When I was young, I loved playing school and coloring as a
lot of little girls do. I also loved markers, just not any markers but Mr.
Sketch markers. I am sure if the name
Mr. Sketch doesn’t ring a bell the words scented markers will. I remember being
so excited the first time I was able to get my very own set of Mr. Sketch
markers. Those were the it thing back then.
I would smell them more than I would use them it seemed because they smelled
so good. They were thankfully save for
me to do so, not like Sharpies that would make you feel light headed if you
weren’t in a well ventilated area. I remember coloring with them with my friends
and how cool they were. I knew they were
still around as I had seen them at stores. I almost bought some a number of
times, but I decided not to. We went to Office Depot today and there they were
calling my name. I saw that they were on sale for five dollars, when they are
normally ten dollars. I loved the markers but I wasn’t going to pay ten dollars
for them. I didn’t love them that much. So, I bought some. I think I bought
them a while back too, because I remember finding them but they could just be
really old markers. There were only two of them that I found so I think they
were tucked away in a box somewhere through the years.
So I am the very proud owner of twelve Mr. Sketch
markers. Noah was amazed by them and
tried very hard to get me to give them to him. I will let him use them closely
supervised as markers and almost 6 year olds should be. I am not sure he knows that they are scented
I mentioned it and he asked if he could smell but I am excited to see his
little face light up at the different scents.
Don’t ask me what my favorite scent is because I love a lot of them.
Watermelon, Cherry, Blueberry, Licorice, and so on are all awesome. I love
sharing things from my childhood with my son. I think it makes it even more
special for both of us.
Did you have scented markers as a kid? What was your
favorite scent?
