The Evolution of Scentos and Teachers + A Giveaway!!!!!

Friends!!!
Remember back in March of 2012 when I found THE most adorable markers EVA in the world?!?! I just happened to stumble across them at Dollar Tree and I bought up all they had!!!! I was obsessed with these fabulous little markers and emailed the company to see where I could find MORE!!!! You can check out my very first post ever about those markers HERE!!!

Here is the email I sent:

Here's the email they sent me back:


Ummmm....yes!!! Those WERE Scentos Markers!!!!! They sent me a box of Scentos goodies, I had a giveaway (You can read about it here) and shared some with some of my bloggy friends:

Yep, that's Deedee in the picture. She then, also did a review on Scentos and so did my friend Kathleen from Growing Kinders. Then, it just kind of spiraled OUT. OF. CONTROL!!!!!! My Scentos posts became viral and teachers EVERYWHERE were wanting those adorable markers of their VERY OWN!!!! :)

I STILL use Scentos EVERY SINGLE day in my classroom!!!! I LOVE them and so do my Kiddos!! Here is a picture of my #Scentosstache (as my friend, Greg from Kindergarten Smorgasboard would call it!) :)

I had to share this pic with you all!!! I was taking pictures to prepare for this blog post. It was the last day of school (no kids) we were all cleaning out our rooms. I was one of the last ones there and closed my door to take some pics for this post. I was laying on the floor in the middle of my Scentos when my principal flung the door open!!!!! He said "were you just taking a selfie?????" Ha!!!!!!!!! I was slightly embarrassed!!! LOL!!! The things we do for our blogs :)


Last, but not least, is my little Scentos display!!! I LOVE it!!! My husband is a machinist and I told him exactly what I wanted for my Scentos and he whipped this up! These markers were NOT meant to sit in a drawer somewhere!!!!! They are WAAAAAAAY too cute for that!!! :)

Want one of these for your very own???? I'm going to make my husband  ask my husband really nicely to make one for a lucky person!!! :) Yes, he WILL personalize it just for you :)

  2. In my classroom, we call them "monster drool" :) because the creatures on the body look like cute little monsters. If you've had a good day, you can pick your favorite scent, and I draw a monster drool-face on your hand as you're walking out the door:) They love it! I also love to grade with them occasionally.

  7. My Firsties love Scentos almost as much as I do. In fact, the day after a student returned from an absence, her first question about what we did the previous day was "What color was the marker of the day?"

  8. Oh boy my children go crazy over them. I homeschool them and they are the markers they always want to use but our $ store always run out... I d love to win. thank you

  9. I buy them every time I see them. My collection nearly rivals yours. My kids especially like the erasers. They are perfect for little hands and most lasted the entire year.

  11. I have never used these but would love to try them!

  12. Is it crazy that I have yet to buy one?! I almost did last year at BTS time, but I think I was afraid my 3rd graders would constantly be sniffing their papers or the markers themselves if I let them use them?! What are your thoughts on this? I don't want my kiddos getting "high" on markers!

  15. My favorite Scentos memory this past year is that every Friday at dismissal time, my Kinders had me draw a heart, flower, lightning bolt, etc. with "the smelly markers" so they could smell them on the bus ride home. :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am a Scentos collector also! I love your display rack that your husband made! All mine sit standing up in an old baby wipes container on my desk. This would add some bling! I have so many I would need to switch them often - more fun!

  36. I too love Scentos and use them everyday! This may sound a little strange, but they are like legal crack! Not that I sniff them that much, I just mean my kiddos beg me to put a star on their papers with them everyday, they just can't get enough. They get so excited with their smelly stars that you would think I gave them a present...lol. That holder is too cute! Love it! Your husband rocks!
