"Map pencils" are just pencils with colored lead I think there are about 10 in a box or package. The red one can double as a red checking untill a pen can be found. Dollar Tree store did have some the other day - you might call first. Good luck
Hi Mari-
Map pencils are just colored pencils, you can get them anywhere. A red checking pencil is a red pencil or a red checking pen is just a red pen. These can be gotten at gro stores, Walgreens, etc...
As far as I know, it's the same as a colored pencil. Good luck!
I don't know if the Wal-Mart worker knew what she was talking about but when I asked her she took me to the colored pencils and said that was what I needed.
Map pencils are just colored pencils.
Mari,
Map pencils are just colored pencils. If you go to www.dickblick.com , you can order these "map pencils" online. Just look for colored pencils once you get to their site.
Hope this helps!

Map pencils are colored pencils.
They're just colored pencils.... made by Crayola. I have a box on mydesk right now that I use for work. It's a box of 12 Crayola "Colored Pencils".
I would go to an office supply place or a drug store for the red pens. Someplace folks don't normally think of for school supplies. That way you're likely to find some in stock.
Map pencils are just color pencils. They make it very confusing!!!They are the same thing!!! And also, the red pens... just get any pack of red pens, they don't have to be anything special.Hope this helps!!!
A teacher's supply will be your best bet! I am thinking "map" pencils are colored pencils, not too sure though. That is what I bought for my child. I too ran into the same trouble this year. I looked ALL OVER for the large pink erasers! Good luck!
Map pencils are simply colored pencils, some teachers call them "map pencils" because they use them to color maps. anyway, that was true when my kids were in school years ago. As far as red checking pencils, when you buy the "map pencils" there is always a red one in there as well. Or, often when you buy 2 blue or black pens, they will throw in a red one for free. So look for that. Try the Dollar Tree as well, they have some school supplies cheaper than Target and WalMart
A map pencil is just another way of saying colored pencils that is all that is. and Wal mart stocks up often I work for walmart so I know that they do.

Hello, a map pencil is just the colored pencils :)
Wouldn't it just be easier if they stated it that way on the supply forms!!
Walmart stocks them, I saw them in Grimes County - Navasota. They are just colored pencils, that teachers require for maps that kids draw. You can also get them in dollar stores.
I just went to christian book store and they have them too.

When I think of a map pencil, I think of a black grease pencil. I remember back in 4th grade...many moons ago...that we had laminated maps and would draw stuff on the map with the grease pencil.

I knew a person back in the 60’s that made and drew maps and the lead on his colored pencils were hard core and thin as a kid i would use them but took so long to color with them.
