Metallic / glittery gel pens & paper tray for children

[Goandplay]

I had a lovely pink glittery metallic gel pen that my children love and argue over. I would like to get them some for Christmas but generally find gel pens quite scratchy and hit and miss quality wise. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, wondered if anyone has ever seen something to go in the middle of the table to hold A4 loose leaf paper for drawing. A pile of paper becomes disorderly and looks untidy but they prefer loose paper for drawing and writing. I would like to have something the can have out all the time that also looks nice.

Thanks in advance.

pens

I've had the Scribblicious gel pens from The Works and they were long lasting and not scratchy for my five year old.

As for paper trays, Wilko do a4 storage boxes with lids as well as trays that are open. Have a Google as you'll know what you're looking for (in my kitchen everything has a lid as we're messy eaters!)

Ikea do a nice wooden tray here...

Perfect. Thank you.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of a box file!

Poundland do letter trays (inbox outbox sort of thing) In loads of colours which we keep ours in. They stack on top of each other too so we have a loose paper one and completed one!
