Back to school supplies

What are some essential supplies that my child will need for the upcoming school year?

While many schools these days provide a checklist for different grades of what supplies they will need, there are some very basic but essential back-to-school items. These will most likely include pens or pencils (depending on your child’s age), erasers, pencil sharpener, scissors, highlighters, a water bottle and a lunch box.

How do I choose the right backpack that is both functional and stylish?

When choosing the right backpack for your child, you want something that is both functional and stylish. Backpacks, particularly for pre-schoolers, should have a secure zip closure, a large compartment big enough for their lunch box and water bottle and adjustable straps that can grow as they do. Our Moulin Roty backpacks are simply adorable and designed to last. Choose between the many different animals, characters and colours, to find one that suits your child’s personality.

Are there any eco-friendly back-to-school supplies that I can opt for to be environmentally conscious?

If you want to ‘go green’ when purchasing your child’s back-to-school supplies there are plenty of environmentally friendly options. Pencils made out of sustainably responsible wood, exercise books made from recycled paper, and drink bottles made from recycled plastic are some examples of how you can feel good about the school supplies you have purchased.

What are some affordable back-to-school supplies that won’t break the bank?

When stocking up on your child’s back-to-school supplies, you don’t need to break the bank to make sure your child has the essentials. There are lots of options for your basics such as pencils, erasers, exercise books, and backpacks all at very affordable prices.

How can I make sure that the supplies I purchase are durable and will last throughout the school year?

Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter which back-to-school supplies you choose, most will inevitably end up lost, borrowed out (and never returned) or deep in the abyss which is your child’s backpack. All of that is perfectly normal and part of being a kid but the good news is that these days there are loads of different ways to label your school supplies with your child’s name There are stamps, stickers, and even pretty cool printable labels. If you don’t have any of these, the humble permanent marker will work just as well.
