"Ah, that's how they're made! I remember making pinwheels like this when I was a kid but I couldn't remember how to attach the pinwheel to the pencil. I did remember using a pencil, though! So I am going to have to make a few for the 4th of July. Is there a way to make them so they would be safe for kids to play with?"

"These are definitely funky and fun flip-flops! And they look like they would be fun to make, too. I bet my granddaughters would get a kick out of these, or something like them, anyway. Since she used a bandanna, I think any cotton or cotton fabric would do just as well as long as it isn't too limp."

"I totally love this idea. It is an excellent way for me to display some of the wonderful messages from t-shirt graphics out there. I love a lot of these messages but feel like I'm getting to an age where they aren't what I want to wear. Carrying bags with funny or meaningful quips is a lot more desirable to me."

"That would make a great Christmas gift, too, and not just for Mom! I have two daughters, a daughter in law and two granddaughers (the ones old enough) who would appreciate this. You just made Christmas a little bit easier for me this year. And I will make some for myself, of course."

"The link takes you to the "home page" of the blog, but I couldn't find the colored glitter pencils on the site. I looked for awhile but gave up. It's either a bad link or the page isn't there any longer. I thought the granddaughters would enjoy these pencils but I may never know! )"

I was just recently watching my five-year-old color with a highlighter. I was noticing how she was holding it with her pointer finger and middle finger on top of the highlighter whereas I hold it in between those two fingers. It amazes me how people can write so differently, but one thing we can have in common is how messy we can get with highlighters. Specifically kids, when trying to pull the caps off or putting them back on, they end up getting the color all over themselves instead. With the OOLY Retractable Highlighter Pens this isn't an issue; highlighting and coloring is made easier and mess-free with these pens.

Within this set are 6 neon colored highlighters encased in a retractable click barrel. Instead of popping the top, you just have to click to highlight and click again to put it away. These pens are great for both kids and adults as you can highlight important notes at work or in textbooks and the kids can simply color or even use them for word search puzzles. What the kids will absolutely love about these is that they're scented! Sweet scents of strawberry, orange, banana, melon, blueberry and grape will arise when in use. Unlike the strong smell of Sharpies, these OOLY highlighters are delightful.

Just like any good highlighter, these have a felt chisel tip so your highlights are sure to cover everything you need. Because these are meant for ages 6 and up, we know they may not necessarily be meant for highlighting, but for designing. The 6 fun colors are sure to make anything pop. It's great on notebooks, paper, calendars, planners and more.
