Here is Why You Should Choose Paper Pencils over Wooden Pencils

Ever wondered what you could do for the environment?

Does using eco-friendly toys or stationery make a difference? Do such thoughts cross your mind?

We are sure they do and we also understand how these thoughts get lost while you are occupied with getting your kids the best of all worlds. Did you know wooden pencil manufacturing is also a reason for cutting down trees and deforestation? Over one lakh trees are cut in India every year just to make wooden pencils. With World Environment Day just around the corner (June 5), it is a good time to make your kids familiar with the importance of taking care of our environment. And that’s not just it, it is also a chance to make a difference - with Skoodle Paper Pencils. Made from 100% recycled paper, these are eco-friendly pencils that are wood free, beneficial for the environment and more fun than the regular wooden pencils.

Let’s run you through what paper pencils are and why they are a better choice than wooden pencils:

  •        These are recycled paper pencils that are made from 100% recycled paper. Totally wood free.
  •        No trees are harmed to make these eco-friendly pencils. This means no cutting of trees and reducing deforestation
  •        Free from any kind of toxic chemicals/ polymers/ plastic, these are safe for kids.
  •        Round in shape they are more comfortable for writing for longer times. They get their round shape because of the manufacturing process where the recycled paper is wrapped tightly around the graphite
  •        They come in different types, colours, patterns and designs such as recycled newspaper paper pencils, coloured paper pencils and silver paper pencils.
  •        They do not break when you sharpen them. Paper pencils are strong and as good as wooden pencils.

Pencils are kids’ first tool for expressing creativity and learning. Children aren’t satisfied with one but love different kinds of pencils. If you thought eco-friendly pencils do not look good, we are busting that myth right away. With Skoodle recycled paper pencils you can choose from:
