How long is a pencil?
In animals, that is
With more facts and less whimsy:
The biggest colouring pencil in the world can be found at Derwent Pencil Museum, Cumbria, UK. It’s a yellow Derwent pencil, and was made at the Derwent Pencil Factory alongside their ordinary sized pencils. The idea for the pencil came from Barbara Murray, technical manager at the factory.
The biggest graphite pencil in the world was built by Ashrita Furman and a team of volunteers to celebrate the 76th birthday of Sri Chinmoy. It can be seen today at the City Museum, St Louis, Missouri, US
The smallest pencil in the world was made by Prakash Chandra Upadhyay It is only 0.5mm wide and very hard to see
How long is your favourite pencil right now? I think mine is about two snails.
All my posts are remaining free and open for the foreseeable future! If you fancy getting me a cuppa tea that would be amazing! Totally up to you, we’ll still be friends!
Best post ever and yes, yes I did immediately grab a Blackwing and a guinea pig to check 😆
Haha! I love this so much! My current fave pencil is about 1/2 a quokka long.
