Got these fabulous holiday scented Smencils for Christmas from an OT friend of mine (thanks, Matia!), and my students LOVE THEM. And of course when I find something that kids love, I have to pass it along on my blog... I almost always have scented markers in my bag for kids to use, but the scents of these pencils set them apart!
The holiday Smencils are not colored pencils, each are regular pencils. The kids love to smell all of them; the scents are long lasting, and each pencil is inside a tube, which preserves the scent very well. There is an added fine motor aspect to using them too, in that the kids have to pull off the cap, pour the pencil out of the tube, and then put it back in and cap it when they are done. Such fun!
Smencils also come in a package of 10 colored pencils, too! Each of them has a "distinctive gourmet food aroma," and again they are contained in a case to preserve freshness of the scents. You can find them at Barnes and Noble, or order them on their website here:
