Within reason, a standard pen of pencil is longer than an adult hand so what does it matter if it's a little longer with a 5 year old?

I think the argument they're that length because it's perfect to write with is a myth. I don't struggle to write with the stubby pens in a betting shop for example. |

That man was deluded thinking that short pencils were going to change schooling landscapes. It was funny to see it, it seemed a comical pitch.
Christ, they need to remove the "Reaction Room" you can tell it is going to be bad. It is Dragons Den, not the X factor. |

Oh gawd the kids watching the pitch thing is cringe worthy.. when you consider all the editing is done afterwards. It's as fake as the lift.

It's a brush. They've re-invented the brush.

There is no way they have a trademark on a brush that holds water and releases it via the brush. I've used one before to clean a bathroom. You'd put soapy water in it.
