What’s the difference between gel pens and ballpoint pens?
The primary difference between gel pens and ballpoint pens is the type of ink they use. Ballpoint pens use an oil-based ink for a thick formula that stays put wherever you write it.

Gel pens, on the other hand, use a water-based ink. This results in a more flowy ink that’s quite smooth. Gel pens also typically come in a wider range of colors and shades than ballpoint pens, with options including neon, glitter, and more!

Are colored pencils or markers better for coloring?
There’s no “better” when it comes to coloring supplies. Both colored pencils and markers can be great artistic mediums, it’s just a matter of choosing what kind of look you prefer! If you’re looking for a “sketchy-er” final result, colored pencils can be a great option. They’re great for shading and more. For more even-looking coloring, markers are a great choice. Opt for permanent markers for an even more professional look!

What are the best pens and pencils for school?
When shopping for school supplies, there are a few staples to look for. It’s a good idea to have a few different options for pencils, including mechanical pencils and #2 pencils for standardized test taking. You should also have a few options for pens, typically with black or blue ink. Colored pens are fun, but they’re not the best for schoolwork.

How do I keep my pens and markers from drying out?
Keeping pens and markers from drying out is simple: put the lid back on every time you use them!
