the parents who accompanied their children at the start of the
programme on how the mighty pencil is a creative tool for communication.

Make Your Own Pencil aspires to foster a stronger bond between children

Children are able to express their creativity

their children to frame up their creations.
This engagement boosts their bonding further.
