1. How do I get pencil shavings without a sharpener?

You can use a knife to carefully shave the pencils, but adult supervision is recommended for safety.

2. Can I use other types of glue?

Yes, while traditional white glue works well, any craft glue that dries clear will suffice.

Feel free to use crayons or even pieces of colored paper that you can cut into shavings.

Make sure they are securely glued down, and once the glue is dry, you may consider spray sealing the piece lightly.

This project is suitable for ages 5 and up, with adult supervision recommended for younger kids during specific steps.
