Half a dozen donuts that smell like vanilla and rub out pencil.

Dainty Donuts is a set of six erasers, each one iced, glazed and sprinkled differently, and each one actually works: the pink glaze lifts a wrong answer as well as the plain rubber in the pencil case ever did. They smell of sweet vanilla, which is most of the reason a nine year old will keep track of them.

They are small, which is the point. Six of them go in a pencil case, split across a party favor bag, land in an Easter basket, or sit on a desk purely as a collection. Teachers buy them for the prize bin. Adults buy them for their own desk and admit nothing.

OOLY rates them for ages 6 and up.
