About the Pencil
A pencil is a writing and drawing tool with a slim core of solid pigment, usually graphite, wrapped in a protective wooden case. That casing keeps the brittle core from snapping and keeps your fingers clean while you write. Sharpen the end and you have a fresh point ready for letters or drawings. Trace a line from tip to eraser through this pencil maze, a fitting warm-up for a back-to-school or handwriting activity.
- A single pencil can draw a line about 35 miles long.
- The wooden case protects the soft core and keeps hands clean.
