At what age should kids start using pens at school?
Kids typically start to use pens at school from roughly year 3 or 4 depending on the maturity of their handwriting skills. This is a common transition period, helping to familiarise young students with writing in pen while still using pencil as the main tool.
What is the difference between ballpoint and gel pens for kids?
Ballpoint pens use oil-based ink designed for smoother writing styles, while gel pens use water-based ink that can appear to be brighter glide easier; however, gel pens are more notorious for smudging.
Are pens or pencils better for kids?
Pencils are the best choice for younger kids as they make it easy to erase mistakes, while pens are great for older students who are developing their handwriting skills and confidence.
