"Sorry for taking your pencil" in Spanish?
I was tutoring a fifth grader in math who only speaks Spanish, mostly. After I was done and went to another student, I think I accidentally took it and lost it. I got her another one that I'm going to give her and I want to tell her sorry for taking/stealing it.

In plain words: lo siento por tomar tu lápiz.
It's literal but quite idiomatic.
Siento haberte perdido el lápiz. Aquí tienes otro.
Siento mucho haber perdido tu lápiz. Tóma éste y discúlpame. i'm sorry I lost your pencil. Take this one and accept my apology.
