Fun Writing Tools

I love to window shop for writing tools, booklets, folders, pens, etc. This is the best time of year since the major stores have big back-to-school sales that will be ending soon.

Even if you don’t have students who need materials, I suggest you think of these ‘new’ tools as a way to encourage your entire family to write. Plan ahead. Use the sales to buy birthday or holidays writing tools now and tuck them away for later. Here are a few of the ‘new’ colorful items I’ve seen for 2018.

* folders with current movie scenes as covers

* glittery and multi-priced, colorful composition books

* neon erasers and ones that are scented

* tape dispensers with colored plastic holders and stickers

*colorful and designed rulers and scissors

*primary-specific materials (journals, pencils and colored markers) for beginning writers and artists
