Colored pencils, mechanical pencils, No. 2 and No. 5 ... we even have furniture with pencil impersonated legs. To balance it out we have crayon drapes. And a big red gum eraser pillow.

I of course was too blame--the older sister, with sharp pencils, jumping on the bed.....so I am always hesitant to give my kids sharp sharp pencils...I usually try and keep the pretty dull.Thanks for your tackle--a tackle of fear!

When I was younger I stepped on a pencil that was in a grabage bag on the floor. It went into my foot and I stll have the coloring from it. My other foot I stepped on a toy dinosaur that must have been hungry. I had 5 different bite marks. I have a fear of pencils and little kids also.
