Making Smencils Pencils and then giving some to YOU

My son made Smencils as a little back to school gift for his friends.  He had so much fun! Last year he bought one from another child at school selling them for her dance fundraiser.  He has talked about them ever since. I have to say it is a quite ingenious product that is also good for the environment.

In the home kit your receive enough supplies to make 8 pencils, two of each scent.

First you apply the label

Then apply the scent

Allow the pencil to dry and then place it in its own cool plastic freshness tube!

Smencils is going to allow 1 person to try the home kit that makes 8 pencils and 20 people to make a mini kit that makes two pencils. Please leave a comment by midnight Sunday, August 10, 2008 for a chance to win these extra fun freebies!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!

    That is so cool – I’ll have to pick some up if I don’t win (I never win, but that’s ok). My kids will love this – ok it’s really for me who still yearns for smurfette scratch & sniff stickers. Thanks for the opportunity!

    This is so cool! I’d seen Smencils in the store, but I had never seen the make-your-own kit. Of course, the first thing that pops into my head is mixing the scents to make truly gourmet, one-of-a-kind pencils! I’d love to try this with JediBoy.

  3. Sunshine says:

    Oooh – these are such a cute idea! I’m sure all my kids would love them, but my step-daughter is visiting for the rest of the summer, and those look like they are just up her alley!!!

  4. Shauna says:

    I would love to have one of these kits. My children would have so much fun making these. Smencils are great!

  5. Heather G says:

    My son has just discovered pencils. He thinks they are so much cooler than crayons and markers. Smencils would really excite him!

  6. Leslie says:
