Every homeschooler needs FRIXION ERASABLE RETRACTABLE COLORED PENS stuffed in their stocking!
WHY?
Two simple reasons…
ONE: They’re a colorful addition to your school supply arsenal.
They come in a variety of fun, VIBRANT COLORS but don’t bleed or transfer and are FULLY ERASABLE {see below.} So, you no longer need to sacrifice COLORFUL FUN for the sake of practicality! The seven pack includes what you see in the pictures above and the ten pack adds lime green, orange and a third shade of blue.
TWO: They ACTUALLY work!
My son uses these pens exclusively. He hates the sound of pencil scratching and he makes too many mistakes to use normal pens {that don’t erase} so this is seriously all he uses. He uses them for math problems, writing essays, science notebooking, Bible verse copywork, spelling tests….every time he needs to write something for school, he uses one of these pens. And, like most typical twelve year old boys, he makes a lot of mistakes and tends to be more than a wee bit messy with his handwriting. So, to say he erases a lot would be an understatement. He erases ALL THE TIME and these pens REALLY WORK! They write clean and clear and they erase just as well!
So, if you are searching for a FUN but USEFUL item to stuff in your homeschooler’s stocking, be sure to grab some FRIXION ERASABLE RETRACTABLE COLORED PENS by Pilot!
WARNING: We have tried a handful of knock-off brands but nothing compares to FRIXION ERASABLE RETRACTABLE COLORED PENS by Pilot. The less expensive knock-offs run out of ink sooner, rendering the lower pointless.
Pilot also makes FRIXION ERASABLE STICK PENS that aren’t retractable. They tend to be a little less expensive but we prefer not needing to keep track of caps all the time.
If you’re hesitating to spend decent money on writing utensils for your kids because they tend to misplace pens and pencils frequently, I don’t blame you a wee bit! I strongly suggest a CLIPBOARD WITH STORAGE. These have been a game-changer for us. My son keeps all his pens plus protractor and ruler inside with his assignment list clipped to the front. It has helped keep him much better organized!
Those are awesome! As a homeschooling mom, I would LOVE these for all of my kids. They love using pens but I hate how permanent they are. Great solution!
they look fun. kinda interesting to have erasable pens.
These are great for planners too.
These are great!! I think I will add them to the gift set I am giving the grandkids this year! Thank you for sharing them!!
I’ve never met an erasable pen that really worked. Looking forward to trying these!
These are great gifts for my nieces and nephews! They don’t own one and I bet they would be delighted to use it. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome ideas thank you for sharing.
Who doesn’t love fun, colorful pens! These look great!
I think I want these for myself!
Great gift for children of all ages 🙂
Oh wow I’d like to have some pens like that for myself! Thank You!
Never mind the kids, I want the pens 🙂
I need those in MY stocking!!! I’m a piano teacher and loved colorful pens to write my student’s lessons with. I’m checking them out right now!
I hope you enjoy them like we do!
My niece loves these! I sent her some for her birthday for her journal writing.
Thanks for sharing. Never knew about erasable pens!
They are awesome!
I need this stuff two! It’s crazy how fast they disappear!
These are the best! I totally agree!!
These sound amazing! We are a homeschooling family too, and I hate pens that smear and don’t erase well! I will be getting some of these for my 11 yr olds stocking!
They really are awesome!
What a great list! My daughter will be homeschooling. I will send this to her!
These are great ideas! The more I see of your stuff the more I consider homeschooling lol
Ha ha, Haley! You totally should!
I’ll look for these! I homeschooled my three. The kids would have loved that the pens are erasable. We never found a good quality erasable pen that worked well.
Heck – I’ll pick these up for my boys and they aren’t homeschooled anymore. My youngest has a pen fetish, too – lol. He has quite the assortment.
These are amazing for everyone!
