If given the choice I will usually opt for soy or beeswax crayons. The conventional ones made from petro products are not a favorite. I will usually make an exception for recycled crayon products though because you are buying used instead of new. The fact that Eco Stars are made from recycled materials, along with the fact that my youngest needs to work on his grasping skills according to his therapist at school, made me think this product might be a good fit for us. Theses crayons are melted … [Read more...]

There are six new colors: green moss, pink, ocean blue, black, tree bark, and orange. … [Read more...]
Eco Stationary from Stubby Pencil Studio
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 … [Read more...]
