The pencil "LEAD" is graphite, not lead and has no risk of lead poisoning.

At this age, no sharp objects should be in reach. There is a risk of injury to the mouth. Instead crayons are a better choice. Place all cleaning and toxic chemicals in a licked cabinet, out of reach. Have the poison control number available. Encourage safe play and imagination.
