Use the yellow paint to create the pencil by painting on both sides of the chunky clothespin covering 3\/4 of the wood.&nbsp; Be sure to also paint the sides too. Get your kids involved in this craft, it&#8217;s really easy and a fun memory to do together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Then using the pink paint, it&#8217;s time to add the pencil eraser to the end of the pencil.&nbsp; I made the end where you pinch the eraser portion so I could also paint the inside portion too.&nbsp; Be sure to paint the edges on this task too pink.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Learning-to-Write-with-Beginner-Pencils-for-Preschool-and-Kindergarten-.jpg\" alt=\"Learning to Write with Beginner Pencils for Preschool and Kindergarten\" class=\"wp-image-26531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Learning-to-Write-with-Beginner-Pencils-for-Preschool-and-Kindergarten-.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Learning-to-Write-with-Beginner-Pencils-for-Preschool-and-Kindergarten--600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Learning-to-Write-with-Beginner-Pencils-for-Preschool-and-Kindergarten--300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp; The last step is to use your silver paint to create the metal portion of your pencil.&nbsp; The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000Y009L6\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000Y009L6&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thedsponit02-20&amp;linkId=3cc1bce6562017a9d3eba943823123aa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shimmering Silver Acrylic Paint<\/a>&nbsp;adds a special sparkle to the whole pencil craft which I highly recommend.&nbsp; You can use it later in the year to create holiday crafts too, instead of using glitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. OPTIONAL: You can paint a little black potion of the end for a pencil point, we left it off to make them easier to make.&nbsp; Plus, if you really want your pencil painting to last you could also add an Acrylic Paint Sealer<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Writing-Activity-for-Sight-Words-with-pencils.jpg\" alt=\"Writing Activity for Sight Words with pencils\" class=\"wp-image-26534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Writing-Activity-for-Sight-Words-with-pencils.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Writing-Activity-for-Sight-Words-with-pencils-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Writing-Activity-for-Sight-Words-with-pencils-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pencil Themed Sight Word Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be a fun hands-on way to work on those&nbsp;high-frequency words for Kindergarten &amp; First Grade!
