Cheap Fountain Pens For Primary School Kids

The Varsity also comes in super cool colors, so you can bribe the kids with Purple or Turquoise.

 

But, I might be wary with the colors, as inevitably someone will not get the color they want. Also, you might ask the teachers if they're okay getting schoolwork in purple and turquoise. :)

I personally use Jinhao as my DIY pens. I equip them with stub or flex nibs. I wounder if these kids can deal things like bottled ink.

On mine, I also use to put good old flex Warranted nibs but I don't yet for my daughter ..... I also fill their pens myself ( I don't trust her enough to let her play with my ink bottles : her prefered ink his my Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu )

Yeah, if I have to choose I would also go for branded pens to gift to my Phoenix pre-k students. Platinum Preppy is the best brand among all. I think you should buy these pens.

I'd go with the Varsity -- quite nice writers and there are plenty of fun color options for the students to pick from.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
