Stubby Pencil Studio was launched in 2006 by Kate Rosenthal, after she realized there was a need for eco-friendly, do-it-yourself stationery products for young children. Her inspiration - twin daughters and the thank you notes she created for them to send to family and friends. The cards were a big hit, treasured by all who received them.

Stubby Pencil Studio offers two lines of eco-friendly cards, printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled stock:

Color 'n Kids™ cards are back to basics with clean, bold illustrations for children to color and practice tracing their letters. They are perfect beginner do-it-yourself card making and feature no cartoon or commercial images.

Wink 'n Curtsy™ notes are custom designed and personalized to order with the child's name, hair color, skin tone and accessory colors. They make thoughtful and eco-responsible gifts for birthdays and baby showers.

In addition to stationery, Stubby Pencil Studio offers unique and earth-friendly art supplies like crayons made from soy – not petroleum; sketchbooks and journals made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper – not virgin trees; pencils made from sustainably harvested wood – not dying forests; and Smencils, gourmet scented pencils made from recycled newspapers. You’ll also find natural play dough, non-toxic toys and wooden craft kits that are made in the USA, and many other fun and creative eco products for children.

Stubby Pencil Studio is located in Portland, Oregon.
