Time flies in a pandemic, and believe it or not school will be starting up again quite shortly. Though school probably won’t be the same as it normally is this fall, that doesn’t mean that your kid(s) won’t be needing back-to-school supplies, which is why we’ve put together a list of the top ten items that your kids will love, or at least need. We have items on here that are great for parents and teachers alike to buy to make the classroom experience as great as possible this fall.
Crayola’s 24-Set of Twistable Crayons
Twistable crayons are a great get for students, and really are an improvement of “regular” crayons, whose tips dull too easily and are covered in paper that you need to peel in order to keep coloring. With twistables, you get a crayon that is always in a good shape for precise coloring and doesn’t require anything messy to keep writing with it–just keep twisting!
Crayola’s 200-Count Washable Markers
With 25 markers each of the 8 primary colors, this large-count Crayola marker pack is perfect for families with multiple children, or even just one child who will be needing markers for the next few years of school and possibly beyond.
Ticonderoga 96-Pack of Pencils
This classic yellow-body, pink-eraser pencil combo pack of pencils is sure to last your kid through the school year and beyond. The Ticonderoga brand is the ‘gold standard’ when it comes to pencils for the classroom.
Elmer’s 30 Pack of Glue Sticks
These 0.24 ounce glue sticks are long-lasting and are the perfect size for any glue-necessary project a teacher may assign. The disappearing purple also means that any glue that gets on your child will be much easier to clean, or at least hide until the school day is over.
Crayola’s Multicultural Skin Tone Color Pack
Crayola’s 80-count marker pack encompasses 8 shades that correspond to a range of skin tones, allowing students from all backgrounds to color themselves, their friends, or anyone they can imagine from a diverse array of racial backgrounds.
A need for privacy in the classroom may seem a little counterintuitive, considering it’s a space where a multitude of students closely sit together, but these barriers kids sit on their desks can be a great help, especially for students who have trouble keeping their eyes from wandering during a test, whether it’s to look over at another paper or just for the sake of wandering itself.
BIC’s 12-Count Chisel Tip Highlighters
BIC’s pack of multi-color highlighters are great for students to mark the essential information in their textbooks and notebooks, and the thin chisel tips of these markers make it easy to make precise highlights across a wide range of text or writing sizes.
50-Pack of Clear Plastic Rulers
This one may be of more use to teachers than parents, unless you are the old woman who lived in a shoe who very well had 50, or close to 50, children. The clear and transparent look of these rulers makes it easy to measure something while still being able to see it, which can be a great perk for a good many projects. And, since they’re plastic and flexible, it takes some effort for them to break. Luckily, the 50-pack ensures that you will have enough leftovers in case that does happen.
Favourde 48-Pack Magnetic Dry Eraser Cleanser
Favourde’s magnetic cleanser are compact and effective at getting even the toughest board marks cleaned. The 48-pack ensures you’ll be set for a long while with just one purchase.
Scotch 12-Count Pack of Kids’ Scissors.
Scotch’s Kids Scissors are perfect for a teacher or parent to keep handy, though the 12-pack may be best for just teachers, who can provide these during group projects or to students who may have left their scissors at home for the day. Safe to use and effective for cutting, these are a great choice for scissors in a grade-school environment.
