Paperclips are good but can rip through the scrathboard if the students
aren't gentle. I had a bunch of wooden stylus given to me by an exiting 2nd
grade teacher, they were very good but worn done. What I found to replace
them were wood shiskewbob sticks that you can buy at the grocery for under
$2.00. The pack usually has 25 long wood sticks with pointed ends that work
well with the scratch board you just need to cut the wood down a little so
the kids don't poke their eyes out with the longer sticks.
