I’m excited to share a new addition to our Christmas Gift Guide: SproutWorld Plant Your Pencil which we received in exchange for this review.
Plant You Pencil would also make a fun addition to hand out at #Halloween to get away from all the candy children receive. I wish I had known about SproutWorld Plant You Pencil when I was #Homeschooling Charlie and Suzzane because these would have been the only pencils I used.
I have a surprise for you Plant Your Pencil not only comes in regular pencils but also in map colors. I know Charlie would enjoy having to use when he is drawing. If your #Homeschooling your children and teaching them about gardening or the Planet, then you need to make sure you have Plant You Pencil on your school supply list.
I’ve always used lead pencils when working instead of mechanical pencils like Charlie and David prefer so I’ve decided to keep one set for myself which is already sharpened and the unsharpened pencils I plan on giving to Charlie. I plan on getting Charlie Pencil Sharpener Multipack Charlie can sharpen the pencils when he needs to.
About:
These next few months require a lot of gifts giving with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween and Valentine’s Day. I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but it is never too early to start thinking of gifts for kids, teachers, colleagues, family members and loved ones and that is why I shop year-round.
Sprout World has created the world’s only plantable pencil that gets a second life as a tree, flower or vegetable once they are too short to draw or write with. From pencil to petals, these unique pencil packs are designed to turn an everyday product into a blooming beauty.
When the Sprout pencil becomes too short to write with, you simply plant it, thus giving new life to an end-of-life product that would otherwise be thrown away. All Sprout pencils are 100% natural and are made from sustainably harvested wood. The writing material is a mixture of non-toxic graphite and clay and the seed capsule with seeds is made from plant-based material.
There have been over 80 million Sprout World pencils sold worldwide and are available with a variety of different seeds that grow into vegetables, flowers, herbs and even spruce trees!
Available at both Sproutworld.com and Amazon, below, please find more information on the new Holiday, Thank You, and Spread the Love editions.
There is also a line of colored pencils, which make great stocking stuffers.
HOLIDAY EDITION
Between 50 and 60 million Christmas trees are cut down each year. With this Christmas edition, SproutWorld encourages you to avoid cutting and throwing out your Christmas tree afterwards. Instead you can plant it in a pot and keep it for years. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree creates a cozy atmosphere and adds even more magic when you know that it comes from a single eco-friendly pencil from protected forests.
By potting a Christmas tree instead of cutting it down, everyone does nature a favor and also ensures that the tree will be at the center of the next holiday party: the symbol of a sustainable future.
The new “Thank You” Pencil Pack contains five plantable pencils, each embedded with flower seeds, offering a unique and sustainable way to say thanks that grows over time.
Whether it’s for a favorite teacher, a supportive coworker, or a cherished friend, the “Thank You” edition is a gift that keeps on giving. After the pencil is too short to use, simply plant it in soil and watch a flower grow — literally transforming words of appreciation into a living bouquet.
More than just a gift, the “Thank You” pencils invite mindfulness and reflection. Use them to write a list of things you’re grateful for, start a gratitude journal, or pen a personal note to someone who’s made a difference. When the pencil is finished, it doesn’t end in a drawer or landfill — it begins a new life as a flower.
What’s better than sending flowers to show someone you care? Send pencils that will turn into flowers, including Forget-me-nots, Carnations, Thyme and Sage. The Spread the Love Edition contains 5 eco-friendly, biodegradable, and high-quality Sprout graphite pencils that turn into plants once planted.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
