You don’t need anything special. A mechanical pencil and some paper with reasonably-sized squares (normal graph paper or print your own) is perfectly fine. Or you can find preprinted hiragana worksheets on the Internet, [like here](http://japanese-lesson.com/characters/hiragana/hiragana_writing.html).
Also, [here’s a video of a native Japanese speaker writing the hiragana with a normal pen](https://youtu.be/wD3FJgij79c).
The things to pay attention to are:
– stroke order (this is important); – whether each stroke ends with a stop, a jump (a little flick), or a sweep; and – relative proportions.
Again, to repeat: You do not need a special writing instrument or paper for this. You just need to follow good examples of handwritten hiragana.
