While the pungent smell of the Magic Marker might be fine for some, others have kept their noses to the finer things in
life... or at least the finer things in the classroom. Anyone with any scents at all gravitated instantly to Mr. Sketch Pens... scented appropriately to each and every color available. Lemony yellow? Cherry red? Wow! Any good drawing was instantly transformed into a fruit salad. Or at least until black was needed. Who wanted to smell black
licorice, anyway?
Mr. Sketch also made for a good-looking drawing, but that was only after kids were motivated enough to move the deliciously scented markers away from their noses. Luckily, they've always been non-toxic, so a rainbow nose didn't lead directly into a huffing addiction. One mystery remains for Mr. Sketch - one that fans of the brand have tried to figure out for years, make that decades - why is mango's color light blue? Granted, green and orange/peach colors were already taken - and conversely, there just isn't much out there in nature that smells like light blue. Maybe "cotton candy" would be a good scent for light blue. Whatever the reason, Mr. Sketch has been a quality product ready for kids wanting a multi-sensory experience to their art.
