School supplies for Pre-school and Key Stage 1

The beginning of another school year is just around the corner. If you want it to begin as smoothly as possible, it is best to make two lists, one with the material they ask for at school and another one with the material you already have from last year and that maybe you can reuse. Once this is done, you should hurry to take advantage of offers and promotions these days. After holidays, it never hurts to save a few pounds. If your little one is at pre-school or Key Stage 1, that is, if they are between 4 and 7 years old, in Webcartridge you will find all the school supplies you need with discounts of up to 10%.

School supplies for the back-to-school for Pre-school and Key Stage 1

Key Stage 1 focuses on fostering creativity and the physical, emotional and sensory development of children. For this reason, in this educational stage, handicrafts are worked a lot. Using plasticine, crayons or tempera, colouring, cutting and pasting, they learn to express themselves, communicate their ideas, absorb new concepts and develop their motor skills. 

The lists that schools prepare with the necessary material for pre-school courses always include pencils, erasers, glues, round-tipped scissors, markers, coloured pencils, soft crayons, and envelope folders to store papers and brushes, among many other things. Sometimes, the lists that are provided are so long that it overwhelms you, but don't worry, because here we have it all at the best price to make things easy and cheap for you. 

What material is essential for pre-school and key stage 1? 

In the early stages of learning, children need thick pencils and resistant tips, as it is still difficult for them to hold them with ease, they also might not control the pressure they exert on the paper and can break the tips easily. That is why the most suitable are Jumbo-type pencils, which are large and have a triangular shape, such as the Staedtler Noris Jumbo, highly recommended for those who begin to learn to write. 

Coloured pencils are another must-have for pre-school. At Webcartridge, you will find a wide variety, such as the Milan 213 Big or the Alpino (with a hexagonal shape that facilitates grip and is very resistant to breaking), the Faber-Castell colours with a non-slip grip to facilitate grip, or the Milan watercolour pencils (soft, resistant and water-soluble). 

We continue with thick markers such as the washable Faber-Castell Felt Tip Jumbo, with a hexagonal shape and wide and resistant tip, or the Maxi Magic 643 from Milan, highly recommended for children from 3 years old. You will also need crayons and other materials such as finger paints, play dough or watercolours. And, of course, erasers, pencil sharpeners, glue sticks, round-tipped school scissors and folders.
