I found a new eco company that I love a few weeks back. In fact I think it only took me 5.0 seconds to
click the buy now button after I landed my on Stubby Pencil Studio. Not only do their products rock..the prices rock even harder.
One of my favorite product offerings are the 100% recycled greeting cards and invitations called Color ‘n Kids™. Not only are they eco friendly they allow for kids to call upon their inner artist as they can color the cards and personalize them. I HATE sending cards but sometimes you just have to. Now when my relatives send the kids some gifts we have some cards on hand to color and send. And what does Stubby Pencil Studio have for your kids to color with? How about their eco friendly colored pencils or their soy crayons? We have both and they are much better for artwork than icky petroleum based products that use unsustainable materials.
I am so energized by companies that do their part to make kid friendly products that are earth friendly too. The owner Kate Rosenthal, who is super nice BTW, started the company after she realized there was a need for eco-friendly, do-it-yourself stationery products for young children. I am glad she did see the need, her store is awesome.
What awesome products! I know my kiddos would love them:)
I want to win! Love the name Stubby Pencil Studio! Too cute.
Would love new art supplies
I would love to see products like these sold in mainstreme stores…there really is a big need for them.
I have had it pounded into me since I was a little kid that you always send a thank you card when you get a gift. Funny, because the people that were so adamant about it–my dad and his wife–never sent me a thank you note. Oh well, I still send them; can’t help it.
How cool! Would love this for little ones.
My kids love crafty stuff! And like you, I too hate sending cards. But it must be done.
My little artists would love these :)
wow! i didn’t even realize that there was sucha thing…. just the little things i don’t even think about looking for in an ‘organic’ type of form…. my husband tends to like the tried and true methods so i would love to see if he noticed a difference using these with the baby!!
That is such a cute little art set.
Neat product! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I’ve always wanted to try soy crayons, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
oh wow, i would love to win this! my kids are in a heavy card making phase right now, since we recently moved FAR from all family and friends, so this would definitely be put to good use :)
I recently bought a few things from there for my 5 year-old’s birthday. Her favorite thing is the watermelon scented smencil. We would love to get some more and try out the cards too when finances permit.
My kids would love some extra art supplies, and I love that they are earth friendly!
Thanks so much for the opportunity.
I put your link in my sidebar under ‘other planets’. Thanks again for the opportunity.

AWESOME giveaway! We are huge smencils fans around here!!
Fantastic! I will check out their website! I love hearing of new products!
Great giveaway. My kids would love the art set.
I have linked to your giveaway on my blog.
Excellent product. Love eco-friendly companies.
What a great giveaway! My kids would both love this. I posted it on my blog.

Cool! Would love that!
I admit, despite the ecological consequences, I am still a big fan of hand-written correspondence. I definitely need to give that site a peek.
WOW, that sounds great. I’ll definitely have to try these, that is if I don’t win. My daughter has Autism, but loves to color. This would be a great way for me to let her connect to others as she doesn’t do it as well in person!!!
My 4 year old would love art supplies…..he did take art classes before going to school and loved it….so these would be a great start to our art collection of supplies.
I would love to win these!
I absolutely love this site. Everything item they carry is delightful! Please enter me in your drawing. I always appreciate it. Thanks,Cindi
Would love these for my guys and so much better than buying traditional ‘wasteful” cards!
Would love to win this for my kids!
I love it! My girls love to send cards. This would be perfect!
soy crayons are excellent. my son loves them and i’m sure he would love more since our dog ate his last set!!
I’ll have to try these! My oldest loves to color and write.
I would love to try these!
I never even thought to look for earth-friendly crayons or colored pencils. This would definitely make me feel better about art time for sure.
Oh what a great idea! my kids would love this!!
Love the way she’s holding the bread.
I left a post on Chrysanthemoms (http://chrysanthemoms.com/index.php/2008/06/09/earth-friendly-kids-stationery-from-nature-moms-blog-and-stubby-pencil-studio/) and on my own website.
How fun! We’d love to win! Thanks!
C-U-T-E-! I can see my lil’ artist loving this and learn a lesson of thank-you-notes. someone in thr family should have proper manners! :)
They sound like great fun!!!
That’s a great product!! Perfect for my 17 mo old son, who puts crayons in his mouth. No worries for me!! :)
Sooo cute. My niece’s birthday is in July and she’ll love these.
Very cute! Thank you for the giveaway!
Very nice!
thanks for the chance!
This would be perfect for my art loving niece. I am most excited about the smencils. I used to love smelling the smelly markers. You would always end up with a multi-colored nose afterwards but it was a small price to pay for the lovely smells.
my kids would love that. count me in!
Coming out of lurking to leave a comment and say hello! Love the site. Keep up the great work!
What a great alternative!
ayi carumba! JACKPOT for sure! perfect start to the summer and it sure will make those thank you cards easier for my girls!
Love it ! My son loves to do art projects. I am gathering a basket of new “goodies” to help entertain him when my second one comes along in a few weeks. I was told by a friend it helps to have something “new” to keep the older one busy while nursing the new baby. Any tips ???
These would be great for Rylee. She’s not writing yet but grandparents would get her artwork. :)
Would love to win this for my kids. They would enjoy it so much. Thanks
Wow thank you for the giveaway.
My daughter would like this!
What a great web-site! My son would love it! Please enter me!!
Thanks!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks so much and have a nice evening!
I encourage you to embrace cards, not just when you have to. We are loosing the art of letter writing in our nation, and it is such a personal and tangible gift to get someone’s hand written gift of words.
I love eco-friendly companies and kid friendly products! Thanks for blogging and helping everyone to live mindfully!
my girls love sending cards!! they would love coloring the cards even more
My baby girl is a little artist and would love it!
Samantha from http://www.safbaby.com loves it.
Ok, this is just plain AWESOME. We are a crafty kind of family, first of all. I have my own scraproom. My daughter is heavily into art (she’s 12, and already in advanced art at her middle school) so I’d probably put this away for her for her birthday coming up. She’d love it! I also saved the site for some shopping for the holidays, green products = me happy!! Thanks so mcuh!
My daughter loves making cards, and I’ve had my eye on this company for awhile!
This is such a great giveaway – and with great timing! My girls LOVE smencils, and they love to draw and color. We would love to sin this one!
Thanks again,
Jennifer

So great! My kids love making their own cards for friends!
this would be so much fun for family night. thank you for the great contest.
smencils are the best pencils in the world. I’d love it if my daughter used nothing else at school and a s she get older that’s all i’m going to buy her! I’d love to have this kit!
Great products. Our budding artists would love these. Thanks!
What a great idea! I love these cards! So personal and a fun way to teach children gratefullness.

I’m so loving this groovy giveaway!! It takes me back to the days when I sniffed those Mr. Sketch markers…aka Magic Markers!! LOL! No seriously smencils sound like so much fun and the fact that they’re sustaintable, well, that’s my middle name. ; ) My son would have ton of eco fun with these and the crayons. Neato! Stubby Pencil rocks! :)

sweet!
I want to win these for my daughter. We recently put her on a gluten and casein free diet (to help with her Autistic symptoms) and I had to take away her play-doh, one of her favorite toys. I would love to present her with a safe, non-toxic (and hopefully gluten-free) alternative. Great give-away, thanks!
please enter me :)
