Advantages: Good colurs

Disadvantages: Nibs can get dirtly. Lids get lost

I probably first used these pens around fifteen years when I was around five years old. Berol seems to be most schools favourite brand of stationary and for good reason.

These pens provide good strong colour because of their high quality. They appeal to people of all ages being suitable for little ones scribbling to what I use them for, adding colour to some fashion designs.

They are washable so again perfect for children and great for me when I drop them and am left with a bright inky mark that bleeds!

They don't last very long with out the lid on so it's always worthwhile to make sure the lid is on properly. Again suitable for the little ones by having a hole in it so it's less of a chocking hazard.

The size of the nib is a great size for colouring in and will be not good for finer detail. Again back to little ones the pen is a nice size and will fit well in their hands.

Overall I think these are great. If you see them in the shops they can be quite expensive. Around £7 for a pack of 12 if I remember correctly (In WHSMITHS) but you can deffinatly get them cheaper on ebay which is where I got mine.

The only negative about these is you can't 'mix' colours with them. Going over a colour in a new pen makes the nib dirty and ruins your colours. I'd also like them to be water soluble so they could be washed into but there are opther more expensive pens which can be used for this.

Summary: Buy from ebay
