Paper was invented by the ancient Chinese in the second century BC during the Han dynasty when the Chinese were inventing silk. By the tenth century the way of making paper spread to Italy and soon the south of Germany. People still used the old papyrus and parchment.

the first pen was invented by Egyptians. The first pen was called the reed pen. It was made in 4,000 BC, followed by the quill pen, fountain pens, the ballpoint pen, and the modern ballpoint pen. They made the reed pen because they needed something to write with.

The Egyptians developed a form of writing with pictures. For writing on papyrus scrolls scribes used thin reed brushes or reed pens.

The romans have been developing form of writing, that they scribed into thin sheets of wax (on wooden tablets). Romans used a metal stylus. When they no longer needed the writing, they rubbed it out with the flat end of the stylus.

As well as writing on parchment, the anglo-saxons also used tablets filled with wax for notes and for planning the layout of large books. They wrote on the tables with the metal or bone stylus, that had a pointed end and rubbed out the words with that flat end.

The europeans found that writing on parchment with a quill pen altered the style of their writing. At first, they used capital letters all the time, but later they developed faster styles with small letters.

Paper is made from pulp and has an extract from wood.

Papyrus was the first paper made with the insides from reeds and then crushed with a slab of stone.

Canvas is a more fresh product with no additives but pulp. That is why the material is rough unlike paper.

On average, a pen can write approximately 4,500 words.

The word pen comes from the Latin word ‘pinna’.

The first ballpoint pen was invented in 1938 by Laszio Biro.

The pens we had longtime ago like the reed pen were not so accurate, considering the material.

The pens we use today are colorful, come in different sizes and shapes and colors.

The paper we had long time ago was not so smooth, making your handwriting spoilt.

The paper we have today is more smoother, easy to write on, and comes in white. And comes in different forms.
