Everyday Earth Plantable Pencils 8-Pack

Score: 8.5/10 | Sprout pencils turn a school supply into a teaching moment. When the pencil gets too short to use, kids can plant it and grow herbs, flowers, or vegetables. It's sustainability made tangible.

Sprout pencils use FSC-certified sustainably harvested wood with non-toxic, lead-free graphite. The end cap contains a biodegradable seed capsule with various plant varieties (basil, sunflower, forget-me-not, etc.).

The entire product is biodegradable - no plastic, no synthetic materials. Even the packaging uses recycled materials.

Writing quality is good, though the graphite feels slightly different from traditional pencils - a bit softer. The novelty factor genuinely engages kids with the concept of sustainability.

Planting success rate varies - not every pencil stub will germinate, but enough do to make it meaningful.

What I Love: Teaching sustainability through hands-on experience is powerful. The product itself is genuinely non-toxic and biodegradable. Kids actually get excited about "using up" a pencil.

What Could Be Better: Higher cost per pencil (~$1.50 each). The softer graphite may not suit all writing preferences. Planting success isn't guaranteed. Limited variety availability in stores.

For families wanting to integrate sustainability education into daily school life, Sprout pencils make the concept tangible and engaging.
