Back-to-School Week: Smencils


Published 08.12.2008 |

back to schoolIf you're like me and still have weeks to go before school starts, get your kids in the mood by crafting some of their own supplies. Look at these Smencils, they are gourmet scented pencils that kids make on their own with the Smencils Home Kit. And, since they're made of 100% recycled newspapers, there's a teachable moment in there too.

To make your own scented-pencil, just use all the materials provided. Label your pencil with the sticker, scent it with the applicator and then let dry and save it in the Freshness Tube.

Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

About this Column

The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!

From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
