Frequently Asked Questions

What are Smencils and why do kids love them?

Smencils are scented pencils made from recycled newspaper that write like a standard No. 2 pencil but come in a range of fun, recognizable scents — think cotton candy, watermelon, and root beer. Kids love them because they turn a mundane school supply into something collectible and sensory. Smencils pencils are a perennial bestseller in elementary school stores and reward programs because students actively seek them out rather than passively receiving them.

Are scented pencils a good option for classroom rewards and school store inventory?

Absolutely — scented pencils are one of the strongest-performing items in both classroom reward programs and elementary school stores because they carry novelty value well above their price point. Smellable pencils feel like a treat rather than a school supply, which is exactly what makes them effective as incentives. Students who earn or buy a smencil are far more likely to use and protect it than a standard pencil — extending its visibility as a reward signal throughout the classroom.

How do Smencils compare to regular pencils for classroom and school store use?

Smencils write comparably to standard No. 2 pencils — same graphite core, same erasability — but the scented barrel and collectible appeal make them dramatically more motivating for elementary students. Where a regular pencil is a supply, a smencil is an event. For school stores, smell pencils and scented varieties consistently outsell plain alternatives at the same price point because students choose them deliberately. For reward programs, the novelty factor makes them punch well above their cost as a motivational tool.
