Giveaway, Review: Stubby Pencil Studio

One day I found DS chewing on the tip of a crayon, and it totally freaked me out! Although the box said “non-toxic,” I decided to research safer, eco-friendly crayons, and found Prang Fun Pro Soy Crayons being offered at Stubby Pencil Studio.

Stubby Pencil Studio has so many products that not only your kids will love, but you will too. According to their website, Stubby Pencil Studio was launched in 2006 by Kate Rosenthal, “after she realized there was a need for eco-friendly, do-it-yourself stationery products for young children…In addition to stationery, Stubby Pencil Studio offers unique and earth-friendly art supplies…You’ll also find natural play dough, non-toxic toys and wooden craft kits that are made in the USA, and many other fun and creative eco products for children.”

When I got my box of Stubby Pencil Studio goodies, I couldn’t help but be a bit jealous of DS. I wish I had some of those goodies when I was a little kid! Along with the Prang Fun Pro Soy Crayons, which are made of soybeans and they draw/color just as well as “regular” crayons, I also received the following:

• Smencils: They’re made out of recycled newspaper and they come in a variety of fun scents. I love how they smell!
• Recycled Sketchbook: I admit--I’ll be using this and not DS. It was too cute to give up!
• Natural Play Dough: Completely safe, fun to play with, and comes in a variety of yummy fragrances.
• Colored & Graphite Pencils: A variety of pencils that were made from recycled wood or reforested sources.
• Cotton Canvas Bag: I finally have a non-store specific reusable bag that I can use anywhere!
• Maped Pencil Sharpener Can: Cute designs and it's great that the canister holds all the shavings so you can dump them out later.
• Recycled Cards: These are very neat, because your kids can decorate the cards on their own and write their own message inside!
• Key chain: A cute little puppy made out of eco-friendly materials.
• Made by Me toy: Your little one can not only build a wooden toy, but he or she can decorate it too!
