100% sustainable Sproutworld pencil with a message for a greener planet. This unsharpened pencil is made from wood. Attached to the end of the pencil is a capsule (made from cellulose) which contains seeds. Once the pencil has become too small to use, plant the pencil along with the capsule into some soil. After 2-3 weeks, the seeds germinate and grow into beautiful flowers, fragrant herbs or vegetables. Choose from various types. The name of the chosen plant will be engraved onto the pencil. The pencil contains no lead and is therefore completely safe. Made in Europe.
