Pen Heaven’s new kids’ stationery drop blends fun + function for the new term. From the LEGO Locking Yellow Notebook & Gel Pen (£22) to Legami’s Wonderwow Monster Pencil Case (£13) and the pocket‑money Invisible Ink Space Magic Pen (£4), these tactile picks help children write neatly, organise bags and enjoy homework. Build sets by year group below and see the back‑to‑school checklist for stress‑free mornings.
Why tactile stationery helps with school success
When children like how their pens and notebooks look and feel, they use them more—which supports better handwriting, spelling practice, planning and independent organisation. With so much digital time, a fun, well‑chosen pencil case can turn homework and journaling into a habit rather than a battle.

Quick tips to make school mornings smoother
- Pack the night before; pencil case lives in the backpack by the door.
- Keep a spares pouch at home (extra pen, eraser, sharpener) to reload mid‑term.
- Pair a reward chart with journalling using the locking notebook.
- Let children choose one fun item (theme or plush) to increase ownership and care.
