How Colour Pens and Erasable Pens Make Studying More Fun
Studying doesn’t always have to feel like a chore. Sometimes, all it takes to make your study sessions more enjoyable is the right stationery. A bright color pen, a smooth-gliding erasable pen, or a stylish gel pen can instantly transform your notebook — and your motivation.
At Goodie Goodie, a New Zealand-owned stationery and lifestyle brand, you’ll find an incredible variety of pens designed to bring creativity, comfort, and fun back to studying. From bold multi-color sets to erasable pens that let you fix mistakes with ease, Goodie Goodie has everything you need to make learning a little more exciting.
The Magic of Colour Pens
There’s a reason why so many students and journal lovers swear by using colour pens. Colour isn’t just aesthetic — it’s scientifically proven to help with learning and memory. Writing notes in colour activates both the creative and logical sides of your brain, making it easier to remember what you’ve studied later on.
When you use a color pen, you’re not only making your notes look pretty — you’re also improving how effectively you absorb information. Highlighting key terms in red, writing headings in blue, or using green for examples can help your mind create visual associations that improve recall.
Why Colour Pens Make Studying Better
-
Better organization: Colour-coding helps you separate topics, definitions, and ideas at a glance.
-
Improved memory: Studies show that information written in colour is easier to remember than information in plain black ink.
-
Boosted creativity: Colour pens turn your notebook into an expressive canvas — ideal for doodles, diagrams, or even aesthetic bullet journals.
-
More motivation: Let’s face it — colourful pages are just more fun to read, review, and share.
At Goodie Goodie, you’ll find dozens of options that make colour-coding effortless. Popular choices include the MUJI Smooth Gel Pen (available in several colours for NZ $3.99 each) and the Crayon 3 Colour Gel Pen 0.5 mm Assorted for NZ $4.99. These pens offer smooth ink flow, vibrant pigment, and sleek minimalist design — perfect for both school and office use.
If you love expressing yourself through stationery, you’ll also find fun limited-edition collaborations like the Pantone × Kaco Gel Pen 0.5 mm or the Uni × Crayon Shin-chan Gel Pen, which add personality and flair to your writing collection.
Erasable Pens: For the Perfect Mistake-Free Notes
We’ve all been there — halfway through a sentence when you realise you’ve misspelled a word or miscopied a formula. Traditionally, that meant ugly scribbles or white-out marks across your page. But with the modern erasable pen, those frustrations disappear.
Erasable pens look and write just like normal gel pens, but their special ink can be gently erased by friction. This makes them a dream come true for perfectionists, students, and anyone who loves clean, organised notes.
Benefits of Erasable Pens
- Rewrite anytime: If you make an error, simply erase and rewrite — no smudges, no waste.
-
Perfect for planners: Plans change! With erasable ink, you can update your schedule neatly.
-
Environmentally friendly: Less wasted paper means a greener study routine.
-
Confidence booster: You’re free to take notes quickly without worrying about making a mess.
One of the best examples is Goodie Goodie’s Animal Paradise Erasable Pen 0.5mm Blue Ink Assorted, priced at NZ $3.50. It’s smooth, comfortable to use, and lets you erase cleanly without damaging the paper. This makes it perfect for everyday studying, especially for maths, science, or any subject where you might need to correct mistakes often.
While some erasable pens rely on special “heat-sensitive” ink, others like the Silent Erasable Pen use friction-based erasers built right into the barrel — simple, effective, and great for schoolbags.
Choosing the Right Pen for You
Everyone’s writing style is different, and that’s what makes exploring Goodie Goodie’s pens collection so enjoyable. Whether you prefer the bold flow of gel ink, the convenience of multi-colour pens like the Kaco 3-in-1 Multi-Functional Pen, or the flexibility of erasable pens, there’s something for everyone.
Here are a few quick tips to help you pick the best pen for your needs:
- For neat note-takers: Try a fine-tip gel pen (0.3 mm–0.5 mm) like the MUJI Smooth Gel Pen for crisp, tidy writing.
-
For creative learners: Go for vibrant colour pens or multi-colour sets to make revision more visual.
-
For planners and perfectionists: Choose an erasable pen to keep your pages clean and adaptable.
-
For gift-givers: Look for themed or collaboration pens like the Pantone × Kaco range — fun, trendy, and practical.
