Ballpoint Pens
Ballpoint pens for children: pens in colours, retractable pens, pens with a grip, gel pens and multi-colour pens.
The pen that is always in the bag
A ballpoint writes on almost anything, does not need care and survives being left in a school bag for a term. That reliability is why it is the pen children actually use. Coloured and gel pens make notes and homework something to look at.
What to look for
A rubber grip section makes a real difference to a hand that writes for an hour. Retractable pens have no cap to lose, which is the usual reason a pen dries out. A multi-colour pen is popular with children who like to underline and mark up everything.
