Tips for the Mini Pencil
The pencil is a yellow tube with a sharpened wood tip in cream, a graphite point in gray, and a pink eraser at the end with a silver band. The bear hugs the pencil like a giant crayon, which creates the playful size contrast that makes this design charming. Keep the pencil stiff with firm stuffing or a wire core.
