This Gear Will Save Your School Year

If colored pencils are on your child’s school supply list, give these a whiff. Smencils are eco-friendly, created from recycled newspaper wrapped around a colored pencil core and preserved in a case made of cornstarch-based biodegradable plastic. Available in a pack of 10 colors, they’re guaranteed to last two years! (Psst — Smencils makes graphite pencils, too!)
