About this design

Teachers start the year with three hundred pencils. By October there are four left, and the teacher knows where every one of them is. This design gives official credit for a skill no education degree mentions.

A classic yellow pencil with a pink eraser and a silver ferrule sits tilted at the top, freshly sharpened. Below it, a red rubber-stamp box with a worn, inked look reads “PROFESSIONAL” over “PENCIL FINDER,” and “TEACHER LIFE” runs underneath in plain dark capitals.

Who it's for

First day of school, Teacher Appreciation Week, the last day before summer: any of them works. It's a fun gift for an elementary teacher, a substitute who deserves a raise, a classroom aide or a teacher friend at Christmas.

Fabric and fit

Soft, midweight unisex tee in ring-spun cotton (heather colors are a cotton and polyester blend). Relaxed classic fit with the design printed on the front.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Don't iron the print.
