BIC® Xtra-Craze™ Mechanical Pencil

Whether taking a test with its strong, #2 lead or simply doodling, this pencil is perfect for any type of writing!

Even though both of my kids' back to school lists specifically said no mechanical pencils, I still buy them for home! These pencils are bright and colorful and so conveniently. I love not having to sharpen and have dust and pencil shavings through out the house!

BIC® Brite Liner® Erasable Highlighter
The BIC Brite Liner Erasable Highlighter features a highlighter on one end and an erasing ink tip on the other end for fast and easy edits. The florescent yellow ink makes bold, vivid highlights; perfect for the diligent, note-taking student. Available in a three-pack, the BIC Brite Liner Erasable has a SRP of $3.29.
The older the kids get, the more in depth their supply lists become and now we are into the highlighter era. I had no idea there was even such a thing as an erasable highlighter. Where was this when I was in college? This is perfect for the kids who have to highlight text books, larger areas and get carried away and only meant to do a certain section. Now they can quickly erase the highlighted area!

BIC® Cristal® Stylus
The BIC Cristal Stylus gives you the best of both worlds! One end features a lightweight stylus that easily glides across tablet and smartphone screens, providing fingerprint-free precision and control. The other end is an iconic BIC Cristal pen! The BIC Cristal Stylus is available in a black ink two-pack with a SRP of $4.99.
I love sytus pens. So I actually took these for myself for work! Yes the kids use electronics too, but Mommy really loved these pens! They make it so convenient to switch from writing to swiping across screens. No more dirty and finger printed screens!
BIC Atlantis® Ultra Comfort Pen
New to the popular BIC Atlantis pen franchise for 2015 is the BIC Atlantis Ultra Comfort Pen, which features BIC’s exclusive ink system for even smoother ink compared to BIC’s classic ink system.

BIC Urges Parents and Students to MakePledge to “Fight for Your Write”Mission aims to highlight the importance of writing and its benefitsBIC, a leading manufacturer of writing instruments, is continuing its Fight for Your Write mission in 2015, which aims to educate parents and students about the importance of writing.
Writing has numerous benefits for children, including improved cognitive development and fine motor skills.
“Parents play a key role in a child’s development and can act as ambassadors for their right to write,” said Pam Allyn, Fight for Your Write spokesperson, literacy advocate, education expert, author and founder of LitWorld, a global organization that advocates for children’s rights as readers, writers and learners. “BIC’s mission shines a light on the crucial role of writing in our lives, and more importantly, gives parents and schools the tools they need to join our movement.”
Last year, through its partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, a not-for-profit organization with the mission to increase student success by empowering teachers and providing them with classroom resources, BIC provided 100,000 writing tools to children in need in school districts across the country.
In 2015, when consumers visit www.BICFightForYourWrite.com, they are invited to sign a pledge to encourage handwriting. In return for each e-signature, BIC will again donate pens and pencils to students in need across the country.
“We know that writing is an essential tool for learning,” said Susan Lanzarotto, director – stationery marketing, BIC Consumer Products USA. “Through this mission, we’re not only working hard to raise awareness of the benefits of writing but to also provide the tools to succeed through resources on our website, as well as through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org.”
