Description
This dinosaur pencil case wears the Prehistoric Land print: a tidy grid of panels in yellow, green, grey and pale blue, each framing one creature with its name lettered above it in bold capitals. Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Corythosaurus, Pterodactylus and Dimetrodon all appear, drawn in a vintage field guide style that feels like a page from an old natural history book. A pale blue zip runs along the top, and the case measures 21cm long, 6cm wide and 9cm high. It is made from oilcloth, cotton, metal and plastic, and weighs just 0.04KG.
We think it earns its place wherever pencils tend to wander: the school bag, the homework table, the art box or the kitchen drawer where pens and rubbers seem to vanish. Slim and light, it slips easily into a backpack or a tote, and the long shape keeps pencils, pens, a rubber and a sharpener lined up rather than jumbled at the bottom of a bag. The labelled panels give it a little learning value too, since every dinosaur carries its proper name, so project work and homework come with a few long words to sound out. It also makes a cheerful small gift that is easy to wrap and easy to fill.
The oilcloth gives it a wipe-clean finish, which suits life in a busy school bag. To care for it, we suggest a soft cloth and a little neutral detergent; it should never be bleached, washed, ironed, tumble dried or dry cleaned. For a gift, tuck a handful of colouring pencils and a sharpener inside so it is ready to use the moment it is unwrapped, or pair it with a plain notebook in one of the blues or greens from the print for a tidy desk set.
