Description
This magic UV pen carries a parade of dinosaurs around its cream barrel in the Prehistoric Land design: a striding predator, a horned triceratops, a long-necked plant eater and a plated stegosaurus, drawn in soft greys, teals and browns. The pale blue lid and the small cap at the end of the barrel pick up the same cool shade. Write with the fine white tip and the words stay hidden on the page, then slide the switch on the lid and its little LED light brings them into view. The pen is 12.6cm long, 2.1cm wide and 1.6cm high, so it drops easily into a pencil case.
It is a lovely little tool for secret notes, coded clues for a treasure hunt around the house and diary entries meant for one reader only. Leave a hidden message inside a book, on the back of a drawing or across a page of a notebook, and it waits there until someone knows to shine the light over it. The dinosaur parade makes it a natural pick for anyone with a soft spot for fossils and prehistoric creatures. With its light built in, it is best kept and used indoors in dry rooms.
The body is plastic, with its ink in the barrel and the LED light housed in the lid, and a clip on the lid holds it to a notebook cover or a pocket. The light runs on three LR44 batteries, which are included, so it is ready to use straight away. Give the plastic a wipe with a soft damp cloth when it needs it, keep it away from water, and push the lid firmly back on after writing so the tip does not dry out. For a cheerful small present, pair it with a plain notebook and a first secret message already written inside.
