Crayola 12 Twistables

Twistables are a great option for any younger students. With a handy retractable crayon, there is no need to worry about sharpening. Twistables are also that bit wider than colouring pencils making them easier to grip.

Feadog Tin Whistle Brass

While they are sure to provide one or two (or more) headaches throughout the year, most primary school students will need a tin whistle for their music lessons this year. Any secondary students might use a tin whistle as part of their music studies as well.
