pushpins

Bulletin board anchors

Pushpins are short pins with large, often colorful plastic heads, used to attach papers or other lightweight items to a bulletin board or wall.

The broad head makes them easy to press in by hand and pull out again.

Also called thumbtacks, though thumbtacks typically have flat metal heads rather than raised plastic ones.
