No pencil can ever escaped it: eventually, a pen will leak into your cute little cup, and you won't notice it. You'll pick up one of the other pens, do a little writing, and then discover that your hand is covered with black goo.
To minimize this sort of damage, try something simple. Put a wad of bathroom tissue at the bottom of the cup. It won't keep your pens from leaking, and it won't guarantee that the ink won't coat the other pens; but it should absorb at least some of the ink, creating a layer of protection between the ink and the clean pens.
Some ink may be too thick for the tissue to absorb, but in that case, at least the tissue will protect the bottom of the cup.

Do you have any hints on how to get the children to keep the pen's in the little cup? (My children seem to forget to put them back everytime).
oops. Forgot to add, thanks for stopping by my blog.
