Product Description Writing and drawing is much more fun when you do it with friends. And Pencil Play Pals would love to help a kid start a diary, draw a picture, or perhaps write a letter to someone special. As press-out Pencil Play Pals, they’re quite happy to hang around at the end of a pencil offering some quiet encouragement.
Attention to detail As a boy,
Norman Childes didn’t think it was quite right that pencil toppers had
pencils pushed into parts unknown. And all these years later, it still
bugs him. So he specifically designed Press-out Pencil Play Pals to look like they’re actually holding on to the pencil.
He also made sure there wasn’t any white space in narrow areas around
their bodies—as often found with the sloppy design of many press-out
cardboard characters. They’re also illustrated on both sides to look
good whichever way they’re facing you.
Not everyone realizes why they love the look of something, but it’s attention to details like these that make all the difference.
