The “pencil factory” kit from the I'm a Genius science range is a small home laboratory that shows children how one of the most widely used writing tools in the world is made. Inside the box they’ll find the tools and materials they need to make pencils with their own hands, while understanding key connections in physics and chemistry.
An illustrated instruction manual is included, clearly explaining the manufacturing principles and adding plenty of interesting information about different types of pencils (for example special variants, more eco-friendly versions, or pencils used in extreme conditions). Children will gain not only a finished result, but also a broader understanding of what lies behind an “ordinary” line on paper.
