Eraser

I've just bought a package of Sculpey Amazing Eraser Clay. (I can't speak to it's "amazing" qualities yet, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.) I'll make my son something fun for the top of his pencil — I've been thinking of a small rocket, or perhaps one of the planets in the solar system).

The dilemma in a product like this, of course, is that you can put all sorts of time and effort into crafting something detailed and wonderful — but it's ultimately going to be used as an eraser, and worn away, bit by bit! (I doubt I'll have that problem, though — when we're doing homework, my son stubbornly insists on removing whatever is at the top of his pencil and using the small pink eraser, instead.)
