If you need help getting your children interested in school work this fall, look no further. Smencils 100% recycled newspaper pencils, have a fruit smell that is almost guaranteed to get even the laziest kid to do his homework.

Smencils are made from recycled rolled sheets of newspaper instead of wood. The newspaper is tightly wrapped around a #2 graphite writing core and then allowed to harden. The process makes Smencils almost as hard as wood, so they can be sharpened just like a traditional pencil.

Next, each Smencil is soaked in an eco-friendly, gourmet fragrance — root beer, pineapple, cherry, grape, peppermint, watermelon, orange and bubble gum — that creates a tantalizing aroma each time a Smencil is sharpened.

Smencils come in a corn-based, biodegradable container, so even their packaging is environmentally friendly.

Smencils smell great. And they’re saving the planet, one tree at a time.
