These 12 pre-sharpened glamorous pencils feature black wood wrapped in a silver foil that reflects rainbows when hit by light. This can be really handy when trying to distinguish which student owns which pencil (A fight more common than I'd like to admit from my homeschooling years). Don't worry the lead is just a standard #2 pencil that easily erases with the latex-free eraser. A perfect stocking stuffer or an easy way to spice up schoolwork for the sparkle-lover in your life (even if that's you, Mom!). Laura
