When Spitzer came, I was surprised at how small and shallow it is and I was not sure at first whether he is the right one for us. However, I was disabused. He pointed at super. Both normal pencils and crayons, as well as thick round pins and thick triangular crayons. The size of the collecting container is not too small, as initially thought. It fits but purely a lot. Slim design also makes it easy for children to properly sharpener in hand to hold. We are excited!
