First, consult with your kids’ school or teacher for recommended school supplies or classroom equipment. They can offer great advice on what your child might need in the new academic year. Once you have these recommendations, sit down and go through the list.
Shopping for certain key items plays a big part in the fun of going back to school. New school backpacks and pencil cases, for example, are things that help kids cultivate their own identity and style.
Amazon offers a wide range of these to suit a variety of tastes that you can shop for with your kids in the comfort of your home.

Bring out all the stationery supplies you have and organise them in drawers or clear plastic boxes, where you can easily see and take out what you need.
Keeping tabs on what you have and what you’ll need to buy can save money and help you plan your budget for the year ahead.
Pencils, pens, glue, rulers, and erasers are some of the basic stationery supplies every child needs. You can find pens and pencils on Amazon here, and erasers and other supplies here.
But there’s room for fun and creativity even when it comes to basics. For example, you can get stationery sets or lunch boxes and water bottles featuring your kids’ favourite characters that can serve as conversation starters for them at school.
Marking important school dates and events on a common calendar at home in a family area, like the kitchen or living room, helps keep everyone on track with plans.
