We removed the dots after extensive feedback from our customers who said they prefer no dots. Please do not sharpen these pencils with a regular pencil sharpener; These pencils do NOT have the graphite going through the whole pencil; the graphite is only inserted at the tip (the length of the graphite varies); Please do have fun with them! Great for outdoor-related activities such as outdoor classrooms, boyscouts, girlscouts, weddings, event planners, parties, etc.
