Fun Facts
Pencil makers added the eraser to the pencil in 1858. Before erasers, people often used crumbs from white bread to erase pencil marks. At first, some teachers did not like pencils with erasers because they thought children would be more likely to make mistakes. Source: Kids Play and Create – Fun Back to School Facts for Kids
