Oh wow! When we first saw this pencil case we immediately wanted it for ourselves.

Sometimes one pencil case just won’t cut it. This trio of pouches will make sure everything has a home and will make rummaging in that backpack so much easier. We love the mismatched bold prints and handy loops for attaching them together on a key chain. Great for storing stationery, hand sanitisers and personal hygiene products for older kids.
