Pens for Children
Pens for school and home: ballpoints, gel pens, rollerballs, fountain pens, erasable pens and pens in fun shapes.
The pen decides how writing feels
A pen that skips or drags makes handwriting harder than it needs to be, especially for a child still forming letters. A smooth rollerball or gel pen takes far less pressure, which helps a tired hand keep going. Getting to choose their own pen also makes a child considerably keener to use it.
Which type for what
Ballpoints are the everyday workhorse: cheap, reliable and fine on any paper. Gel pens give the strongest colour and are the ones used for cards and decorating. Erasable pens are increasingly asked for at school, so it is worth checking what your child's teacher expects.
