BACK TO SCHOOL: ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR SCHOOLBAG

 
For schoolchildren, this time of year is synonymous with new adventures. They need to be ready to get the most out of their year. Here is a list of essential backpack supplies from Caran d'Ache:
 
• Four graphite pencils with erasers for underlining the important parts in a textbook, bubbling in test answers or doodling in the margins.
 
• A school eraser for erasing and starting over.
 
• A double pencil sharpener for making a sharp point.
 
• Two blue-ink 825 ballpoint pens for filling the pages of a notebook.
 
• A classic tin of 18 Swisscolor watercolour pencils for illustrating concepts from class.
 
• A classic tin of 15 Fibralo® water-soluble felt-tipped pens for playing with watercolour effects.
 
• An easy-to-transport case of 8 Gouache Studio paint tablets for mixing any hue imaginable.
 
• A tin of 15 Neocolor® II watercolour wax pastels for blending shades, textures and styles of application with a finger or brush.
 
And don’t forget the standard pencil cases, diaries and notebooks to complete the back-to-school supply list.

Swisscolor: the coloured pencils preferred by schoolchildren

 
Swisscolor coloured pencils are perfect for your child's first day at school. The pencils come in permanent or watercolour versions, in sets of 12, 18, 30 or 40 colours. Their metal storage box pays homage to Switzerland. Each pencil is made with unique expertise honed in the Geneva workshops of Caran d'Ache. Offer your child quality and the chance to explore the limits of their imaginations.

A SELECTION OF STATIONERY AND SUPPLIES TO GET YOU BACK IN THE OFFICE

 
Back to school isn't just for kids. It's also the time to refresh your office supplies.
Here are the essential items to keep at the ready in your desk drawer or work bag:

• Pens. In ballpoint, rollerball or fountain versions, each pen suits different writing styles and needs. A box of ten 849 Classic Line ballpoint pens, for example, is ideal for the office.

• A notebook. For taking notes and keeping organised, choose a notebook with sturdy pages and a solid binding, like the Colormat-X. This metallic-finish hardcover notebook comes in black and 8 bright colours.

• Ink cartridges and refills. Most Caran d'Ache writing instruments are refillable, to be used over and over again.
