Create a Smelly Good Project with Mr. Sketch Scented Markers

If your children are anything like mine, they love to color and create things. My kids love to use their imagination and create colorful images, and crafts. One of the greatest things in life, is the pleasure of creating something; so there is no wonder why kids love to create. Sometimes crayons are a creative mind's weapon of choice to create, and in other cases makers are. My little girl loves markers, and rather color with markers then crayons.

Just recently my kids and I received a ten pack of Mr. Sketch Scented Markers to review. They were so excited to try these scented bold colors, they didn't know what to do with themselves. I was happy that the markers were washable easy to use, and had 3 different line widths for each marker. If you are an artist like me the different line widths are a great bonus.

The ten pack of Mr. Sketch Scented Markers comes with the following scents and colors; Pink (watermelon), red (cherry), orange (orange), yellow (banana), green (mint), blue (fruit punch), dark blue (blueberry), purple (grape), brown (cinnamon), and black (licorice). From my opinion I think all of the scents are spot on, they really do smell like what they are meant to represent. Although, the scents to each color are stated on the package of the markers, I wish that they stated the name and color of each scent and color on the marker itself. This would make it more helpful to identify the markers and help children identify scents with a description. This could also act as a learning tool to develop children's senses, besides being a fun tool to create with.

The scented markers do add more fun and excitement to creating, designing, and coloring. My kids love using these markers to create smelly good crafts for holidays, and special occasions. When using these markers you have to be careful, they do bleed through paper. If you use too much in one spot the paper will get to wet and rip, the good thing is that they are washable. I do not recommend these makers to use within coloring books. The paper in traditional coloring books is rather thin and these markers will bleed through, and rip holes when coloring on the paper. I recommend using these markers on thicker paper, for outlines, writing, and on cardboard.

As a calligraphy artist I decided to test these markers out to create some simple letters. The different widths work great when creating different widths within letters of different hands. I still have some more perfecting to do with these markers before I can master some calligraphy hands with them. But, so far they are easy to use, fun, and smell great.
