Back-To-School With BIC®

Back-to-school has arrived and it’s time to hit the stores and stock up on a few much-needed supplies. Just because we homeschool, doesn’t mean that we don’t back-to-school shop. We seems to go through tons of school supplies by the end of the year. We have already started back-to-school shopping and love looking for the new BIC® products. This year line-up was just as impressive as always.

This year’s list of must-haves include the brand new BIC® Xtra-Fun pencil, the only #2 pencil with two-toned color barrels. Other items on the list include the BIC® Xtra-Craze Mechanical Pencil, BIC® Brite Liner® Erasable Highlighter, BIC® Cristal® Stylus and the BIC Atlantais® Ultra Comfort pen.

What We Thought:

We thought this entire list was fantastic, but ofcourse we had our favorites. Mine are the BIC Atlantis Ultra Comfort Pen and the Brite Liner® Erasable Highlighter. The Atlantis pen writes extremely smooth and is very comfortable to hold and the erasable highlighters make my life so much easier while reading through school work. The pencils were winners with my boys this year. They are all about the funky bright colors and BIC delivered with both pencil styles.
