Send your kids back to school writing comfortably with the STABILO EASYergonomics Experts range of pens and pencils. Developed with scientists, teachers and children, the range makes writing easier and more comfortable for children. Newsquest Northwest has joined forces with STABILO to promote this competition. Our lucky readers have the chance to win one of eight ‘Back To School’ goodie packs worth £25 containing pens and pencils from the EASYergonomics Experts range, in this easy to enter giveaway.
Research has shown that holding a pen incorrectly can impair a child’s performance at school and even lead to health problems. To write fluently and easily, children need to hold their pen in a comfortable position, minimising the pressure on their hands. The STABILO EASYergonomics Experts range encourages this through its soft grip zone and ergonomic shape designed appropriately for age and hand size. Available in both right and left-handed versions, children can choose the pen or pencil developed specially for them. But it’s not all practical - the funky design and variety of colours means that they also look great!
