A pencil case is a must-have for any student - you can't set a foot in school without it. Whether it's a prim and proper first-year pencil case or something for an older student, you have to choose them with care and attention. Are you interested in learning more? Read on.
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.

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.
