The idea to make pencils that smell good began in an apartment in Vancouver back in 2000, but trying to add scent to wooden pencils proved difficult. So once the idea of using pencils made from recycled newspapers developed, the product started to really come together in 2001. Our company started out supplying Smencils to schools to help them raise money at a time when non-nutritional food and chocolate fundraising started to decline. Fundraising groups have sold Smencils to raise millions of dollars to help pay for everything from uniforms to playground equipment, and we’re very proud of this!

Over the years, the “scented products” concept has resulted in many other innovations like pens, markers, crayons, sketch pads, and stickers. More recently, our product development team in California has introduced several toys, pillows, educational products, and stuffed animals; and not always scented. We’ve partnered with some great companies like Disney, Marvel, and Universal to merge their popular characters with our innovative and creative products. You can find our quality products in stores and online…….because we just want to make the funnest stuff on Earth!
