This preschool craft is super easy and only needs a few supplies. It also works great as a kindergarten craft or classroom craft.
I recently made this with my kids before school started. We sat at the kitchen table with a pile of construction paper. They loved tearing the paper into tiny pieces. It was fun to see how focused they were while gluing the pieces in place.
My youngest made a rainbow pencil, and my oldest added glitter glue to the eraser. It was so sweet to watch them use their creativity. There’s no right or wrong way to do this craft. That’s the best part.
If you’re a teacher, this makes a great classroom craft. You can use it during the first week of school. It’s a quiet, calming activity. Plus, it looks great on a bulletin board or hallway display.
If you’re doing this at home, hang the finished pencils on the fridge or bedroom door. It’s a fun way to get excited for school.
Kids can use yellow paper for the pencil, pink for the eraser, gray for the metal part, and black or brown for the tip. But any colors will work.
This back-to-school craft is not just cute—it helps kids build fine motor skills too. Tearing paper and using glue are great ways to strengthen little hands.
So grab some paper, print the template, and start crafting. This simple pencil craft is sure to be a hit.
