Pens

When it comes to equipping teachers with the tools they need, pens are an essential item that should not be overlooked. From the classic pen to innovative options like gel pens and erasable pens, there is a wide range of choices to suit every teacher’s preference and writing style. Pens are not only practical for everyday tasks like grading papers and taking notes, but they also allow teachers to bring their creative ideas to life. The smooth flow of ink, the precision of fine tips, and the array of vibrant colors add an extra touch of inspiration to lesson plans, classroom decorations, and student feedback. Whether it’s a sleek and professional pen for formal documentation or a playful and colorful pen for sparking imagination, gifting teachers a selection of quality pens is a thoughtful gesture that can enhance their productivity and ignite their passion for teaching.

When considering the range of pens to gift teachers, it’s hard to ignore the timeless appeal of ballpoint pens.

Gel Pens

It cannot be denied that gel pens will forever be one of the coolest items in all of our school supply collections.  I remember when these little boogers first came out, I think I was in high school at the time?  We used to draw on ourselves with them because they were so cute.  Of course when they first came out they were still fairly standard black and blue, but then came the colors, and then the glitter!!!  Glitter gel pens, scented gel pens or pastel gel pens are all fun varieties of an absolute classic and these legendary pens make every classroom a little more fun for both teacher and student!  Now a days you can literally get hundreds of colors just in the glitter gel pen options!

Gel pens have become known for their smooth and vibrant ink flow, making them a pleasure to write with. Their gel-based ink glides effortlessly on paper, creating crisp lines and enhancing the legibility of notes and assignments. Teachers appreciate the precision and clarity that gel pens offer. Moreover, gel pens are versatile tools that find utility beyond the classroom. Whether it’s journaling, crafting, or personal organization, these pens are a reliable companion for various creative pursuits.

Flair Pens

The popularity of Flair pens among teachers is not without reason.  One other notable advantage is the range of vibrant colors available, allowing teachers to add visual interest and organization to their grading and lesson materials. Whether it’s using different colors to highlight key points or creating visually engaging charts and diagrams, Flair pens provide the flexibility to make classroom materials more engaging and interactive.

Moreover, the ink flow is consistent and reliable, ensuring that every stroke is clear and crisp on paper. This reliability makes Flair pens a trusted tool for grading papers, providing feedback, and creating visually appealing displays in the classroom. With their versatility, durability, and commitment to quality, Flair pens continue to be a teacher favorite.

Erasable Pens

If your class has only just graduated to using pens then you might want to research erasable pens! These can be a great way for your students to build confidence when starting to improve their handwriting and are a fun way to try using pens without any big mistakes!

I remember the original erasable pen options that only came in blue, black and red.  In the past, erasable pens were limited in their effectiveness, often leaving behind faint traces or smudges when erased.  They didn’t actually erase much haha.  The newer versions like the Frixion pens (they also make erasable highlighters and markers!) are much better at erasing.  Are they perfect, no, but they are definitely passable!  Erasable pens have become a practical and enjoyable way for students to embrace the use of pens while learning and growing in their writing skills.
