You most likely have your back-to-school list from your teachers and have checked everything off from binders to markers, but what about items not on that list that can make the schoolyear more personalized and streamlined? We’re sharing some of our must-have favorites!
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SUPPLIES
You just bought all your school supplies, backpacks, water bottles, and maybe even school uniforms so you want to make sure it all comes home each day too! Mabel’s Labels is the perfect solution as you can customize labels for books and binders, tags for backpacks, even shoes and of course waterproof labels so your clothes can go through the wash. Put away the sharpie and stick on the label.
The labels come in a variety of sizes too, which is great for labeling notebooks, folders, markers and all of those supplies that have a tendency to get lost half way through the year. We love that they have so many options to create the labels from unicorns and mermaids to sports-themed labels, you pick out the colors and font. The school pack is a great way to get everything labeled. We had our kids help create their labels so that they are more inclined to “spot” their items when they get lost. We highly recommend either adding a label or water bottle band to water bottles too. It seemed like everyone had similar water bottles, so the band and label were nice to differentiate.
LUNCH MORE, WASTE LESS
Premium lunch boxes without the plastic or paper bags… not only is PlanetBox made of non-toxic stainless steel but it’s also designed with portions and kid’s appetites in mind. Plus they are easy to clean and can be personalized with magnets and matching carrying bags and totes.
The award-winning customizable kits make it easy for parents to make lunch and more fun for kids to eat it. The containers, pods and dippers are great for kids that don’t like their food to touch and makes it simple to ensure that all the food groups are covered for a balanced meal.
“STEP” INTO THE NEW SCHOOLYEAR
From sneakers to sandals and all the school must-haves, Pediped footwear is the next best thing to bare feet. From genuine leather, to a Flex Fit System that allows to adjust the fit of the shoe, to style and the promotion of healthy foot development as approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association… Pediped has become a staple year-round in our home.
Our boys love the gym shoes and high top boots. Our girls love the metallics and details like bows and shimmer, and as parents we love that for all our kids the shoes are durable, some machine-washable, and again so comfortable while allowing for growing feet to continue to develop. Whether we’re at school, riding bikes, or running around town, we’re always in our Pedipeds!
SHOWCASE YOUR STEAM STYLE
From science and engineering to robotics and math, Piccolina fashions are focused on STEAM, Discovery and Trailblazer favorites… the fashions are so unique and can be completely tailored to the personalities of little ones. We like the mix and match within a theme, the idea of sibling matching, and then the famous faces like Marie Curie and Amelia Earheart. Everything they make lets kids know from the time they are toddlers that there is no limit on what is interesting, aspirational or achievable in life!
It’s amazing that everything from problem solving to social skills, nature, scientific thinking and even activism can be reinforced, and celebrated, with an outfit. We love the tulle skirts paired with embroidered sweatshirts, or the versatile tunic dresses that can be worn alone or paired with leggings. We’re always a big fan of sibling matching and from music to the rainforest, Piccolina has options for sisters of any age and even brothers too!
