Product Information
Full details
These Berol Handwriting Pens are designed for young learners to develop foundational writing skills. They offer control for early writers with a durable tip and bold, washable black ink for clear visibility. Their thick, round shape ensures an easy grip for small hands, making handwriting practice more engaging with bright barrel colors. A key benefit is improved letter formation and writing control. One caveat is that the washable ink may not be completely indelible on all surfaces.

FAQs
Are these pens suitable for left-handed children?
Yes, the thick barrel and easy-to-hold shape can benefit all children, including left-handed writers, by promoting a comfortable grip and control.
How do I clean ink off my child's hands or clothes?
The ink is washable. For skin, use soap and water. For clothes, treat stains promptly according to fabric care instructions, typically with a pre-wash and standard laundry cycle.
What age range are these pens best suited for?
These pens are ideal for early learners, typically preschool and early elementary school ages (ages 3-7), who are developing their initial writing skills.
Can adults use these pens for writing?
While designed for children, adults can use them for specific purposes like temporary labeling or artistic sketches where a thick, bold line is desired. However, they are not optimized for adult handwriting.
How many pens are in the tub?
The tub contains 42 Berol Handwriting Pens.
Is the ink permanent?
No, the ink is specifically designed to be washable. This makes cleanup easier but means it is not suitable for permanent records or archival purposes.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing
Ensure the cap has been removed and the pen has not been left uncapped for an extended period. If it still does not write, gently scribble on a test surface to re-engage the ink flow.
Ink smudging excessively
Allow a moment for the ink to dry on the paper before touching. Ensure the paper surface is not overly glossy, which can affect ink drying time.
Tip feels soft or damaged
The tip is designed to be durable, but excessive force can still cause damage. Reduce writing pressure. If the tip is significantly damaged, the pen may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pens require no setup; they are ready to use straight out of the tub. Simply uncap and begin writing. They are compatible with most standard paper types. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Cap Securely: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Storage: Store the pens horizontally or upright (cap up) in a cool, dry place. The tub provides convenient storage.
- Cleaning: If ink gets on surfaces, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For skin, wash with soap and water. The ink is designed to be washable from most fabrics if treated promptly according to garment care instructions.
