Sometimes parents who are getting their child ready for school get lost among the wide range of products available in stores today.

For this reason, we will hasten to share recommendations on choosing a pencil case suitable for a schoolchild - they will, at a minimum, help you narrow down your search.

Form

A pencil case-cosmetic bag is more suitable for high school students, since it does not have a clear shape, which is why all the stationery is in a random order - it will be extremely inconvenient for little ones to navigate inside.

Pencil cases in tubes seem boring for elementary school students – they are chosen mainly by those who attend middle and high school.

For younger students, it is better to purchase transformable pencil cases or folding pencil cases that hold their shape, protect writing instruments from damage and are easy to open and close.

Materials

You can find textile, plastic, metal and wooden pencil cases on sale.

The most unpretentious and practical are plastic models (tube pencil cases and transforming pencil cases). They are waterproof and easy to clean.

Textile pencil cases are lightweight and also easy to clean. The main thing is that the material is fairly dense and has an oilcloth layer inside.

Metal and wooden pencil cases are quite heavy and not very practical.

Filling

The third indicator is the presence of office supplies. There are only two possible options here: there is filling or there is not.

Many parents prefer to buy pencil cases with filling to avoid additional searches for pens, pencils and erasers. However, it is important to pay attention to the quality of stationery, on which manufacturers often save. Consider whether it might be better to buy a pencil case separately and fill it yourself.
