Pencils from recycled newspapers
Pencils do not have to be made from wood; they can also be made from old newspapers. This is a pretty good idea because as you can imagine to just to make pencils whole trees are being cut down. At least this way the paper has already been used, and in fact when the pencils are sharpened the newsprint can be seen, which is a nice touch.
These “Smencils” are also scented and come in bubble gum, cherry, cinnamon, grape, pineapple, fruit punch, peppermint, water melon, root beer and orange flavors, the scents are guaranteed to last for up to two years.
Prices are $5 for a five pack or $10 for a ten pack.

You have to be kidding. yes, recycled pencils covered up with tons of dioxin oozing plastic. Let’s get a grip - this can’t be better than a wood pencil. Try O’BON pencils if you want the real deal. Even their packaging uses recycled paper. Also, no smell but great graphics to excite the young mind.
Take a look at this pencil and the blog at bigscream. Then go to the selling site http://www.stationery-obon.com
You are too big of a reycle store to be carrying this product, try O’BON instead.
