On my child's school supply list, it calls for a box of map pencils. What are those? Thanks in advance!
I would think it would just be a box of colored pencils. I know that is what we would always use in school for maps.
Map pencils are short colored pencils. I didn't know what they were either, but found out they are just colored pencils, but short.
would it just be the same thing as colored pencils?
Map pencils are simply colored pencils. I finally found out last year.
I have no idea what map pencils are, i suggest you call office depot or al-mart or somewhere that has a big selection of school supplies and ask them what map pencils are. Good luck with your map pencils!!!
Colored pencils was my guess, too.
Map pencils are simply cheap colored pencils, according to Wikipedia.
Ws the teacher born in the 1920's hahahahah. They are colored pencils.
Call his school and ask, they will be there since school is started soon and be glad to help you in any way they can.
The best answer I could find is: Canadians call colored pencils map pencils
Hi J.. As the mother of 5 children who went through the school system, I would say that is a box of colored pencils.
They are colored pencils.
Hey, Jen.
I'm pretty sure it just means regular colored pencils. Give those a try.

Hi,
colored pencils. Crayola has good, smooth ones. :)
Map pencils are the same as color pencils. They are easier to color with in small spaces and you can still see through the color to read names of states, regions, etc.
they are colored pencils.......think Crayola colored pencils, the ones you can sharpen. :) I'm a teacher, so that term is familiar to me.
I think those are colored pencils but most schools have someone in the school office before school starts and they can tell you

To me, they are pretty much a little more expensive, pencil color. My son still draws at the age of 23, and says they have a softer lead and they have better color. I had to get them at an art supply. What grade is your child in? My daughter is going to the 7th and has to have regular pencil colors. However, she did a lot of map coloring last year. Hope this helps,
