Kutsuwa Pencil Caps

I always like to have a nice sharp point on my pencil, but this causes problems when carrying it around. So how do you protect the point of the pencil and stop it from breaking when it is in your pocket, a pencil case, rucksack, or even at your desk and not in use?

The 10 Best Pencil Extenders

The Blackwing 602 pencil and the Caran d’Ache Swiss Wood pencil are amongst the finest wooden pencils that there is. However, this quality comes at a premium price tag and you want to get the maximum use from them. Artists use lots of colored pencils and also want them to last as long as possible.

The 10 Best Pens for Children

At a lot of junior schools especially in the UK when children first learn to write they have to use a pencil until they can form the letters properly and then they are awarded a pen license and can start using a pen for the first time.

A good pen for children needs to be comfortable for their small hands, be designed to encourage proper finger placement and hold and be fun to look at and use. If they are left-handed the pen needs to have quick-drying ink to prevent smudging.
