Where did the summer go?! I can’t believe that in less than two weeks school starts up again. I know some schools are already in session but we are just gearing up. I always have mixed feelings about summer ending. It’s hard to say goodbye to lazy mornings, great weather and quality family time but at the same time, it’s nice to get back into a regular routine. Plus, it means we get to buy school supplies! I’ve always loved school supply shopping. Am I weird? There’s just something fun about new pens and notebooks! BIC has a great new line up of products this year with the first and only line of writing instruments designed specifically to help kids learn to write.
My middle child is entering Kindergarten. She’s a lefty. I’m not sure if that really means anything when it comes to writing but for all of my kids, if there’s a product that can help them learn, why not use it to it’s benefit?
BICs new line includes the BIC KidsTM Mechanical Pencil, BIC KidsTM Pen, and the BIC KidsTM Stylus. Other must-have items include the BIC® Comfort, BIC Atlantis® Exact, BIC® Mechanical Pencil Xtra Shine, BIC® Magic Marker® Brand Dry Erase Marker and BIC® Wite-Out® Brand ZAP correction tape.
The BIC Kids line was designed with the help of teacher and other experts in the field to help children with finger placement. The products were designed specifically for kids hands, lefties and righties alike.
- BIC Kids Mechanical Pencil comes in pink or blue, and includes an eraser and lead refill with six leads. Students can also personalize their pencil with stickers. The Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for a one-pack is $3.49.
- BIC Kids Pen is available in purple or green, and includes stickers for personalization. The SRP for a one-pack is $3.49
- BIC Kids Stylus offers an innovative tool for small hands that helps children navigate tablets in the classroom or at home. The stylus has a soft grip and comes in black with a yellow guiding line. The BIC Kids Stylus has a SRP of $3.49 for a one-pack.
One of my all-time favorite back to school products the BIC 4-color pen. It’s been around forever but this year there are options! Choose from the 4-Color Mini, a smaller sized version of the classic which includes 4 ink colors (red, blue, black and green) in one barrel, or the 4-Color Metallic which is available in 5 different metallic barrel colors (silver, turquoise, pink, lime green and purple)
Mechanical pencils are also an old-time favorite of mine and I love the Xtra Shine ones from BIC with shiny holographic designs and bright colors. The suggested retail price for a 5 pack is only $2.20!
BIC® Wite-Out® brand Zap! — I didn’t know people still used this stuff but it was a must-have back when I was in school and most papers were hand-written rather than typed. These are super easy to use and come in a two pack for less than $3.
These are just a few of the many BIC products available for Back to School this year. You can trust that you’ll find affordable, high-quality products from this brand which has been around for more than 50 years! You can find out more at www.bicworld.com.
