With Lamy's help, children learn to write systematically. First step is the LAMY abc Beginner's Pencil. Then comes the LAMY abc Beginner's Fountain Pen using ink. Both instruments were designed for children, from an ergonomic as well as an pedagogical point of view. This makes writing both easy and fun. The LAMY abc beginner's pencil was developed in cooperation with educational experts for the first steps in learning to write. The special design to meet the needs of children and the ergonomically shaped grip assist natural, relaxed positioning of the fingers. Made of maple wood, tip and cube of red plastic. With a non-slip, rubberised plastic grip. With name sticker. The pencil's 1.4-mm-thick replaceable HB Lamy refill is virtually unbreakable and because it requires only slight pressure to write encourages a relaxed grip.
