Top Picks for Back-to-School Must-Haves

This is the staple back-to-school item that every child needs. Be sure to look at each backpack’s size and compartments to ensure it will fit your child in size and function. These are some of our favorites for different ages!

It’s all about being organized this school year! Because if children have a place for their items, the likelihood of them putting away their items properly (and not losing them) is higher . . . at least that’s what we try to achieve, right? Here are some cute and fun ways to create a more organized system for your little student.

Kids will need the basic tools for school, like pencils, paper, scissors, glue, crayons, etc. And don’t forget about that pencil sharpener, an added charger, some highlighters, or an easy eraser for those mistakes. When a child feels prepared, they’re more focused on the task at hand.

Folders and binders are so important to helping kids bring home their notes or papers from their teacher. Make sure you invest in sturdy folders, or else you’ll be buying them all year long. They now make great expandable folders that can hold so much more for multiple classes. It’s our modern-day binder!

Planners and/or calendars can make all the difference in your child’s organization, responsibility, and promptness for assignments. Even better, scoop one up for yourself as a parent to help organize everyone’s schedule and due dates in one place. It will help the 2024-2025 school year be so much more of a breeze!

Some may say this is their favorite “subject in school,” but no matter how old your child is, having the right supplies for lunch helps make a world of difference. Be sure to choose a sturdy box because they tend to get thrown around daily. Does your child not enjoy a cold lunch? No problem! There are a lot of new items out there that make any school lunch possible and fun!

We spend so much time and money picking out all those new back-to-school outfits, and then our kid comes home with a chocolate milk stain right down their shirt. You’ll want to throw a few stain-fighting supplies in their bag that may help you save their favorite outfit.

Some children need to carry school IDs at all times, along with their house keys and other important cards. Having a safe, stylish, and fun spot for these important items is “key” (pun intended).
