Getting started: Pencil case or pouch?
The fundamental difference between a pencil case and a pouch lies in the internal arrangement. The school pencil case has all the writing supplies neatly arranged in elastic holders, while the pouch is literally just a pouch - pencils, pens and the rest are put together with no further organisation.
The choice depends on your kid's age and needs:
Pencil cases are particularly suitable for elementary school pupils.
Pencil pouches are used primarily by older children and high-school students.

Choosing a pencil case for a first-grader
Starting school can be tough, so try to make it easier. Get your child a pencil case with a simple design and good internal arrangement. We recommend buying an empty case and then purchasing the writing and drawing supplies additionally depending on the school requirements. Leave it to you kid to choose the visual appearance of the case, however. He or she are going to use it for a while, so it's important that they actually like it.
A pencil case can have several layers
There are so many pencil cases available that choosing the right one can be a real challenge. The most important factors are the age of the child and what schools supplies he or she needs. What are your options?
A simple one-layer pencil case is especially suitable for children just entering school.
A two-layer pencil case will be appreciated by older schoolchildren who use many writing supplies.
A large three-layer pencil case is ideal for children who want to have all their supplies in one place.
Pros
Plenty of space
Have all your writing and drawing supplies in one place
A practical clear pocket for the class schedule
Can be purchased with or without supplies
Cons
Relatively heavy
Larger dimensions

Do you have a child who likes to draw often? Get them a separate case for crayons or markers.
When to choose a three-layer pencil case
One layer, two layers… As the child grows, they will inevitably reach the point when a three-layer case will become the best option. Thick and spacious, most school kids tend to demand these for at least a few years of their schooling. And let's be honest, the older kids know best what their pencil case should look like.
A three-layer case is remarkably practical
Practically-minded kids like to have all their stuff in one place and will be happy that they don't have to juggle another extra case with crayons and other supplies.
Buying a case for a girl who's into stylish accessories? Don't fall into the pink trap!
Girls often like their bags and pencil cases to have some style, and a three-layer pencil case can be just that. There's more to girl's fashion accessories than the pink colour, however. Take a look at our product selection if you need some inspiration.
With writing supplies or without?
Kids like to have their three-layer pencil cases packed with pencils, crayons and other colourful supplies. However, children prefer to choose their school supplies themselves, so you should ask their opinion before buying anything.
