About the small block pencil sharpener with a round hole and a pencil going in

A pencil sharpener grinds a fresh, sharp point onto a pencil. Push the pencil into the hole and twist, and small blades shave off thin curls of wood and lead until the tip comes to a neat point. Many sharpeners have a little case around them to catch all those shavings. Wind a path through this sharpener maze, a fitting warm-up for a drawing or writing activity.

• A sharpener shaves a pencil to a fresh point as you twist it.
• A small case around the blades catches the pencil shavings.
