TropicaZona Branch & Twig Graphite Pencils, 10-Pack, Approximately 3.5 Inches Long, Small Size, Fits Nicely in Child's Hand Package Quantity: 10 Graphite Branch Pencils (Approx. 3.5 Inches Long) Dimensions: Approximately 3.5 Inches Long; Material: Twigs & Branches from Sustainable Wood TropicaZona brand pencils do NOT have dots on the blunt end, which eliminates the illusion that the lead goes the whole way through the pencil. We removed the dots after extensive feedback from our customers who said they prefer no dots which look more natural and cleaner. 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.
