My friend uses double ended felt tips so she has the choice of fine or thick. If he gets on OK with a cheap set you may then like to try a better quality.

Felt pens are definitely best - you can get some reasonable ones from Wilco. Just had a look and they do a bic pack for £1.50 (From £3).

Good Luck smile x

My dad has just moved into a care home and is pretty fed up - I`m trying to find him things to do to take his mind off his situation. I got him an adult colouring book and some crayons but he is not greatly impressed by the results he is getting. He isn`t able to press down on the crayons so the pictures do look a bit washed out. Would he do better with pens? If so, can anyone recommend a good starter set. I don`t want to spend a great deal at this stage in case he decides it`s not for him.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I know absolutely nothing about this!
