red, kitty pink, and sky blue. It’s the kind of design kids actually want to show off at school rather than something a parent picks and the kid tolerates.

On the honest side, one buyer mentioned that one of the two side latches on their box was noticeably harder to open than the other, which is worth knowing if you’ve got a younger child who needs to manage it independently every day, it might need a little help with that stiffer side at first. Otherwise, feedback on Kidco’s pricing versus quality has been positive, with buyers calling it good value for a budget stationery brand in Pakistan. It holds a decent amount of stationery for its size and fits into a standard school bag without taking up much room.
