How to make the craft
The craft requires having 1 card that has to be divided according to how you see the images. The size of the width will depend mainly on how big you want your cardboard pencil to be ... we have made a width of 3 cm for each side of the pencil, which will be shaped like a triangle.
Once you have the divided parts, fold them and the part that you put together can be glued, although we have chosen to use a stapler. Staple the commented part as you see in the images. Close the back with the staples so that the pencils cannot come out.
Once you have it ready you can decorate it as you want or leave it with the color of the cardboard, this will depend on your tastes. You will already have your pencil to be able to put some pencils and have them on hand whenever you need it. It is a very simple craft and The children will be able to have the pencils or markers well organized and stored so that the children know how to keep their things well organized.
