aim of National Stationery Week (25 April-1 May) is to encourage all of us, especially children, to take the time to put pen to paper, rather than just send another email. Kids love stationery, and we think that if they have a pencil case they really like, that can help keep the passion for handwriting alive – and the tools they do it with protected. We’ve found a range of practical but covetable cases for kids of all ages, some come ready-filled with pens and pencils, others they can pack with their own stuff. </p> <p>1. <strong>Fourth Wall Brands Milo Double Filled Pencil Case: </strong>£13, John Lewis</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4377711:sdl_editor_representation --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170430092222im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/04/22/14/fourthwall-brands.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="fourthwall-brands.jpg" title="fourthwall-brands.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4377711 --></div></div> <p>Featuring Milo, a little black cat, this fun case with two compartments comes handily filled with stationery. In the top pouch, they’ll get a rubber, ruler and sharpener, as well as a biro and notebook. Then, in the other, there are 14 felt-tip pens. Like the Smiggle case, it all zips up to keep their precious stationery safe – and kids will like the little Milo charm included. </p> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170430092222/http://www.johnlewis.com/fourth-wall-brands-milo-double-filled-pencil-case/p2302442#media-overlay_show" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy now</a></strong></p> <p>2. <strong>House of Holland Chunky PVC Pencil Case:</strong> £7.99, Amazon </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=4377716:sdl_editor_representation --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170430092222im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/04/22/14/house-of-holland-chunky.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="house-of-holland-chunky.jpg" title="house-of-holland-chunky.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=4377716 --></div></div> <p>One for fashion-conscious teens, this transparent case with embossed letters from cool British label House of Holland has an eye-catching chunky zip in a contrasting colour.
