How to Choose Right Stationery for an Art Student

Every year, parents of schoolchildren expect the same chores: you need to spend time and effort looking for school uniforms, sportswear, shoes and, of course, stationery. At the same time, you should correctly calculate the budget in order to purchase a really high-quality, practical and, most importantly, safe product at an affordable price.

Online stationery stores help manage stress by inviting shoppers to browse the assortment in a relaxed home environment and pay the bill without leaving their home. If necessary, the courier will deliver the order to the very doorstep. The only thing left to do is to choose the right school supplies for your child.

How to make the right choice?
Consider the criteria for choosing the most popular things that are required by every student.

Satchel or backpack
The knapsack should be roomy, that's a fact. At the same time, it should be equipped with straps to distribute the weight evenly over the back and relieve the shoulder girdle. Foam straps soften the pressure, and the ergonomic shape of the backpack makes it comfortable to use.

The material from which the knapsack is made must be waterproof, easily wiped off from dust and dirt. To make the student easily distinguishable in the headlights in winter twilight, many backpacks are equipped with stripes made of reflective fabric.

Make sure that the briefcase is not too large in the shoulders or in height - a discrepancy in size is fraught with a curvature of the spinal column.

Notebooks
The first thing you pay attention to when buying exercise books is the density of the paper. If it is not high enough, the quality of the writing on the back of the paper will suffer. Do not buy notebooks with pages that are too snow-white - this will tire the eyes of children. Prefer a creamy shade or a color with a little blueness.

Pens, pencils and markers
For maximum writing comfort, opt for lightweight pens with a rubberized grip and a good writing, oily refill. Do not buy handles that are too thick or slippery with a sharply defined corrugated surface.

For school drawing lessons, a simple pencil of medium hardness of a triangular shape is useful. A cedar pencil lends itself best to sharpening. If you have a regular pencil sharpener, your child can sharpen it on their own.

When buying markers or brushes guts.pk/shop/category/art-supplies/brushes/, make sure they don't squeak and can be hand-washed well. Perforated caps improve ventilation and prevent the pen from drying out prematurely.

Pencil case
A pencil case made of soft materials, unlike a product made of fragile plastic, will not break when dropped and will not scatter into fragments that can injure a neighbor on a desk. Loop holders for pencils guts.pk/shop/category/art-supplies/pencils/ and pens prevent them from banging against each other and rattling, besides, it is easier to choose separate objects from the bulk.

Tips for parents
No matter how much you want to save money, listen to common sense and do not buy too cheap, frankly low-quality goods. When buying, carefully look not only at the cost, but also at the stationery manufacturer.

Well-known brands value their reputation, so it is almost impossible to find a product of a famous brand that is defective or does not meet international sanitary and hygienic requirements. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about the Chinese one-day firms, which do not care at all about the quality of the goods or the health of the buyer.

Elementary students love to nibble on the tip of a pencil or pen, sniff, lick, or even bite a candy-fruit eraser. To avoid poisoning, ask the seller for a certificate confirming the absence of toxic substances in the material. Check the expiration date of ballpoint refills and felt-tip pens to avoid purchasing stale goods.
