Hyper-Extended Erasers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Celebrating Mistakes Pencil by Tom Wrigglesworth

— July 24, 2009 — Lifestyle
Feeling pressured and stressed at school is almost a given for most people. The extended eraser on this pencil is for an individual who tends to make a lot of mistakes. The Celebrating Mistakes Pencil by Tom Wrigglesworth supports the act of making mistakes, as they essentially teach us the right way to do something.

What I can't get over is how perfectly the name Wrigglesworth fits in with this innovation.

Implications - The Celebrating Mistakes pencil is a great tool for teaching children the value of mistakes for future learning. Visually interactive and unusual, the pencils are fun and the message behind them makes them a powerful work of art. The pencils bring a lighthearted perspective to academia which is often neglected with the pressures of academic performance.
