Following on from the hugely successful Stick Book, The Pencil Book is bursting with equally inventive and imaginative ideas and things to do for children, this time with pencils. It provides a starting point for an active imagination and brings together drawing, creating, picture making, adventures, craft, games and play. It opens up a world of creativity, with plenty of photographs to add inspiration and with fun facts dotted throughout (did you know that a pencil will write in zero gravity, upside down and under water, or that the worlds biggest pencil stands at 65ft high?).
Miri Flower offers creative and inventive suggestions for things to do with a pencil, including:
Making a pencil-pot
Mirror pictures
Stamping with pencil erasers
Nature walks
Using pencil shavings to make an image
