These are the chubby triangular-shaped coloring pencils. We love them, but can't figure out how to sharpen them, other than take out the Swiss knife... Is there a pencil sharpener for this kind of chubby pencils? Thanks!!

Not those, but triangular pencils I have been able to sharpen on a standard hand crank school style pencil sharpener.

I'm almost positive they sell a triangular shaped sharpener. I will search for you. Your post is timely because we have the same pencil and I was just thinking the other day that I need to order a sharpener.

I'm thinking a pencil sharpener made to sharpen the larger "kindergarten" pencils would work. You might find one with a large enough opening in the makeup department that's designed for the thicker eye pencils.
