Awesome Erasers

We’ve enjoyed that our old 8-pack of LEGO Brick Erasers are the only official LEGO bricks that don’t hurt when you step on ‘em. Now we’ve added this even more colorful, ombre-toned pack to our desktop arsenal of useful toys. Shaped just like real 2×4 bricks, they’re great for stacking and erasing.

If you want to remove pencil marks from paper, you need a good eraser. While good old elbow grease usually does the trick, there are motorized erasers too.

We’ve seen how a factory makes pencils; now, learn how they help undo your mistakes by making erasers.

HMM’s playful desk accessory combines a pencil eraser, a pen holder, a business card holder, and a fidget toy. Each of its six outer pieces can be used to correct mistakes, while the gaps hold cards, and their backside can hold a pen. Plus, it feels great just rolling it around in the palm of your hand.

When you build with LEGO, it’s easy to correct your mistakes just by unsnapping and snapping some bricks. Now, LEGO can help you correct your written mistakes, assuming you use a pencil. These novelty erasers look just like 4×2 LEGO blocks. They’re sold eight to a pack, in four light and airy colors.

dP Art Drawing loves to experiment with many different drawing techniques. Recently, he decided to create an image by covering a background with charcoal powder, then revealing its subject using an electric eraser. The second drawing achieves more subtle shading with an ordinary 50 cent eraser though.
