About this printable
You are drawing the tool you are holding, which makes this how to draw a pencil for kids page a nice joke and a real lesson. Start with a tall rectangle, add a point, then the eraser, then the metal band. Look at the real pencil on the table between steps. Wood lines are two short marks, not full grain. Keep it a plain school pencil, not a character pencil with a face unless the child invents one after. This sheet fits supply lists, first-week folders, and art-center warmups. If the point looks like a rocket, shorten the triangle. Teachers can demo shading on the side. Date the page. Kids often want to decorate the barrel with their name, which is a fine last step on a second copy.
