These are short pencils. There are 16 pencils of 2B and B, 2 red pencils, and 2 blue and 4B pencils. The shortest is 5 cm, and the longest is about 7 cm. They are Puma, Crayon Shin-chan, and Challenge characters, so I think they are for boys. (My son used them.) I will include caps for those who want them. (Kimetsu no Yaiba, Pokemon, etc.)
