Educational Insights Smencils 10-pack
Aromatherapy in a pencil. Two years worth of smelling something good. (And you can feel good about the environment as well.) Fun for all ages. Delightful, energizing, and always pleasant, the scents in Smencils pencils are so intense they last a full two years! 10 luscious scents. Bright colors enliven the mind sweet scents lift your spirits. No doubt, you've tried a few scented stickers, erasers, and markers. You breathed deeply hoping for some wafting, sweet smell to register on your olfactory lobe. In contrast, Smencils make the whole room smell fabulous. There is amazing scent to these pencils because the recycled newspaper they are made from is first soaked in luscious gourmet liquid scents (made by an award winning fragrance company). (I'll admit. I bought Smencil pencils because I thought if the scent lasted only one day, my son would get a kick out of them. 6 months later his Smencils pencils still smell delicious!) Made from 100% recycled newspapers and packaged in a corn-based, biodegradable Freshness Tube. You can feel good about the environment as well. Smencils pencils create bold lines with #2 graphite writing cores. They sharpen nicely like other wooden pencils. A long-lasting treat for the senses.

Customer Reviews
Smells strong, great, and lasts for ages!
I have to admit that I was doubtful about this product. I've bought a lot of scented items like stickers, erasers, and pencils that had very little scent, even when brand new.
But this product is very, very different! The scent is VERY strong and very pleasant! The plastic tubes that each pencil comes in makes for a great way to store the pencils to keep their scent lasting a long time. I've had one of my smencils for several years, and the scent is still just as strong today as it was the day I bought it used as a flea market in a cracked tube! I recommend storing these in the plastic tubes at all times so their scent stays strong for years. (Or at least until the pencils are used up!) I personally just keep these around for the scent, which I find calming, but you may use them up long before the scent thing even becomes an issue.
If you love scented things as much as I do, I think you'll be really impressed with these. They are, by far, the most strongly scented item I have ever purchased. I give this product five stars all the way!
I use them, too!!
I bought these for my kids for Christmas and they are a hit! We homeschool so my kids love doing their school work with their "smell-good" pencil! I have even taken over one for myself. The pencil lead is great for writing... very smooth and easy.
My only suggestion is to NOT use a battery operated or plug-in pencil sharpener. Your pencil will waste away too soon and be gone. Get a sharp hand-held sharpener and you will find the pencil lasts a really long time and sharpens without much effort.
HOW FUN!
"Santa" put these pencils in my 4-year-old son's stocking this year. And they truly came in handy when we had to write out our thank you cards. We would do ten cars a day, and go through the different scents one by one. He's not much for writing thank you notes... but, thanks to these pencils, he managed to do them and be entertained by the different scents. Lifesaver! I will make sure to pull them out when he has writing assignments in the future.
But, some are more sharp than others. So, make sure to have a sharpener on hand when you use them.
