This is awesome: we get to see the pencils they were using, we get to see the amount they used, we get a reference to know how big the pencils are before use.

The only thing we're missing: some of your toddlers art. That would make this chef's kiss

Here is a recent drawing of a rainbow, featuring the brown paper. He usually includes black in the rainbow, but in this case I believe the darker stuff is purple.

From a data presentation standpoint: including this shows what he's using them for. The histogram is really good, showing the use of the pencils is amazing with the histogram above them, and then adding this picture shows what they're being used for. And it's easy to read and understand. This is textbook data presentation.

I'm guessing you are using the colloquial meaning of "textbook" here but I'm just going to say it - I'm not sure what textbooks you have had but as someone with a Math degree, the textbook stuff is..... really rudimentary.

OP on the other hand - I wish this was a good example of data presentation from textbooks.

If your textbooks looked like OP, more power to you!

Some humans can see more colors than others. The roygbiv color system for the rainbow is dummy downed. There are way more colors in the spectrum.

I think having the brown paper in the shot would've helped a lot
