IT could definitely cause him some problems, especially if he ingested some pieces of pencil before chewing them properly. you will have to monitor him closely in the next 2-3 days, make sure he is not vomiting, not constipated and eating well. if you start seeing any of those signs- you should take him to the vet ASAP.
