Top 10 Must-Have Stationery Items for Kids

The right stationery can do wonders for children's creativity and the development of healthy study habits. Whether your child is returning to school or just enjoys drawing and doodling at home, having a well-stocked stationery kit is imperative. Purchasing the appropriate resources as parents can improve study time productivity, organization, and enjoyment.

Let's explore the Top 10 Essential Stationery Items for Kids that are entertaining and useful.

1. Erasable Pens with Colours

Gone are the days of boring black-and-blue pens. Kids love erasable pens because they combine color, creativity, and correction in one! For young writers who want neat notes but make mistakes often, they are ideal. Kids adore the vibrant colors and smooth ink flow of our StarryGlow erasable pens, which are available at Crafty Cuddle.

Why children adore them:

  • Simple to use and accurate
  • Excellent for practicing handwriting
  • Comes in eye-catching, colorful designs.

Give studying a pleasant scent! In addition to making your child's notes more colorful, scented highlighters give learning a more tactile experience. These are ideal for embellishing planners and journals or emphasizing key points.

Benefits:

  • Comes in neon and pastel varieties.
  • Light fruity scents
  • Safe and non-toxic for young children

7. Coloring Supplies: Colored Pencils, Sketch Pens, and Crayons

Without coloring supplies, no stationery list is complete. Having high-quality crayons, colored pencils, and sketch pens is essential, regardless of whether your child prefers freehand sketching or school craft projects. Choose non-toxic, manageable options that are perfect for small hands.

Essentials for every kit:

  • Washable crayons
  • Dual-tip sketch pens
  • Sharpenable color pencils

8. Glue sticks and kid-friendly scissors

Use safe-to-use supplies like non-toxic glue sticks and rounded-tip scissors to encourage your young artist to experiment with do-it-yourself projects. Craft time, school projects, and the development of fine motor skills all require these tools.

Safety advice:

  • Constantly keep an eye on usage
  • Select sizes according to age.
  • Keep caps on and store in a secure location.

9. Engaging Doodle Pads and Notebooks

When their notebooks are engaging, children are more likely to write and draw. Choose covers with inspirational sayings, holographic patterns, or characters. At Crafty Cuddle, we offer notebooks with imaginative unicorn, panda, and space themes.

Make use of them for:

  • Journaling
  • Subject notes
  • Art and doodles
