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.

I would love to win a set of these to use with my 4 year olds! 🙂
My son has been a little less than enthusiastic about sitting at the table for more than 2 minutes. I think the smens would distract him long enough to realize that little school is fun and smells soooo good too.
Please don’t enter me in for the pens as I am from Australia, postage would be a killer.. but I just had to leave a comment: I love seeing that your darling children are taking to using these awesome pens and that you have recorded the moment in their studies even down to Miss attacking your grade 3’s book :):):) that is way CUTE and so what every day life is about xxx
