where do you get you felt tip pens

[foxy lady]

i am looking to but some good felt tip pens just wondered where is the best place to get them, fed up of getting them from the £ shop and them not lasting 5 mins

[blue bear]

I got neroli ones last time as they don't dry out when tops are left off, got some in smiths get one get one free and some from crafty crocodiles.

[moggy]

I only get ones which say they are 'washable' like Crayola. Been happy with them. Got them from supermarket.

[Rubybubbles]

I use the big ikea chunky ones as they don't get squashed inside:mad: lol!

[funemnx]

I've just bought some Berol ones from Amazon - so far so good :thumbsup:

[loocyloo]

i second the ones from crafty crocodiles, they seem to lasting well!

i've also got some thick chunky ones from whs i think.

we have 2 pen pots in my house... a pot with nice/new/working really well pens, (generally used for schoolies and under strict supervision by LO) and a second pot which are the pens the LO use for general colouring etc, as they get their nibs pushed in/snapped/lids lost etc. this is the pot that the 'old' pens, thats still work go in!

I asked this a couple of months ago

I opted for the Berol broad type in the end. I bought a tub that has 42 (3 of each colour) and they are ALL still going strong.

We even lost a lid for 10 days and pen is still useable.

I.ve been getting tesco's own with a clear lid, not the really thin cheapy ones, they seem to last well and are not expensive either:)

i hate felt tips......ever since my brother ate the insides of them in 1972 and being his big sister i had to drink warm milk with him as advised by the GP (who did a home visit to check him out-you dont get service like that no do you?)

i hate warm milk.....i also hate felt tips.....


and my brother?,,,,,well is 40 years older and still a pain in the :censored:....and he wont still drink warm milk either!!!!!:laughing:

[fluff1975]

I use Berol Broad Tip too. They're expensive but last for AGES - I've spent a small fortune on 'cheap' rubbish pens that don't last 2 mins.

My mum has pens at her house that my two use when they go there. They are the exact same pens that my sister and I used. 24 years ago :eek: Would love to know what make they are, but I'm expecting the company have gone bust from lack of sales!!

[miffy]

I've always used crayons but got fed up of them drying out so bought some from ELC. They are fine but don't wash off hands too easily.

I 3rd this ......

[kel1983]

I've just bought some Berol ones from Amazon - so far so good :thumbsup:

We have been buying these. They last longer than cheap pens and are completely washable.

[Tealady]

Always use Crayola as they are truly washable. I use the chunky ones for LO's and have thin ones for DD and my Schoolie.

They can be expensive but if I'm anywhere and they have them on offer I pick up a pack.

[PixiePetal]

my mindees like my crayola pipsqueaks :thumbsup:

[babs]

Crayola... buy them when they r on offer in supermarket ..:thumbsup:
