School starts in just 3 weeks, so you can imagine how eager I was to get my son’s school supply list to finish up our shopping. His list this year is still relatively manageable and includes the basics you might expect such as crayons, colored pencils, markers, scissors, pencils, and glue. But in addition to those supplies, I always purchase a second set plus some extra items to place in his homework station. I’ve found that dedicating a specific area organized with homework essentials helps keep him on-track and focused on the tasks he needs to complete each school night.
Admittedly, homework is a struggle, particularly for a little boy who would rather ride his bike, use his imagination to build with his LEGOS, or simply run around at the park. Because he is a relatively smart little boy, he wants to race through his homework and I find myself constantly working to slow him down so that his work is neat and legible. Homework time involves a lot of erasing, so the two of us were super excited to check out the new Pilot FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Pens, now available at Walmart. It feels like it’s been AGES since I’ve used an erasable pen, and I’m very impressed with the improvements that have been made.
While some of my son’s homework must be in pencil, I find that in general he prefers to use a pen and his work clearer and more legible in ink. With Pilot’s FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Pens, we don’t have to worry about mistakes because the ink erases completely! Available in 8 exciting colors (including turquoise, purple, pink and green), these erasable gel pens write smoothly and don’t require a lot of effort when it comes to erasing mistakes.
The technology behind these pens is actually interesting. When you rub the erasing tip across the paper, it create a small amount of heat which causes the writing to disappear from the page without smearing or tearing the paper. And if you get as annoyed about eraser shavings as I do, you’ll be happy to learn that these pens leave zero trace of their erasing capabilities!
One thing I should note is that my daughter has a very heavy hand, so while the ink completely erased when she used these pens, I could still see the indentation in the page from where she had circled the pictures in her workbook.
Not only are Pilot’s FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Pens a brilliant home/schoolwork solution, they’re perfect for grocery lists, calendars/planners, notes, and more. A 7-pack of erasable gel pens retails for $16.44 and is available at your local Walmart or online at Walmart.com.
