BIC Stationery: Stocking Fillers for Kids and Adults

BIC has been a household name for as long as I can remember. A company with origins in France, it has grown to be the huge international brand that it is today. BIC offers everything from children’s colouring crayons, pencils and felt pens to superior quality fine colouring equipment for adults. For this review, I have singled out ‘something for everyone’ from the vast BIC range, to give some gift ideas this Christmas.

BIC Kids 80 Piece Colouring Activity Set

There’s hours of fun to be had with this activity set. It is Alvin & The Chipmunks themed; there are chipmunk character colouring pages and activities contained within the carry case. But this set it all about the stationery. To break down what can be found inside this BIC Kids activity pack:

18 x Tropicolors® Easy to Sharpen Colouring Pencils
18 x Plastidecor® Extra Clean Colouring Crayons
12 x Kid Couleur Ultra Washable Colouring Felt Pens
12 x Magic Felt Pens with Magic Effects
1 x Ecolutions® Washable Glue Stick

BIC Kids Kid Couleur Colouring Pens and BIC Kids Evolution Colouring Pencils

As a parent to children aged 8 and 10, I’ve bought a lot of colouring pens, pencils and crayons over the years. I have often been disappointed in my purchases – pencils are too feint that you can’t see what you’ve coloured, lead keeps snapping (even during the sharpening process). The felt nibs split or the lids don’t stay on (so they fall off easily and the pens dry out). However, I cannot fault BIC Kids pencils or felt pens. They are comfortable to use, durable, and produce vibrant colours.

BIC Kids Evolution Colouring Pencils – Multi-Coloured, Pack of 12 are wood-free, with a layer of chew-resistant varnish to stop flaking. They are suitable for ages 5 and above and are available in packs of 12.

BIC Kids Couleur Felt Tip Pens with Medium Nib – Assorted Colours, Pack of 12 contain water-based ink that easily washes off skin and clothes. As before they are suitable from the age of 5, and are available in packs of 12.

BIC Conte Colouring Pencils and Felt Pens

For the older, more serious, artist in your family, the Conte range is perfect for them. These are high quality art instruments that allow for precision use. The BIC Conte Colouring Pencils – Multi-Coloured, Tin of 12 are wood-free, and their synthetic resin design makes them completely splinter free should they break.

The BIC Conte Colouring Felt Pens – Multi-Coloured, Tin of 20 are water-based, so are completely washable. The pens won’t dry out – they can be without their lid on for up to 3 months!

This range is perfect for an adult who likes to dabble in art or enjoys the multitude of colouring books available today. A serious art student would appreciate these too.

I think you must agree that there’s definitely something for everyone from the BIC stationery range this Christmas 🙂
