Eco-Friendly Birthday Invitations and More!

June 15, 2008 By 88 Comments



E-MEALZ EASY AND DELICIOUS DINNER RECIPES

Attention: Giveaway is at the bottom of this post! Contest Closed!

My son is turned four a few weeks ago and as much as I wanted him to have a “green” birthday party and donate stuff…he wasn’t so into that idea. I resisted the request for a birthday party at his favorite place ever, the indoor arcade and mini-golf but then the thought about me not having to cook, clean or entertain and the idea sold itself to me. Actually, pleasing him and seeing him smile and jump for joy was what sealed the deal. I’m a sap. I wanted to at least have some earth friendly invitations and that’s when the Stubby Pencil Company™ found me. Thankfully! They sent me this box full of eco-friendly art supplies and 100% recycled cards and invitations. For a former preschool teacher, I was more excited than my son. The pack included a variety of Color’n Kids interactive note cards. Perfect for the birthday boy because he was able to color his own invitations but also help write the words with traceable letters.

 

Stubby Pencil Studio™ has a wide variety of funky, eco-savvy and completely kid trendy and approved art supplies. My son and I love craft and art projecst and when we are able to sit down with our monkey pencils that are chemical free, natural and practice his name, it makes us both happy!

 

 

 

Kate the founder and owner of the Stubby Pencil Studio™ was so excited about the launch of my new site; she decided to help with a giveaway. One lucky winner will get: “Green to the Letter” stationery kit from Stubby Pencil Studio™ including:
4 packs of Color ‘n Kids cards (winner’s choice of styles)
5 Smencils (winner’s choice of scents)

    We make bird feeders out of empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls. We put two holes in the top and put string through, then cover the roll with peanut butter, roll it in bird seed until the PB is covered and then hang outside for our feathered friends to enjoy!! So it recycles and helps wildlife at the same time!

    ty 4 the contest!

    Instead of coloring on blank paper, my husband and i bring home our old memos/copies from work. That way when they make one little scribble and say “DONE!” i don’t get QUITE so frustrated. Our companies don’t have any real recycling program in place :(

    My son has his 6th birthday next month, and I’m always stressed out by the amount of packaging that gets thrown away after the party. This would at least help that a bit, eh? :)

  • marybeth i.

    We recycle a lot for crafts but also seem to spend a fortune and Micheal’s and AC Moore. I love the fact that there are green craft items out there.

    We try to reduce, re-use- and recycle. Amongst the things we recycle for home use are plastic Water Gallon jugs, milk jugs as these make for nice little disposable water pails.

  • jackie o.

    I dont think we are using any green craft and art projects, but the idea is great. I think i will do more research and make green crafts a part of our girl scout troop meetings. Thanks

    we use recycled products for kid's craft because it is no sense to spend big bucks just for kids to ruin it within 1 minute lol
