Lead poisoning?

Modern pencils use graphite, which is a very soft form of carbon, rather than lead. Depends on the time period.

If I recall this series, those kids are literally playing with their food. So if its lead, they are poisoning themselves too.

pencils were never lead, it was jut that the colour was very similar

That's true. It was a common myth that they grey centers of pencils were lead, but it was never true.
