What did kids write with in the victorian era?
They wrote with a sort of fountain pen that was based on a quill, but without the feather. A popular writing tool in Sydney in the Victorian era was a wooden pen with a metal (or silver) nib at the end that you would dip into an ink pot. It was a very messy way of writing. This is why victorian scholars were often described as having inky fingers, because the type of pen that they used constantly was the pen described above.
