A little artist is ready to draw a new plan. Start with the pink eraser, add the long yellow shaft and finish the pointed drawing tip.
Before you build with real tiles
- Lay every tile flat and look from above. Join neighboring straight edges in step order, without overlapping or stretching tiles.
- Use any colors in your own kit. Every part is an ordinary square, triangle or cutout magnetic tile.

Add in this step: 4 square tiles
Join two pink squares for the eraser and two silver-gray squares above them for its band.

Step 2 / 3 3. Finish the wood and dark tip
Add in this step: 2 square tiles · 2 right triangle tiles
Add two wood-colored squares, then join two dark right triangles into the pencil point.
Hands-on tip: Keep every tile flat. Join full magnetic edges, working outward from the existing tiles without stacking faces.
