Writing with the Light Up Narwhal Pen

We received a free Swirly World Nutty Narwhal Liquid Light up Pen from Bright Stripes. Opinions are our own.

Andy loves narwhals and also writing. Yesterday we read a story that he had written about the time he fell on some bleachers at a Falmouth Commodores game. He has a knack for writing and making a written story come alive. He can’t tell you a coherent story verbally but when he writes things down they are really good stories.

Bright Stripes

this pen is one of four different varieties that Bright Stripes offers. I chose this one because of Andy’s love for the Narwhal. One of his favorite book series is about a Narwhal and this pen would go along perfectly with that series. Maybe Andy will write a narwhal story with the pen.

Andy's Narwhal Pen

Assembling the pen was very easy. Everything you need is included with the kit. There are some clear beads, plastic bubbles, the narwhal and a jellyfish accessory plus the mineral oil. The packaging also allowed you to stand up the pen to make adding everything inside very simple. Then I made sure I screwed the cap on very tight so it would not leak.

Light Up Pen

Andy did some writing with the pen and declared it his favorite. He’s taking it to school with the explicit instructions that it not become a distraction to the other kids. I mean, it has movement and lights, how would that be distracting? I hope that he doesn’t lose it for that reason. Let’s hope he keeps things under control. It is a really cool pen!

You can pick up this pen directly from Bright Stipes – Swirly World Nutty Narwhal Liquid Light up Pen. The other fun pets include a mer-panda, mer-kitting and a shark.

Protect those Forearms

Forearm Protection

We just had a rotation of knife survival and I also attended a slasher seminar the day after Halloween. All those times working on my knife defenses and no forearm protection. My wrists were killing me. Well, there was a sale happening at the pro shop so I picked up some forearm protectors for the next time we work with knives.
