Best Colorful Gel Pens

Gel pens offer a smooth, semi-opaque ink that glides across the page. Give your kids a colorful way to express themselves with a set of these colorful gel pens. Invented in the 1980s, gel pens, as you might suspect, use gel to carry the pigment and sparkle. Great for transforming construction paper into handmade cards, gel pens write on black and other dark papers with ease.

Fast dry ink

These colorful gel pens retract with the push of a button. Great for decorating cards and envelopes, the 20 pen collection has double the popular colors – pink, red, orange, lime, bright and pure blue. Also included are yellow, green, teal, slate blue, purple, berry, cocoa, and black. The medium size point, 0.7 millimeters, is great for writing and journaling, and since it dries so quickly, you don’t have to worry about spreading your message to the nearby pages.

Erases like a pencil

Delight your children with gel pens in all the colors of the rainbow. The comfort grip pens are refillable so you don’t need to invest in another set of 15. Just refill the colors you need to keep the set complete. The vibrant ink spreads smoothly and comes in medium size. The next-generation thermosensitive ink is a really unique feature – it will actually disappear in heat and then reappear in the cold. We love that these are retractable, too, so there are no lids to lose on these gel pens.

Great for left-handed people

Most inks smear more easily if you’re a left-handed writer, but this ink quickly dries for smudge-free pages and hands. Create works of art, color, and expression with this set of a dozen colorful gel pens. In vivid colors – no pastels – these gel pens have high-tech ink in a stainless steel tip. This combination of liquid and gel ink called EnerGel spreads your art and ideas smoothly across the pages. The gel is contained in professional-looking, medium (0.7 millimeters) pen barrels.

The deep, no-nonsense tones of these S-gel pens add depth and color to your works of art and designs. Four red, four blue, and four black gel pens are perfect for the classroom. When you give kids tools to make creating fun and interesting, they are more likely to stay in touch with their creative energies.
