So today, I have another fun little giveaway from Educational Insights for you! Smens Scented Pens!

The Smens from Educational Insights have become our latest summer school motivating tool! We’ve been using them to complete our Summer Bridge Activities from Carson Dellosa. We do a lesson each day and the Smens are our “special” pens for these activities. Somehow having something special makes the work more fun ;o)

What are Smens?

Smens are gourmet scented pens made from recycled newspapers. Available scents include Red Licorice, Creamsicle, Aloha, Mystery Scent, Banana Fo Fana, Mocha, Passion Fruit, Ninja Berry, Pink Lemonade, and Black Licorice. Each Smen is individually wrapped in a stay-fresh biodegradable plastic tube and is guaranteed to keep its scent for two years.

What’s the Cost? $24.95 for a set of 10 scented pens

The only complaint we had were that the pens are all black ink, my kids were hoping that they were colored according to their scent. We also received some colored pencils though and that seems to have made their color issues disappear. They use both all the time!

I have to say that I love how the pens write. They’re nice and smooth and the ink flows out nicely, no clumping! And I can really tell that something’s a hit when I find the Teeny Tot trying it out for herself. She’s working on her older sister’s 3rd grade book below. Clearly she’s advanced for her age.

  1. I’ve seen these scented pens and am torn in trying them. I’m not sure how much work would get done! Would it excite my kids to do their work or would my kids sit there and keep sniffing the pens. 😉 But I’d love to try them out!

  2. My son just got a scented pencil for his birthday from his Sunday School teacher. He couldn’t wait to do school with it. Giving some scented pens to the kids would make doing the worksheets a little more fun.

  3. My daughter has asked for the Smencils before at the checkout stands but I haven’t bought them yet. I think all three of My kiddos would definitely have more fun doing their Summer Work using the Smens
    Thanks for the chance to Win Them!!!
