How do they get color inside colored pencils?
How do companies get the colored lead/ink inside the wood in wooden colored pencils?
As interesting as the other replies are, that's not quite it.
The pencil starts out in two pieces, then they put the piece of colored lead/graphite in between them and glue them together.
I hope this helps.
