Inspire Creativity in Kids With Eco-Friendly Art Supplies for Back to School

Make going Back to School more fun and help the environment while helping kids be creative with some of these fun art supplies when shopping for Back to School products.  We found these great pencils, crayons and more at the Stubby Pencil Studio.

We love this set of color pencils with thick leads and oversized triangular barrels that offer rich colors and are nearly unbreakable and they come packaged in a reusable tin.  These jumbo size hexagonal pencils with clear finish are made from reforested wood. The 12 brilliant colors with extra thick leads will impress anyone that handles them.

NEW for back to school are Smart Smencils - pencils made from 100% recycled newspaper and scented with peppermint. Science has confirmed that the scent of peppermint stimulates brain activity and improves concentration. Recent studies showed increased test scores in children who were exposed to the scent of peppermint during testing. Smart Smencils will give your kid's brain a boost!

What kid won't adore eco stars made from 100% recycled crayons. Each box holds 20 handcrafted stars in a range of colors and they are perfect for small hands.  Thru the National Crayon Recycling Program more than 45,000 pounds of old, rejected and broken crayons have been rescued before going to landfills. Purchasing eco stars supports recycling education and employs people with disabilities.

Another great back to school product to conserve resources is a 3-in-1 pencil sharpener. These sharpeners are made of high quality materials and sharpening blades to bring both graphite and color pencils to an ideal point. The GRIP Trio Sharpening Box has three diameters of sharpeners and plenty of space for the shavings and kids love to sharpen pencils.
